Anywhere from $500 - $2500+ depending on the insert you install and whether you run the vent and exhaust up the old flu or cap the flu and vent/exhaust through the side of the house/chimney.If you hire out the entire job, expect to be in the $1K - $1200 range.

Have you had larger Cap Ex projects that you didn't anticipate?

Bank will use cross collateralization from other property for no downpayment.Using a cap rate of 8% since this will be primarily cargo containers.  

That's a common phrase.Real estate investors can get more bang for their buck from their PMs when these folks "think like an investor."

Great cap rates and cash flow!

WE did this for go zone tax bene's  which worked well in those years.but the issue comes that keeping nice bigger new homes in great shape just cost more than little rental dingers.. and in fact as i sold them off I had to do 10 to 20k of cap ex on each one to get full market price.. 

To avoid the risk management/insurance that comes with tenants' wood fire use:I'm thinking to seal the chimney cap on roof and run a cord putting an electric Infrared heater fireplace in there, so they can still open the glass and get heat and watch TV over the mantle, but can't burn anything or have any flame.

Although we do have deals on the lending side that dont work but we are not forced into a position to take big loss's like we were when the banks were calling our loans.. this will happen in the DSCR world as all these folks are using same type of debt IE debt that can be called based on the terms of the debt or like you have seen with the syndicators that are talked about on BP max leverage bad debt things dont go right And you have cap calls or projects totally lost. 

That kind of restriction just doesn’t work for someone like me.I’m trying to figure out if I might be missing something in how I’m approaching this or if others have insights or examples of towns that not only allow STRs but also have laws that offer enough flexibility to operate in the way I’m aiming for.Many towns technically permit STRs but impose restrictive rules like membership requirements, ownership duration limits, or rental day caps, making operations challenging.

The ADU I am thinking of adding is on a triplex property and my understanding on the valuation of these types of properties is cap rates (4-5% depending on the neighborhood in LA) and thus adding more income to the property increases the value of the property assuming the cap rates hold Triplexes and quads are not appraised on cap rates if using conventional financing.
