You really want to make sure that the land you are buying doesn't have any major constraints that can't be overcome, or even if they can be remediated, at what cost, i.e. environmental, soils/geotechnical, adequate access, zoning, etc. 

I can't access a lot of the space because it's so packed.What if she gets mice?

If often more that they are abandanoning the property to the government because there is some type of constraint, i.e. there is a street light oddly placed in the middle front part of the parcel, there is a creek or wash (which means environmental permits would be needed), there is lack of true legal access, zoning problems, etc. 

Here is text taken from the HOUSABLE website for Oakland:Utility ConnectionsCategory One: No new or separate utility connection shall be required.Category Two: A new or separate utility connection may be required, but the connection fee or capacity charge shall be proportionate to the burden of ADU on the water or sewer system.Here are definitions of the ADU categories from the City of Oakland website:CATEGORY ONE ADU: Involves either conversion of space within an existing Single-Family Dwelling, or conversion or rebuild of an existing accessory structure; includes no expansion of the existing building envelope other than up to 150 sq. ft. for purposes of accommodating ADU access and egress only.CATEGORY TWO ADU: Involves construction of a new detached or attached structure, including an exterior addition to an existing structure to accommodate the ADU, in conjunction with a proposed or existing Single-Family dwelling.It seems that Oakland is making things confusing with the language they are using, but I still believe that my original interpretation is correct based on the State Assembly Bill.

The quick access to capital is obviously huge for winning deals on terms, closing quickly.

Let's say you turn over a unit and it takes a month to fill it by the time you advertise it, screen the tenant, and get them moved in.
