The SFR + ADU is worth less than a Duplex because the ADU is viewed as an amenity rather than an additional unit so your appraisal will look for other SFRs with ADUs and provide line item adjustments for homes with and without ADUs much like having or not having a pool or a garage.

Before I purchase an insurance policy I wanted to seek some guidance on the best way to proceed.I received 1 quote so far for a HO3 policy that has 600k+ of dwelling coverage, 70k of additional structure, 450k personal property, 200k loss of use, 500k liability, and a few extras like equipment breakdown, water backup, service line.

We lived in the property for two years while we slowly renovated interior, landscaping, as well as resurfacing the pool, and added privacy with a new fence.

Airtags are devices developed by apple to track things like keys or bags, I use this to airtag items most susceptible to theft like hot water tanks or furnaces and provide this data to the police to track the perpetrators.2.
