Hey Hakim, Sure thing, one of the main things to understand is that you have to know how ready are you to purchase the business/property, and you do that by providing all your financials to see if you have enough capital and reserves.

Ideally, properties should have separate entrances for the main living area and the ADU, providing privacy.Kitchen and bathroom facilities should be easily modified or expanded to accommodate both the main residence and rental space.

Vern,  I am in complete agreement with you about why there can't be a place on the web (Connected Investors is too busy promoting their in-house lending company Lending Tree, to be willing to provide a forum for this type of thing.

It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could provide any advice on the best steps to take and your own experiences when starting out.  

@Russell Brazil, thank you for providing the information and contact for a local Baltimore bank!

It's a lot less risky than fix & flip and provides great cash flow.

I am co-owner of a company that provides EMD Lending services to wholesalers. 

A few questions:Did Zillow provide any reasoning for blocking?

There is a university nearby (within 0.4 mi)Any guidance you can provide?

Will trade golf lessons for mentoring 😁 @Joshua Ostler As a professional golfer, your background may provide you with an advantage over other investors.
