According to the brokerage and agent, these individuals either weren’t serious or claimed they didn’t realize the property was occupied, even though it was clearly stated in the listing.I’m not particularly concerned about the property’s condition or the eviction process, as I’ve already secured some level of cooperation and have basic access to the basement.

From my basic understanding it would make sense to change it to a rental and then do the remodel so I can claim depreciation on my cost, is this correct or not? 

If you claim it as your personal residence, don't also go and try to claim bonus deprecation against it would be my rule of thumb

Insurance companies appreciate that evidence if a claim were to be made.

Especially a meet up on private lending, ADU additions are discussed regularly (new attendees looking for money for their ADU additions without being aware that no one there will lend on ADU additions).
