Aloha,Over the years I have worked with a pretty wide variety of Owners, large and small.

The gun disarms are the same from multiple angles etc.Just make sure your daughter understands this will be no holds barred in many cases.

And house-hacking is the quickest way to build wealth in real estate from scratch.At the risk of sounding like an agent angling for your business, I would offer a word of caution using your friend, unless he or she really knows the nuances of what you're looking to do. 

I wish I had better news for you, but it is a wide spread problem from my experience.  

For example every week I see listings with bedrooms less than 7' wide.

I've searched far and wide for cash flow positive multis in hoboken and JC, and have yet to find a cash flowing property (my goal wasn't to cashflow but to net my monthlies as close to 0 as possible).

. - I am all for a city-wide Chicago ADU ordinance. 

I found the renovations costs to vary widely and a couple of contractors said it costs X amount of dollars with no line item estimates (red flag there).

Not hairline crack but a continuous crack probably about 7-8 feet long and wide enough to put a credit card into the crack. 

You are probably planning to do this already, but make sure you look at your prospective property from a lot of angles in your underwriting.
