    Accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and their cousin, detached accessory dwelling units (DADUs), can offer tremendous benefits and add value to a property.

    On this solo episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan shares his long history with ADUs and DADUs, beginning with his childhood. He outlines the main differences between ADUs and DADUs and the regulations that can impact them in your particular location.

    In this episode, you will hear:

    • ADUs and DADUs as a solution to the affordable housing crisis
    • The differences between an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) and a detached accessory dwelling unit (DADU)

    • The benefits of putting teenagers in ADUs or DADUs for the summer vacations
    • Renting your ADU as a short-term or mid-term rental when your community allows it

    226: How To Rebuild Your Financial Future One Property At a Time with Melissa Nash
    2025/03/20
    Securing a solid financial future is often the biggest reason people enter the world of real estate investing, which doesn’t require attaining as many properties as you may believe. On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan interviews Melissa Nash, founder of Lady Luck Investments, which emerged out of necessity. Melissa built a portfolio that secured her family’s financial future in less than six years. Now, she’s teaching other women how they can do the same. Melissa wants to change the story of women in real estate and create a legacy of wealth and empowerment. Jonathan and Melissa start their conversation with the story of Melissa’s grandmother-in-law, who began investing in real estate in Los Angeles in the 1960s. Melissa shares her difficulties as a female investor today, her early failures due to her unwillingness to learn, and how a mentor introduced her to turnkey real estate. She highlights the success she eventually found with a Section 8 property, eventually leading to buying some short-term rentals, and explains why she self-manages her properties rather than paying a property manager. You’ll hear the importance of being a good host with STRs, using those STRs to generate immediate cash flow to fund other ventures, and what new investors fail to do as they start their portfolios. Building a financial future with real estate is a method used for generations, and Melissa Nash is creating a legacy of wealth for her family. In this episode, you will hear: Melissa Nash’s inspiration from her husband’s grandmother, who was a real estate investor in Los Angeles in the 1960s and ‘70sThe difficulties of being a female real estate investor, even todayThe failures Melissa experienced before her real estate career took offHer unwillingness to learn in the beginning which contributed to those early failuresHow a mentor introduced Melissa to turnkey real estateFinding success with a Section 8 property and how that led to short-term rental purchases she self-managesThe importance of being a good host for great feedbackAdding or removing amenities based on requests or negative feedbackSTRs as a way to generate immediate cash flow for more STRs or long-term rentalsUsing your rentals for your own enjoyment and building a generational legacy with real estate investingWhat new investors fail to do as they get their portfolios startedMelissa’s mission to educate women on real estate and the potential it offers Follow and Review: We’d love for you to follow us if you haven’t yet.
