Hi Kailas - Yes, you can typically rent out the main house and the ADU to separate tenants on separate leases (so long as you're compliant with city regulations/restrictions).

This will provide protection both against the city as well as provide ability for you to pursue eviction if needed. if you rent an illegal unit and the tenant doesn't pay you have no grounds for eviction.

He does a good job laying out the pros/cons and issues he's had with the city. 

something like that:https://www.biggerpockets.com/... there is a thread like that usually for each city ?

@Alethia Hines I don't have any direct experience, but one person I know that did have success in this sector had made great connections with city county folks.

B+ is mostOf the suburbs around the city, pockets of south Buffalo like Caz park, some of the West side bordering the Elmwood village and some of North Buffalo.

Of course, there are always multiple ways to overcome any challenge, but this is how we have done it so far...My partner and I currently own and operate transitional living houses in a Midwest city, and it is definitely a different business than owning or managing standard rentals.  

The architectural quotes I have received for design, city review changes, and all construction docs are extremely high. 

Looking to connect with like minded individuals in the Kansas City, Kansas area!

Plus, the city’s growth in logistics is a good sign for rental demand.Excited to see where your journey takes you!
