Here in Marin there are few places with any kind of rent control at all.   

The above semi-funny semi-cynical little snippet may only be representative of the Marine Corps, or perhaps the Army infantry, I wouldn't know. 

Thank you Alan.What I hear in your response is that people would need an additional benefit to investing in a ranchland DPP.Much like a co-op or CSA, there should be an in-specie distribution of product; maybe in this case beef?

BUT once the housing was renovated and expanded (since it was one of the biggest marine base) the rental dried up fast!

The only reason I even considered this company after receiving numerous offers was because the founder was a fellow Marine.

Here is another example... a couple years ago, we took over a family member's house in Marin. 

Location: Marin County Zip 94947Option 1: Detached any sq ft (476sq studio ft or 756sq ft are my comparisons; about $40k more for the larger one)Option 2: Garage conversion on 326sq ft (rickety garage that would probably need to be torn down and rebuilt)What is an effective methodology for comping rents when I can't directly compare to other ADU's?

I am a former service Marine in the Marine Air Wings.As a beginner in both jobs, I was taught how to do things with the most basic tools.

BP, How much damage/flooding happened in Mariner area in Cape Coral? 

What I can tell you is that in less than a year, a lot that used to cost between $10-$14k on a freshwater canal in NW and NE Cape Coral (clean lot - no protected species, not in a flood zone, no trees, flat, away from busy road, etc.) now sells for ~$40k.
