The City of San Jose has on their website that new addresses are required but separate meters are optional (link below).https://snapadu.com/blog/electric-panels-upgrades-power-sources-adu/https://cao-94612.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/City-of-Oakland.PGE-Joint-Information-Bulletin-METERS-FINAL.pdfhttps://www.sanjoseca.gov/business/development-services-permit-center/accessory-dwelling-units-adus/adu-faqs

You'd have to do all the legwork in sourcing the opportunity. 

What's the breakdown between direct-to-seller, through a broker, or other source?

As you're probably aware, cashflow is very difficult without a large down payment or the ability to cover negative cashflow with other sources of income.

Unless the property is big and/or you are only going to source Section 8 tenants, I think it is unlikely that you will get $1,700 to $1,900 per unit. 

A couple of other sources that could generate flips are expired, withdrawn and canceled listings. 

It's a hit or miss with some lenders but the best capital sources I work with has an amazing rep and provides us with guidelines/resources to get deals closed.

I wonder who their funding source is.. to fund these deals in any volume you need Monster lines of credit etc or if they just pitch them to a HML who is already up and running.. 

I think my big question is the 7 day minimum, I haven’t actually called the offices to confirm but 7 day minimum is not good for business   @Joshua Messinger I would love to see what the numbers look like through as many sources as I can get.  

I'm learning about this field and I am not sure what sites to trust for gaining information on the estates and who are credible sources.
