Quote from @Carl Rowles: Aside from the stigma of them, it seems like they’d be a decent entry point for new home owners, given the housing market the way it is.  

There's literally only the one property in my market currently where I see a decent cash flow so I think I need to consider buying it sooner than later.

Does this seem like a decent deal for long term?

The insurance company says it’s too much of a fire hazard.

Plumbing company says its the only way to resolve the issue I have.

The paralegal was good at interfacing with title and trustee companies.

In the real world, most companies with stock prices that drop down that low are more likely to go completely bust, and whatever you invested will just be lost.Regardless of the game's weaknesses, I think overall it was valuable learning experience.

Given there is a decent fee, I’m also considering the option of not getting the ADU permitted and just rent it as is for “roommates”.

I wasn't sure how much to expect from the title company in resolving this.

Except I'm a lot older now, and have a decent amount of cash with a blank slate.
