I have a heat pump mini split in my ADU in Dallas, works great. 

I view it as a mini course.I also just finished the “Best Ever Apartment Syndication Book” third editon by Joe Fairless and Theo Hicks.

We used a mini-ex to dig a trench around the perimeter of the slab so we could pour continuous footings.

We personally would like to buy a mini farm with land in a private area yet be fairly close to stores.

i would avoid mini split based on what you are sharing. 

I suspect even at the price point of about 1.2 million for both homes the back unit could bring in close to all the mortgage payment the owner occ on the front house lives for almost free. but has a completly seperate house that is the STR.. not renting a room out.. in the home they live in ..anyone have experince with this or have they seen these new rules allowing STR as long as the home is owner occ.. kind of more like mini B and B..

Ken Min I don't see it here.

Well, the 4" mini roller worked nice, but whenever I used a brush it looked ghetto as he!!  

But Tejon Ranch is an especially egregious place to put a brand-new mini-city.
