I view it as instant leverage.  

In our experience, things move in ebbs and flows and the speed of rental depends on your asking rents relative to competition.For example, there was a period of several months at one of our properties when a 3 or 4 BR unit came on the market it rented almost instantly.

Quote from @Zachary Kessler: Hello all I’m currently hacking my house that has an ADU dwelling that generates income, I bought this property intending to leave and rent the house that I currently reside in (2 bed 1 bath) I currently have a very good interest rate locked in here from 2022 that I don’t want to lose or have my mortgage called due from leaving here, I live here for very cheap with the income from the ADU.

They force you to take instant bookings without any ability to screen guests.

I was going through the rent control laws ( I know, should have done that before purchasing the property ), and a section stands out. https://ecode360.com/30526708#42037155Based on what I can read, the rent control chapter doesn't apply to: Dwellings of three and four units, at least one of which is occupied by one or more of the owners thereof.My understanding is that rent control doesn't apply to owner-occupied multi-units.
