Thank you, @Nabil Suleiman! @Christopher J Driscoll did offer some great insight from his experience with ADU's as an architect and property owner. Thank you, @Scott Winnie for reaching out. 

My husband and I are also considering turning our garage into an ADU. I'm wondering what you ultimately chose to do and how it worked out.

I have property in South Los Angeles, just outside of Inglewood. I've found some construction companies that specialize in ADU (Additional Dwelling Units) conversions/construction in SanFrancisco and San Diego but not as many in LA.

Does anyone have experience with ADU specialists in Los Angeles? If so, what company did you work with and what was that process like for you?

Hello. Newby here. 

We have similar questions and would like to piggy-back on Kyle's question about Land Trusts (we're also concerned with personal liability) with some of our own as we continue to do our research.

• For Rental Properties, at what point is it a good idea to form LLC?
• In what situation does LLC fail to protect personal assets?
• Are there huge advantages and disadvantages? Tax benefits?
• Is it necessary to have a Series LLC when owning properties in various states?
• How does one find a loan as an LLC? Is the process any different?

Thank you for taking the time to read. Looking forward to the responses.

Thank you for the suggestion, @TimSiocheng! I had not considered that.

@BryanNoth, I imagine affordable housing solutions (in Austin) are also at the forefront. Is rent control an issue you've had to deal with, even as an investor? Thank you for responding and connecting!

Thank you for taking the time to respond, @RemingtonLyman. Hopefully the "good days" will return. Mobile Home Parks recently caught my attention. Didn't know they were an option for investing before I started looking around BP.

Thank you, @Chad Lanting, for the article links and the advice!

Thank you, Mikael Winkler! 

Thank you, @JonSchwartz! Angelenos unite! We were originally trying for a duplex but instead managed to buy our (fixer) house in South L.A. just before the City announced building the stadium back in 2015... so we're grateful for that. Great advice on the Covid / landlord question. Insight on teammates in various markets and your agent recommendation IS very much appreciated, too. Thank you for your time and consideration!
