@Erik Hatch all units on their own meter except one of the first floor units is on the common meter and electric is included with that unit.

Anyway, I don't see a place/forum for seeking that kind of info and I can't find any reviews for their camp online (one of the problems is that the guy's name is apparently a pretty common name and there appears to be at least 2-3 people here at BP with the same name even, which are not the same guy).

Yes the inverse is more common in a lot of areas.

For example: Where can I learn about the most common problems (and home to spot them) concerning:FlooringThe RoofThe FoundationElectrical Plumbing/PipesPaintingDrivewayEtc..Can anyone point me to good info on this (repair costs, best materials, life expectancy?)

@Mark DotyWanted to share with you a great way to tap into the equity built from your ADU.The problem today: most appraisers used by traditional lenders would give ADU square footage a second-class treatment than the main house (as some of your mentioned above) since there aren't that many comps and they're trying to be conservative.However, you can consider taking out a HELOC/doing cash-out refi through Figure.com (HELOC up to $250k, Cash-out refi up to $1M).

- Is that a common practice to payoff tenants to move out? 

The worst problem is that it's just about impossible to buy shrewdly in a city you don't know well, and you're not going to get the best deals and treatment from people who don't know you and see you as a long term customer. 

This is pretty common to see on MLS. 

I see that open houses are a common way to advertise the property and find a potential tenant-buyer.

It is a tri level house that sets up very well for house hacking with three separate common areas and a large backyard.
