I would have to get with the property manager and mimic the exact plans they have set up in the lease, all of which were probably customized by the PM to get a few extra dollars.  

It sounds like you're really ready to dedicate time and energy into educating yourself about possible investments and I love that.

Use your energy on something more meaningful.

Expect a custom ADU to take 9–18 months, with 3–6 months for design and permitting and 6–12 months for construction, depending on complexity and contractor availability, and the speed of processing permits.

I will assume positive intent here that this is not the experience you intend for your customers.

It’s humiliating to call customer service who has no idea what is going on and can’t quite transfer you to property manager.

But it takes time and energy from internally motivated people who take responsiblity.

Quote from @Anade Davis: I was not looking to say anything negative but the energy is off.

Private lenders often offer more creative solutions, like interest-only payments or custom timelines, which can be a game-changer if you’re working on a unique project.

Whether we’re flipping a house, helping a client find their perfect home, or designing a custom renovation, everything we do adds value—and that’s the ultimate goal.
