If you are looking to build your investments the cash flow may not be the best at first but with time will get better.

I purchased a vacant lot in 2023 for $155,000 for the purpose of building a primary residence on it.

All of the meetings that I see about ADUs are sponsored by builders who want to sell their ADUs.Are there others who want to build their own or want to share their experiences about building ADUs / converting outbuilding / navigating codes in Portland that DO NOT involve hiring one of these tiny house start-up companies?

Our biggest hurdle right now is building a relationship with the right agent and getting deals put in front of us consistently.

We also put the foundation to build an ADU, but aren't sure if we should keep putting money into this house or get back to living by the beach.

Was able to build an ADU in the basement, rent it out, and gained around $150k equity in the process.

If you had to do it all over again, would you purchase and existing Storage business or buy/lease land and build a storage business and why?

Assuming a building footprint of up to 5000 sq ft, use could not support the need for a lot of parking (probably <20 spaces).Not interested in auto maintenance and other uses that require disposal (and potential runoff/dumping) of large volume of hazardous materials.Long term, I'd prefer something that contributes to the improvement of this area (e.g. a used car lot might be OK for a couple of years just to generate income, but I'd want to find something more beneficial after that).
