HI Natalia, we specialize in STR investment homes.

Here is the specific language from Assembly Bill No. 68:a local agency, special district, or water corporation shall not require the applicant to install a new or separate utility connection directly between the accessory dwelling unit and the utility or impose a related connection fee or capacity charge, unless the accessory dwelling unit was constructed with a new single-family home.If the Planning Department is telling you that you need separate utilities and you're adding an ADU to a lot with an existing SFR, refer them to the above language from AB 68.

@Jonathan Greene recently posted a fantastic "Do's and Don'ts" guide for newcomers on the Forums.I, too, am looking to join a motivated local investing group that specializes in buy & hold and multifamily, and I hope to see you at one of the local meetups soon!

Set Up a Self-Directed Account: Find a custodian or administrator who specializes in these types of accounts2.

State law says you have to let the unit sit for 60 days before you can clear it out if no one comes to claim the tenant's possessions.  

We work with the best here who specialize in helping investors find great properties.* The preceding has been my opinion only, the views are my own, and are intended for educational and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.

I am an agent who specializes in commission rebates for my clients which really helps their investment numbers, so I find myself working with many investors like yourself. 

If the tenant still has possession of the property, an eviction lawsuit must be filed by the landlord.

It's critical to understand the special legal issues that could come up in these circumstances, which is another key consideration for due diligence.

I build it like any other home there's nothing special except for some of the extras we add in for functionality. we sell our inventory though.
