Would other amenities like washer/dryer in-unit be important for college students?

Also, if you plan on buying a washer and dryer for your unit and installing plumbing if it not there, consider spending that cash on a small coin-op laundry add-on area to the building.

Go with the manual gate, especially if you allow tenants with  pets (big seller)A few other things that I try and eliminate; washer/dryers, spas, and  old ceiling fans 

I always upgrade the washer hoses for as little as $7 on Amazon.

Thankfully, our current home is worth around $400/sqft so we would break even if we built it for that much.the casita would have fully function - full bath, washer/dryer, studio vs. 1 bedroom or loft. at around 400-500 sqft.Anyone have any experience with building an in-law unit?   

When I overtook the house just yesterday, I had found that they stole my washer and dryer and in the process tore up the vinyl flooring, not real cheap stuff, but with the backing, because I used to live there and put it down myself.

That was her last attempt at sucking the life out of me.  

And it makes sense, as many everyday items for a small scale landlord like me are above $500 (common example: the stacked washer and dryers in most of my units are above $500, but are below $2,500)...

(Yes, even if there isn't an outside hydrant, people will run a garden hose out the window... maybe to the hookup for the coin-op washer.) 

I don't know about Oregon state specific details but if it was here then small claims would be the only way to go once they have left the property.
