Here is an example of what it costs you to avoid professional advice.

If it costs $100,000 to install an ADU and it rents for $1,000 a month, then it may be worth it.

It will cost less than $150,000 and will need moderate renovation work.

I already have some equity in the property after doing a complete rehab but I don't want to diminish my returns selling it after one year, paying for commissions/closing costs.

I own a duplex in Clermont, FL just outside of Orlando and initially wanted to split water meters between the two units, but the cost and amount of work were higher than expected.

We are considering building and holding townhomes but need to determine the costs.  

Hey Cameron, for experienced investors I can lend up to 100% of the purchase and rehab costs on 1-4 unit properties.

He's changing the terms of the agreement, and you can choose to accept it or reject it.I don't think it's fair to pass this cost onto the tenant just because you are unwilling to stand up to the contractor.

Hi Chris, As financing costs will be a big factor in determining profitability, you should be asking HMLs for proposals to fund. 

It cost me $8500 in my HCOL to get the electric separated on a 3 unit.
