Hello Bigger Pockets Community,My name is Nick Narine and I am a 25 year old, civil and environmental engineer.

In that case, making money is based on elements outside your control (interest rates, market appreciation).

Email me and I'll send you our state form, laying out some elements to consider.

That's the same group who licenses real estate agents, and authorizes training for the real estate industry.If a Realtor® in your state has a disclosure form that they commonly use discussing mold or other environmental issues, then your decision to NOT use one makes your transaction "unique" and may also open you up to certain liabilities.  

No matter what style of investing you choose to use, there is always going to be some element of risk, even the opportunity cost associated with tying up capital in anything (CD's, stocks, a loan etc). 

SB 1069 mentions allowing ADUs in Multifamily ZONES (which is different than a multifamly unit) if you refer to that section in the housing element 65589.4 it says Local Law Shall Allow which means they may limit as well, most jurisdictions do limit the ADU to ONLY a property with a permitted structure single family home.San Francisco for example allows multiple ADUs within soft story renovations (ground floor parking)Main point, check your local law - have an architect double check it.

@Mike VirdenIn spite of environmental restrictions, there's plenty of land available in Costa Rica.

Ours are 100% unique design elements mixed with clear photography providing the potential guests a full understanding of the property.
