The units are very utilitarian, in the first listing there are only 2 art pieces in the living room, they are too small for the wall, and they look like they were ordered off of amazon which isn't necessarily bad but it also doesn't stand out.

Some neighbors also told me that there seems to be more people living in the house (on the lease its supposed to be the lady and her two kids 4 YO and 8 or 9 YO).

helping scale is what I do for a living .. 

Also try to get a guage on how much people are out and about and living on their front porches. 

We do not use the credit score, we use the information on the credit report to gauge how long they have lived at addresses and what kind of judgements they have.

If that is the case, then you are good to go.Next thing will be to not rent anything until you get a real live lease and rental agreements.

I think most people are content with a decent tv in a comfy living room. 

If you live in CA investing in Alabama, OH, or TX might not make sense.

Great idea from @Henry T. to live in the ADU if you can and rent the house.
