Lastly, ADUs are allowed for NON owner occupied properties, opening this strategy up for investors who could convert a SF into two units. 

Look for adding square footage to property maybe converting an attached garage to living space, or adding a bathroom or bedroom to the units to fetch higher rents. 

It may pencil out if you're building an extra unit, but just a single bedroom is not going to work.

I am a big fan of sophisticated value adds such as lot splits, coop/tic, leverage laws for multiple unit additions.  

I may just add parking for the front two units. 

You are buying into a business to pass down to future generations, not to mention a vacation home or retirement plan.When I talk about my investments I don’t talk about a 4 unit ugly building in (insert boring/cheap state in the US).I talk about Europe!

Learned about his children, learned about the 60 units of apartments he owns and how he manages to keep the expenses low.

I own a 4plex there and I have one unit that has been vacant for about 4 months now and this seems on the high side of vacancy time.

If you are talking about 2-4 units, then it's really no different in my opinion.
