Garrett Tjoe ADUs and utilities question East Bay California
11 June 2024 | 12 replies
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.

David D. Using a predictive model to find undervalued properties.

The underlying architecture of these models makes them best for chatbots & translators (matching word meanings/uses across various languages and translating based on positional/usage probability).I understand in 10 years there might be an Ai that can do this, but right now, these tools are useless for achieving anything of substantial complexity (meaning anything from medium-large coding projects to properly valuing a home, or even calculating the proper $/sf avg in a zipcode), so I don't understand why you repeatedly advocate for their efficacy in this REI space?

I wholesale here in South Florida MLS deals and Off market deals - I m just humbling saying that at my opinion it all starts with motivation and knowing your Buyers - MLS deal I focus on more on the properties and areas where I know my buyers like the most to fix/flip or fix/rent - kinda of reverse wholesaling and then I look for those kind of MLS deals and I work with the Agents - if the seller is motivated and I know my Buyers are ready I present offers that makes sense - for sure not $ 1,000 EMD with 15 days inspections - we need to talk the Agent's language -this works well for meon the other note I come sometimes across Off market deals where Seller are not so motivated or totally unrealistic and their asking price is not making sense - so at the end of the day what I want to say that a good deals is a good deal - no matter MLS or Off market -  for me it is all about motivation and having a solid buyer's listI totally see where you are coming from, but this is factually wrong (i.e. not opinion, fact).So first, I don't think you understand the concept of a motivated seller.You say that you come across off-market deals where the seller is not motivated.
