Your improvement of an ADU unlike those other improvements provides house and substantial additional income compared to other improvements. 

For example, require a minimum FICO score of XXX, gross monthly income X times the rent, and verifiable income for the last X years.

The problem is mainly a concern for people with a net worth or reasonable income. 

@Mike ReynoldsRegarding your comment that if you need funds you can use money from your side business:You can't use non-retirement funds to pay for expenses related to real estate held inside you Solo 401k.Subject to the contribution rules and income limitations, you may be able to contribute non-retirement funds to your Solo 401k (e.g. as an employee or employer contribution) and then you could use the funds in your 401k to pay for expenses related to real estate owned by your Solo 401k.

However, what if you prefer simplicity, limited risk, and are living off of the income? 

Just make sure that anything that earn for this settlement is not subject to tax and if it is - allocate properly. 

I have pretty good w2 income so it’s just a matter of sometime before I have cash to buy another.

I would prefer to sell the property vacant or the easiest less stressful way as possible, however I was advised that could deter investors buyers interest as the rental income is a one of my strong selling points.I am open and would appreciate any thoughts and/or suggestions from fellow agents or investors alike.Thanks

Quote from @Jeffrey Bourque: Hello All, I am new and this is my first attempt at purchasing a property with the intent to create monthly cash flow.The property: Triplex Listed at $140,000 - Total monthly rent income $2,150 - Tenants want to stay and are all willing to sign new leases for 3 years - 8 beds 5 baths and 3,500sqft livable space on a 4,800sqft lot - Heat and electric paid by tenants and water trash paid by owner $180 month - I have managed to talk the selling price down to $105,000 with a kick of $10,000 for closing and commissions so $115,000 all in - Building is in fairly good shape according to pictures and questions but have not done a inspection yet - some general maintenance repairs are needed according to the seller but nothing that seems to bother the tenants. - Taxes are on the higher side at $6,000 yearMy Numbers: $115,000 putting 20% of my money $23,000 and finance the rest with total expense of $1,834Monthly expense numbers: Future Maintenance 13% $273 - Vacancy 5% $105 - Property Insurance 5% $105 - Property Taxes 23% $500 - Property management 10% $215 - Office/Travel/Legal 4% $84 - Mortgage 26% $552 - Monthly Cash Flow - $316 per month or $3,792 per year so Cash on Cash = 17%I think this looks like it is a deal worth doing and I also believe I can bump the total rent up by $50 each tenant which I think make it even better.

Those who have figured this out have earned my firm's business; I'm not willing to be held hostage by 'process.'
