Hi everyone, maybe a rookie question here, but I had a W2 for a good portion of 2023 and also had a self-employed business for the other half.

I think the ADU will add decent equity to the property since everyone seems to be looking for space for elderly parents or just a separate area to work and/or play.

They got on talking and Nick sent his first deal on May 18 but not yet a registered broker with SilverSky (We do have a broker program to enroll brokers before we ever fund their deals).Our investor's on the deal doing due diligence had concerns with both the sponsors and the deal which were communicated with Nick then again he reached out to me (Rodolfo) on June 7 and I knew nothing about it, but quickly reached out to Shah who confirmed the deal was off the table and Nick was told the deal is not a good fit.Nick requested for references which I did provide, I guess he was possibly looking at the wrong website (silverskycapital.com) hence he couldn't find any reference of our closed deals.We did receive client's complaints about Nick's negative propaganda on BP and I had to respond to his claims by signing up on BP but while I'm glad to become a new memberof the BPC, I can only hope not to get banned like everyone else whose account got closed in this thread without a known reason, not to mention our FL client, John Stolarenko whose been a member of BPC for over 2 years, but responded and got his account deactivated, he's did reach out to find out what was going on and if this is what paying $500 for an annual premium membership on BP is about, then I don't think I want to be part, especially being used as a platform to bully private lenders and investors who declined to fund loan request is preposterous.This only reminds me how Trump got kicked off of Twitter in 2021.

That being said, if your budget allows it, don't be afraid to hire some of all projects out, not everyone can or have to DIY.

One can also or should also take into account the emotional/mental and life style factors that may come into play too since everyone has different preferences on what they'd like to do with their free mind / time space.I think for some the 14 hours is more than acceptable however if a person was willing to trade that 14 hours and perhaps reduce it down to 20-30 minutes of calls/emails per month by hirining a professional manager it may make sense as well depending on the cost.
