Apex and other outer smaller suburbs tend to be more ADU friendly.

The market tends to be 3% for buyers agent that is paid for by the seller in my area.

People who are involved in anything tend to have an overinflated sense of self, ego and importance.

If you decide to pursue this option be sure to EXPLICITLY spell out how the maintenance of the buildings will be handled as these types of facilities tend to be hard on property from my experience.
