Since I plan to hold this property long-term, I don’t care about increasing official square footage, I just want a functional space.Question: Has anyone here done a “garage upgrade” or ADU extension like this, pulling permits for essentials (bathroom, electrical, replacing garage doors with walls/windows) but keeping it simple otherwise?

Is a project manager essential/required on a rehab.

I essentially want to be able to marry the data easily from Buildium to quickly so I get a full financial view of my business.

It’s essential to know the income and expenses for each property in the portfolio, and equally important to track each property’s basis, adjusted basis, and accumulated depreciation.

In my over half century investing in real estate I have never really found a book or singular resource that "ties together the essentials - investing principles, lending strategies, dal analysis, syndications and PM best practices" as you ask.  

Essentially, they handle tenant placement, rent collection, and basic maintenance coordination, so you don’t necessarily have to hire a separate property manager for the usual tasks.

I completely agree that maintaining a calm and professional approach is essential in these situations.

We have a listing now that's for sale in the Historic Riverside area that's generating over $40,000 in annual gross revenue after Airbnb fees.

I’m looking for something that encompasses all the essentials, from investing principles and lending strategies to deal analysis, syndications, and property management best practices.
