EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

next I will be surprised if you can add a ground up ADU in Bay Area at $200k unless you do some of the work. 

Not surprisingly, ZHVI also has very similar data result6.
