i do know one female investor in beach areas of Orange County that sometimes chooses to add ADU on her flips and does well, but she is not hands off and is selective where she adds the ADUs.  

The orange-color wood floor looks beat up and the color is definitely out of favor.What is the design plan?

Seems like 4 years ago you could buy higher quality product for depressed pricing versus today so somewhat and apples to oranges comparison of the quality of product and area for the price point.I don't do SFR at all but know much better opportunities in better areas 4 years back.

They are strictly taxation.If you are setting up a trust, you should get a CPA.Find a bookkeeper for your daily driver, if you find one that focuses on real estate, then during year-end your CPA won't charge you an arm and a leg.

I wonder what I'd be able to do with 3-6 months then.It's sort of like comparing apples to oranges then I'd assume?

Quote from @Bruce Woodruff: Now Joe, you know better than to do work without a Contract :-).... and nothing verbal ever...But the good news is that without a contract, he has no leg to stand on either.I'd still call an Attorney and run this past them.

Bottom line is they are worth more independantly than together as they are apples and oranges and tougher to sell when bundled together- when you do decide to sell.
