Here's my takeaway from the market:Smaller, less impressive cabins are pretty over-saturated and unless you have a big view (or water frontage) to really make you stand out, you will struggle.  

Section 8 can be a PITA in some areas with things like paying rent on time if there is a water stain on the ceiling.

Licensed with permits ~$4,000.Full replacement of all water supply lines and shutoffs from the interior water meter with PEX and an open basement.  1 kitchen 1 bath 1 laundry. 

So adding this to my prospecting plan may provide reach to do deals that I may not have had before simply circling the usual watering holes.

The expansion of ADUs hence serves a dual purpose, simultaneously addressing housing affordability concerns and nurturing the urban economic vitality.As far as sewer and water, they would be pulled off the main in the back of the property.

If the water bill is $100 a month, increase the price by 20% (or whatever you decide is fair) to compensate you for the time required to split and bill and to cover additional use when tenants squander the utility.

The property has 2 electric meters and one water meter.

Sounds like you stopped water which is most important.

That would mean there is an approved site plan that includes roads, water, sewer, storm water, curb, gutter and any required buffers.

Otherwise, you will likely be copying someone else's false expectations.I have reviewed hundreds of such self-constructed logs, and most of them will not hold water.
