The money you invest needs to be money that you don't need back for at least five years, and to put it bluntly, you can afford to lose it all in the (hopefully unlikely) event that the investment fails. 

I just don;t have the energy to pursue litigation.

And there are still deals here that cashflow and have appreciation potential at affordable price points. 

I get it starting out but there comes a time if you can afford it and it works free and clear is just a great place to be ..

Would you forecast that there will be some big discounts on these in a few years as people realize that they cant afford to hold onto themthank you!

Some are basically affordable housing and some are vacation type rentals.

I worked nonstop for 7-8 years building up my business but now the money has afforded me the lifestyle and freedom that is absolutely worth it.

Isn't it unlikely that a homeowner who cant afford a 2-3k tax bill would even challenge this legally?

@Kash Tacke I'm a big fan of ADU's in general especially here in the mid west, yes you could potentially be on the front of the wave, but housing density is the solution to the affordability issue, anytime you are investing with affordability in mind is a great strategy to me, and sound like there are some incentives or at least supporting winds form the local city, that in itself seems like it would be worth at least approaching an architect or contractor to bid up some plans or concepts to take tot he city.  

Hyattsville and surrounding areas are more affordable than other parts of the metro.
