Even then you would still need to actually go get the license and maintain it.   

It's not quite the same, but it's actually better because we don't waste time drinking beers and shooting the breeze about football or cars.

A helpful trick is to completely ignore the rents the buildng comes with and figure out the actual market rents you can get. 

I am actually about to try again, so any insights from the community will be appreciated!

  " Inventory should increase and prices should dip" Ray,you were so wrong in that prediction because as everyone knows, the  interest rate dropping and many people's rush to buy housing so they could work remotely actually caused price increases in so many places.  

I did not want to incur the cost but I figured...that maybe....just maybe....sometime in the near future us ADU home owners may be able to rent both units....like a duplex.At that point it will be worth it to let the tenets be responsible for their own bills.Not saying that other ways are bad...they are actually very cost effective if you are living there...but what about as you scale your business and move onto other properties.This of course if your city will allow you to rent both units...the city I am in is tough but things can change as more pressure is being put on affordable housing.Once again...not saying any way is right or wrong...I just did it this way for the reason I just mentioned.Thank you....

You'll actually learn useful stuff and won't be set back 5 years with an upsell.

Actually, I do have a close date.

We are actually working with MEDC to put together workshops to help provide trainings for various regions in MI to help fill in the development gaps from the real estate entrepreneurs and what it takes to build a development company and complete a project.

I am actually doing this right now with my personal rentals.
