I would look into Ubiquity Networking Hardware.

This PM has those fees regardless the price.My properties are at market rates(I did spruce them up with some fresh items-paint/hardware as I increased the tenant's monthly rate this last year :)  Maybe that shows my soft side but it softened the blowAgain, my worry is about possible legislation being put in place because of fees such as these.I am also not hating on PMs  They do provide a valuable service and when I finally do fully retire will be utilizing that service--although the old saying "No one cares for your property as well as you" creeps in my mind.Again, Thank you all for the discussion and making me think..."

Not to toot my own horn or self-promote, but I actually think it's a really good book: NOT Your How-To Guide to Real Estate Investing: Life Lessons on Hacking Your Mind Before You Hack Your Wallet by... me :)Consider it a prerequisite to all the REI how-to guides you could read.

If you are considering an prefab ADU, take a look at the prefab options with Back Porch Homes, they are prefab stick built homes and all materials used can be replaced/repaired with products you can find at your favorite hardware store instead of specialty stores like more manufactured homes.
