Thanks for breaking down the numbers Dan. Yeah it was an example for total rent.

Okay to my understanding you want to pretty much sell your residency to get that $500k exemption money to use on paying off your rental so that you can walk away with the $1.8m - 2m from the sell to utilize for a 1031 exchange. I am a Los Angeles Realtor and for example there is a property in the Glassel park area which is near glendale that is a duplex with one unit that is a 3 bedroom/3 bath and another unit that is 2 bed/2 bath selling for $1.5m with projected ROI of $11,000 per month but of course this does not take into effect expense but just wanted to give you that example to let you know it may be possible. You would definitely have to look on and off market for at least a 3 unit building that does not need any work and pretty much ready to rent or have tenants already there. To my understanding this would be a investment property you would not live in and you would move into a apartment which is dueable. The numbers will let you what you can do but multifamily property inventory has increased and the days on market have been long so there is room for negotiations with very little offers.

Congratulations Shari! What a great accomplishment toward building your portfolio. Culver city is a great area that is pretty trendy these days. Something you can do to start your 5 year plan would be to live in your Condo for 2 years so you can qualify for the $250k tax exemption (if single) $500k if married and then take those funds to either put a down payment on another property you could live in plus you would have some left over funds from the sale. Do the same strategy or use the funds to buy a duplex or triplex, the best thing to do would be to get a property that can produce you income from multiple tenants in my opinion. You can leverage a multifam properties equity to buy more and rinse then repeat. Those funds that you have in your stock portfolio I would allow it to grow while you are building the real estate side of your investment portfolio.

Hey Victor,

Diversification is always going to be the best thing to do so definitely invest also in the stock market in general but I would advise that you move forward with that ADU. So stocks are good but the issue is as you liquidate the asset depletes and till its eventually gone. With real estate your cash distribution is not from the asset it is based on the cash flow that you are getting in excess from the monthly rent. If you plan your expenses properly the income you get from your properties will cash flow for decades and that is money you can reinvest into stocks if you want but it is a stream that is ongoing and you can pass down if you want.


Have you added an ADU? Can you provide addresses of the properties you added an ADU?
There is a reason experienced flippers are not doing ground up ADUs in CA

In general, ADUs cost more to add than the value added creating an initial negative position and typically cause the primary structure to now be rent controlled (even though I believe that is not applying the law as intended).  The issue is building a single small unit is very expensive development.  It is why developers that build in small numbers  (1 to3 units) always build large units. 

Add the finance issues, level or effort it requires, loss of something from primary unit (even if it is just yard), and the amount of time between first capital outlay and initial income.

In general, adding a ground up ADU in SF zoned area is a poor investment.

Best wishes


No I have not added an ADU myself, I have only worked with developers that have added ADU's on their properties and have seen return but that is in the Hollywood hills so not sure what market you are in. As you know it is not one size fits all so it worked for their personal strategy. My response was specifically in regards to investing in the stock market vs real estate. If the numbers are right holding his real estate could be a better option. I never said anything specific about the ADU. You provided a good perspective. Not sure why you felt the need to single out my post and not just answer his question. Best wishes to you also.

I w
as curious because your comment “I would advise that you move forward with that ADU.". I was curious if you had done what you were recommending the OP do. if you had done a ground up ADU addition, I was curious what your valuation was. Maybe you had a different experience than what many investors are encountering. I did not mean any offense, just curious. Apologies if I offended.

Search the forums to see the appraisals many of these ground up ADU additions in SF zoned areas  are getting.  They are regularly getting poor valuations compared to the cost to add the ADU.   

Again I apologize if I offended you.  

Good luck




I appreciate you replying and apologizing Dan. I should have been more clear in my response so that was my fault for not elaborating about working the numbers on the deal. I was just trying to make a point of analyzing it from all sides first before giving up. I had no idea about how bad the valuations are for building the ADU units. Of course it sounds good as extra income but as I am looking it does sound like a headache and not appraising well. Again appreciate you Dan for taking the time inform me.
