Thats only $36,250 a unit at full asking price, and if you can convert the store front to laundry for the tenants, I'd use coin op machines.

Shared laundry may be unavoidable depending on the size of the home;   if the ADU is a smaller one is probably a safe move to make laundry free but if you are considering a large (2 or 3br) ADU you might want to think about metered laundry (coin op or something) just in case you get an occupancy-limit sized household.I don't know if they would allow it for an ADU vs. a real duplex,  but the ability to add a second electric meter and breaker panel would be a good way to prevent issues with excess utility usage (you could bill back or just require tenant to get the electric service in their name) - even without that there are submetering options.

Two sides to every coin.

I’ve been on both sides of this coin.

I would even consider selling her the place if there is coin to be made.Look at it this way, if you piss her off and she moves, now you have lost a month or two of rent.

I've not seen anything to support either side of the coin, i.e. no evidence that an attorney would or would not be able to "pierce the veil".  

I think I just coined a new phrase. :-)@Dan Hooper Not all my holds emphasize the same criteria, but the portfolio tends to strike a nice balance of these goals.  

The handy man doing the rehab - he manages 28 units in Glendale - says I should be able to get an extra $100.00 per month in rent if I have a stainless steel stove, hood, and dishwasher installed instead of white.There might be some deal breakers for super high quality tenants already, like this being an apt conversion, with coin laundry machines located in the common area.

I would like to put coin laundry in the ultra clean basement to add value for potential tenants.
