Other then that photographers can do pictures from the ground.

I know this post is a little old and not sure if you went through with your ADU construction yet, but my partner does ADU ground up construction in the LA area.

It sounds like what you really need is a handyman that you could send out when you need for on the ground maintenance.

So, you want to watch tenant credit scores, see the default chart below: FICO Score Pct of Population Default Probability 800 or more 13.00% 1.00% 750-799 27.00% 1.00% 700-749 18.00% 4.40% 650-699 15.00% 8.90% 600-649 12.00% 15.80% 550-599 8.00% 22.50% 500-549 5.00% 28.40% Less than 499 2.00% 41.00% PROPERTY VALUES: What are buyers willing to pay for a property? 

Granted this was on plots of land I didn't pay for, and that are already connected to the city's water and sewer, so there's a lot of savings there, but I'm hoping if it turns out to be this good of a deal I can still scoop up land and keep going

I would recommend starting with them to get grounded if you haven't already. 

We also see a lot of ground up projects in HCOL areas that do particularly well. 

Right now, I do have the "REALTOR" status but wondering if it make sense to keep paying the $800/yr to keep the status?

So the ground floor is a store(currently vacant), then have two apartments above.

Robbing a bank to pay rent is a CRIME.
