I never want to be the first to do anything. garbage deal let it go. you are talking about council variance, constructing or renovating a structure, you won't be able to get a permit. not advice but not to by the deal and not to look at the adu as anything but garbage anyone who says any differently should look at a zoning map and show me why and how an ADU makes any financial sense. you are only getting yourself into a very poor situation. tear it down and move on. 

I believe it's arguably a tear down.

You don't know what the house was like when he moved in and it has been 13 years, so some of the things you will find are part of normal wear and tear (eg if you need to replace carpet, repaint, etc) not damage that the tenant did. 

Hello, does anyone have an example move-out form I can see for tenants to sign confirming that they have taken all their property and the place is in good condition (minus wear and tear).

Do you worry about crashing waves tearing your life apart?

I'm about to close on a lot in Chicago logan square shortly and thinking about tearing down the 2-flat for a new single family.Can anyone who has done this help point me to the right direction?

Hello Everyone,We are currently working a deal in Gulf Shores that is a little tricky. It's around 4 acres of land that could be developed into a cul de sac with ~10 SF homes.However the lot currently hosts a 5k sqft ...

My vision was this summer to rehab the home as a primary residence but now needing some creative ideas of what to do once we do a tear down.

Would like to connect with other investors in the area, as well as agents, that work on SF tear-downs (or land) for redevelopment opportunities.

On top of that the property will be a complete tear down as well.
