Rent Demand: Thousand Oaks vs Santa Clarita
I'm looking to buy a SFH, preferably with a detached garage to convert to an ADU.
Some houses in Thousand Oaks have detached garages, but Santa Clarita has none. It would be more expensive to build an ADU from the ground up compared to converting an existing detached garage.
Having said that, my concern is that Thousand Oaks has less rent demand than Santa Clarita, and that i would be harder to find tenants.
Which city has higher rent demand and what resources can you recommend to compare rent demand?

@Paul Wolfson You may enjoy the school system demand in SCV more, TO is great but not all their school through all the grades. dealing with the city for your ADU In Scv might also be interesting, I don't know anyone who has done one out there yet.
