This amounts to lost opportunity because if you had purchased RE, at the closing it can start producing return.5) ADUs detract from the existing structure whether this is privacy, a garage, or just yard space. 6) this is related to the value added by the ADU, but there are many more buyers looking to purchase homes for their family than there are RE investors looking to purchase small unit count properties.

.- Increased Marketability: A larger, single lot may appeal to buyers looking for more space and privacy.- Potential for Higher Value: Combining the lots could increase the overall value due to the larger size and unified waterfront access.Cons of Combining Lots:- Limiting Buyer Pool: Some buyers may be interested in smaller, less expensive parcels.- Zoning and Regulation Challenges: Combining lots could complicate zoning and what can be built on the property.- Costs and Legalities: There may be costs and legal procedures involved in combining the lots officially with the county.I'm leaning towards combining them for the simplicity and the unique appeal it could offer to a certain market segment.

Let's break it down:Sole ownership-Keeping the property in your name is the easiest way, but it means if something goes wrong, your personal stuff could be at risk.Land Trust-A land trust can hide that you're the owner, giving you some privacy and maybe less trouble if certain issues pop up.

I would prefer two routers for privacy purposes. 

Depending on which state you have created an LLC and which state is your property in, you may have no privacy in your identity or may have complete privacy. 

She wants to have a place already mainly for privacy, and I have been looking into a multifamily (4plex).

The Land Trust agreement in most states is a private document, and the Deed to the Trust via the Trustee would actually be the only public record.But for anonymity and privacy - Land Trusts can help.  

This project is essentially a complete gut that will include addition of roughly 700 SQF, new roof, siding, landscaping, privacy fence, hardwood flooring installation, interior re-design into an open concept floor plan, upgraded kitchen with granite counters, new cabinets, stainless steel appliances, etc.

My wife and I framed out this wall to completely separate the units for our privacy as we are living in this unit.  

@Presh DineshkumarMost of the Plus and Pro membership "perks" are very U.S.A. focussed - even the on-line calculators - and have less practical value to Canadians ... even those unfortunate enough to be stuck in the GTA ;-)Some Plus/Pro features .. such as the search members by zip or postal code now work (sort of) for Canadians (polite nagging can pay off ).If you are a flipper, or offer a real estate related service (architect, trade, etc), then the ability to post advertisements to the Real Estate Marketplace is a benefit.I upgraded to a Pro membership early on to support the site and its growth as I found it to be a credible venue for exchanging knowledge and making contacts with respect to real estate.
