Do NOT buy anything from the Detroit Land Bank!

An expired land lease2.

Quote from @Jeanette Land: Is anyone familiar with TurboTax Premier?

Work with your CPA to allocate more value to land and structure.

Don't split the work between multiple contractors if possible, finding one to do all or most of the work will keep prices down.Challenges were finding replacement pieces for certain items as manufactured homes were very different than stick built as well as going through state guidelines for affixing the house to the land

If the fence is shared and in bad shape, framing it as a mutual improvement could help.

I don’t believe you can do a 1031 into building an ADU on land you already own, even if it wasn’t your primary.Reach out to @Dave Foster if anyone knows he would.

Building a 4,000-square-foot, three-story duplex with a 1,000-square-foot ADU could cost about $1.83 million, including construction and permits (excluding land).

Sacramento is decidedly NOT the land of GSW!

The house is in very good shape, but not perfect, it was built in 1959.
