I have been househacking on and off for about 4 years.

Search the BP for ADU appraisals to encounter numerous examples.

I am foreseeing a bit of a push back or even turned-off potentially decent tenants by the $50/pp screening fee, mostly for a family of 4 ($200 out of pocket).I was wondering if offering a credit of either 50% or the full 100% of the screening costs from the first or second month's rent is a good idea.Thought?

So, I took it off my Application and haven't really thought about it too much since then.I don't remember now where I first heard about it.

some hype but also a lot of good information.also remember: seller finance of a paid off asset, lower risk. 

My contractor brought me a house off the market.

The property is unique—it’s off-grid with a well, solar power, and a fully finished interior.

You can find these deals if you look hard, search the MLS and off market and network.

I’ve been struggling with no bookings for two months and low view rate, and to top it off, the city just set stricter rules for short-term rentals.
