As to the grandfathering - I went to the main library and looked at the criss-cross/Haynes directories.

@Mimi Takele The answer is - maybeThe main question is when did you complete the start-up phase and became actively engaged in business?

Some municipalities like Dekalb County and Decatur require the homeowner to live on the property.ADUs should be at most 40% of the main residence's floor space, with a maximum size of 800 square feet in some areas.

I’ve been looking on the website for bigger pockets but it’s mainly just multi- family.

Also, it was the main criteria BEFORE these Tangible Property Regulations were created in 2013.

I'm guessing one could be called the junior adu and the other being the main ADU could work.

The reasoning is mainly because it is the most tangible thing to research when you get started - in my view at least.I'd eventually like to get SFH and start building relationships with insurance or other companies.Do you do MTR?

Is it mainly through networking and events? 

So I just saw this post about Section 8 HUD tenants, and this post stated something along the lines of section 8 tenants being more likely to damage properties because they're section 8 low income tenants, and also something about investors not wanting to put money needed into Section 8 properties because they think they're just going to be ruined by these Section 8 tenants, and as someone who knows the entire process with investors, owners, contractors, tenants, and prospective tenants, this is what I have to say about it:In my experience, Section 8 HUD tenants are actually better custodians of the property because of many factors, but 3 of the main reasons being, there is an annual HUD inspection that is performed on each property, so this gives the owner an extra 'protection vector' against damages, also, the initial placement of a Section 8 HUD tenant requires a passing HUD inspection, therefore there's a record of the property's initial state prior to move in, and additionally, they want to have an easy renewal voucher process annually, and their unit remaining in good condition is an incentive for those reasons, therefore they are LESS likely to damage a property - their future depends on it!

If we do end up going that route, I was thinking it might be a good idea to rent out the basement and live in the main house (house hack).I did some Google searching to see what a basement might rent for in that area, however, I was having a hard time finding any listed anywhere.
