I somewhat understand why the cities are trying to regular airbnb's out completely. 

The course was a complete scam.

Hi thereAccording to IRS guidelines, once a property is ready and available for rent, meaning after you completed the renovations. you would  be able to deduct expenses. snce this was your main home,  the tax accountant you will use will need to do a conversion from personal residence to a rental for depreciation purposes. the improvement you made, depending on what they are, may be added to your basishope this helps

It can take a year or more to complete an ADU.

I insist that you complete the Task you were hired for with NO further compensation and I've also written a formal complaint to the "Board of Bar Overseers" over this matter!

Proximity to mass transit (mentioned by another poster re following them), proximity to downtown (maybe not so much now with work-from-home being a thing), proximity to airports, highways, pollution-belching industrial plants, hospitals, universities, the lake, etc., all help to define which South side neighborhoods have what it takes to overcome market inefficiencies and become "up and coming."

A lot of people go in expecting these programs to completely change their lives. 

It was supposed to be dealt with in December, but I can't find anything online to it being completed?! 

Please also post the map when you complete it!

I've been buried with tax preparation and a couple projects, so BP moved from the back burner to completely off the stove!
