This is only one of a plethora of issues that make ADU additions typically a poor RE investment.  

You can also check meetup.com or search Facebook for real estate investment groups, clubs, or meetings in your area.

I plan to house hack for my first  investment property and most likely do the same for my 2nd, 3rd, property as well!

I am considering using my next bonus to begin real estate investing.

So over 2 years ago I bought my first investment property.

It's always best to do your own experiments and in your case you have a two-year successful case study.Not sure if you self-manage, but either way, did you get into real estate investing to get a second job with more to-do tasks, or did you get into this for cashflow?

For me its realatviley close to my primary location which I would like to be in decent driving distance for out of state investments.

Are you looking to hold on for long term appreciation while getting some cash flow or are you looking into other potential investment ideas?

I'm looking to buy my first investment property and this sounds very appealing. 

during my process of investing and the extent I have gone, I have the opportunity to record with Ashley Kehr and Tony Robbinson for a Bigger Pockets rookie episode coming up!
