The two additional units will be detached from the existing structure so there will be no interruptions from that standpoint.I have agreed to a temporary rent reduction at the tenant's request to compensate for the inconvenience and loss of the backyard during construction. 

@Brian GaissWelcome to Bigger Pockets.

I enjoy helping Bigger Pockets members save time, money and talking REI.

It's been a while since I've involved myself with Bigger Pockets.

Due to recent security frauds and banks not covering losses adequately, apps like Zelle may not currently be the best option.

You as the host take the risk in loss income by not adding extra rooms.

Knowing that someone who can afford a $500k house, can often also afford a $600k or even $700k, house, and will want more of everything (better location, bigger house, better finishes, etc).As for number 1, not even just paying it all up front, but working with any contractor that wants "percentage" draws.  1/3 up front, 1/3 half way done, 1/3 at completion.  

Hello All,New to bigger pockets and looking forward to learn from this community and provide value where I can.

If it takes 6 months to a year to build, that's tons of loss opportunity costs and carrying costs spent. 3.
