I've reviewed the ADU rules on some of the different city's websites, now I realize how much variance there is just within the county...For example, Santee has a new owner occupancy requirement that will go into effect on any ADU's permitted after 2024 and a strict no STR policy, La Mesa on the other hand seems really ADU friendly.Does anyone here have recommendations on which cities in SD county to avoid and which to explore for ADU's?

I am open to exploring other metrics and strategies that might offer better insights into profitability and ROI.I’m curious to know what metrics or strategies you and others have found to be effective in evaluating and maximizing real estate investments.

There is one other transactional party that is also unintentionally adversely effected: Sellers.

I want to start investing into section 8 housing, and I have heard a lot when it comes to cost segregation and the effect that it can have on one's taxes throughout the year. 

The net effect is that the money is out for less than 30 minutes in almost all cases (exception would be end of month when the title company has in influx of deals, but we're also in an ABA with them so we tend to get taken care of very quickly even during those times).3.  

I'm brainstorming ways that I can most effectively use this empty space... 

This scenario is extremely common and while I exaggerated numbers for effect, I have had this conversation with clients and their CPAs and the client is usually surprised when you put the numbers on paper. 

Most effective action as shared above is to replace the full roof.

So in effect, yes, you have to deal with it.

And very little after effects.....You can thank me later
