The mortgage would stay under the seller's name.The buyer could then rent out the unit, renovate, etc. to increase cash flow or make more money.But aside from a possible "due on clause" being called by the mortgage company, what's the benefit to the seller?

@Pat Aboukhaled I would ULS (unit lot segment) the primary house and include a clause in the call option that would prevent them acquiring the DADU.

These two states have been super hot over that last few years when it comes to both single family and 2-4 unit multi=family rentals.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

I know you mentioned other units are listed comparably but asking price is not the same as rented price.

I like small units (they don't trip breakers) and they are cheap.

I do not know PL too much but I know it is the most popular for small unit count operators. 

Hey Elizabeth,The biggest question I have is if you are willing to live in one of the units.

Get into details on how renovations are done with units occupied, what systems they use to mitigate tenant fraud on applications, how they set price levels for the units?  

My advice is look for a good 2-4 unit investment property that my be a little outdated or need some TLC/renovations.
