Separately I have a non paying tenant I am evicting which will cost me c10 months rent but that is another story and buyer beware in dealing with NYC tenancy and housing laws - advice is hire a lawyer from day one of nonpayment.Two questions for the forum:1.

Some cities are very lenient about that and allow building separate structures (i.e. another house).

Layer in any aspects of buying anything that may involve an ADU or you float up to FHA 2-4 and separation will happen with experienced lenders.

The upstairs has a separate entrance, then 2 bedrooms, kitchen, living area and bathroom plus a door going out to a balcony from the kitchen.

A cost segregation study is a strategic tax planning tool that separates the assets that have a shorter useful life and can be depreciated over 5, 7 and 15 years from the residential rental property or nonresidential real property that are depreciated over 27.5 and 39 years, respectively.

I would also be looking to separate out the meters after the install and start charging tenants for electric with exception of the one that I'm running the solar thru.

The property includes two separate parcels each with there own address.

Agreed re Scottsdale potential especially around Old Town to North Scottsdale (location of my other property) and I would be able to get a bigger space (LA and NY is a studio or 1bd) - I'll make a separate trip but appreciative to hear insights on the current market and what you all would do!  

But on many of these tools, you should be able to search by real estate as a specialty.Happy to touch base separately if I can answer any followup questions.

Lastly, recognize that it may be possible for you to condo and sell the ADUs separate from the original unit.
