A good listing will provide you with an income statement as well to show the profit of the building but take that with a grain of salt as well.

@Sateesh Kumar - I'm a passive investor, not a CPA, so take with a grain of salt.

I don't know about your local Austin market but I have done this in Salt Lake City and here they are very ADU friendly.

The tenant swore there was mold so we came out and found no visible mold however we did treat the surface areas with a spray product sold at Home Depot called "Concrobium" then we followed it up with treating the walls with Hydrogen peroxide. of course this was to ensure that the tenant could not say we were unresponsive which is also why we made a video while on site showing no mold.It was a relatively cheap way of responding and in the end the tenant later confessed that she simply needed to break her lease.

The one I had had spray foam insulation encapsulating the entire inside.

Of course sometimes I have to take a little of it with a grain of salt because I also know that depending on what we are talking about he also stands to make money from the deals so if it’s something big I know sometimes he also deep down wants to make the sale too.

If you havent found anybody yet we are a small design/build firm called Salt+Light Builders, we provide both architecture and construction services.

Take people's recommendations with a grain of salt as they are likely speaking about themselves and maybe they just don't put the work in or spent years on Youtube University...think of the ROI in that. 

So take this all with a grain of salt on build quality. 

Then the tax deductions are better as in SALT deductions?
