@Tyler Speelman Your strategy to assist your sibling with a down payment while minimizing tax liability is creative but comes with complexities.

The next ride would take me straight to the movie complex in 20 minutes.

So I could hypothetically include a studio apartment above the garage and rent out the main house and be within the law? 

Tenant.stephen----------- Originally posted by Victor N'Guessan: I have a new tenant who recently moved in the 2nd floor apartment ( 2BR, 1BA) of a 2 unit building.

I'm currently adding all of my numbers for a 20-unit apartment building in for a test, and then I'll bring my other 90+ units.

I bought 2 multi-family apartment buildings and plan to purchase another this year. 

Back yard landscaping is usually the biggest expense at $5-6k for artificial turf and rock, but doing this sets you apart from the others.

Expect a custom ADU to take 9–18 months, with 3–6 months for design and permitting and 6–12 months for construction, depending on complexity and contractor availability, and the speed of processing permits.

I have personally purchased large apartment complexes from REITs and know how poorly some of them manage their properties. 

I know how to use the basic features of QBO, as I do my own expense tracking, but my Bookkeeper is needed for the more complex entries (Loans, capital balances, reconciliation, data entry from PM monthly statements.)I spend almost 8k per year in QBO and Bookkeeping costs (Not including my accountant or tax prep.)
