The appeal period was extended until today, 12/2.

The average person thinks about a dollar and how they can spend it.

query=garage#sear...If you can rent a 2 garage at $450 without spending ~$150k for a garage ADU conversion, no work/risk of the ADU conversion, the lower maintenance/capex, easier eviction, no rent control, less tenant interaction, it will not convert your SFR to rent control, etc, it seems superior to the garage ADU conversion.  

I'm going to get a survey regardless, but I'd like to line all this up before I start spending on soft costs.The weird thing is I see other investors doing these DADU deals and I've never heard anything mention the above requirements / scenario. 

There’s a lot of valuable information out there without spending thousands of dollars.

Prior to investing, you should be spending a lot of time with discovery.

You can spend as little as $100 to form an LLC, or you could use an attorney and spend $1,000 or more.

They said lock could not be extended (it was a very favorable rate), and they want to increase rate about 0.5%.   

Then don't rehab for zero COC return.But if you can spend $3000 on the lite rehab and increase rent from $1000 to $1050 then you'd gain $50 per month.50 x 12 = $600 more annually because you rehabbed.600 / 3000 = .2 or a 20% cash on cash return! 

They spend a ton of money on advertising their product and apparently have none left over to spend on product development.
