In my first deal, I didn't make nearly as much return as I could have if I took it down myself, but I also could have made some terrible decisions without my advisors, and I made sure I paid them well in equity to keep their interest high.

@Hark Tukay  This is terrible and bad actors such as this give the whole turnkey industry a bad name. 

Not a terrible place to own nearby.

Sometimes PM's are terrible to deal with and people won't have it.

I’ve been on a rollercoaster ride, starting my transportation business just to support myself as best as I could.Thankfully I receive VA benefits for health care and other compensation, and by the end of 2023 I will have $25K+ capital to invest or use as a down payment for a duplex I can househack.I have been networking (even though I am terribly shy), making new relationships, trying to do the best possible job for my customers, and now my body is starting to really feel the toll from last year.If there’s anything I have taken from 2022, it’s ‘don’t miss the point of this great journey called life.’

If it is in terrible condition though, you know this is where they need to go.Assuming that the inspection is a pass, tell them that, given their history of payments, you would keep them month-to-month on a sort of interim plan whereby they would have to start paying you on time.

ADUs do not appraise as well as you might think, any time you have have to deal with the city be ready for a terrible experience Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?
