From my experience: SMS has the best conversion but is the most regulated, so it depends on the rules in your market. 

They are using rules to add multiple ADUs.Here is a list of why adding a single ADU in dingle family  zoned areas in my CA market is typically a poor RE investment:1) The value added by the ADU addition is often significantly less than the cost of adding the ADU.

Rules are super landlord-friendly and we see positive cash flowing deals with lots of potential for appreciation.

And you create a situation where you are totally dependent.For most people in the US OOS investing does not make sense, the economic delta is not large enough to justify the additnal cost and management burden. 

You’ll want to get really familiar with local zoning laws, short-term rental rules, and landlord-tenant laws as they vary by town if you plan on going the STR route.Focus on Cash Flow Early On: You might be tempted to go for something that appreciates quickly, but in the early stages, it’s important to find properties that bring in cash flow.

With the new commission rules you can stay flexible with an offer of buyer agent commission, rather than having to commit to a certain percentage going to the buyer agent upfront. 

A friend of mine in San Antonio had a similar situation.. she inherited a vague commercial lease and learned that the rules differ big-tiime from residential.

  #1 rule is not to trust them, but they still have value. 

Self sufficiency rule makes 3-4 units almost impossible.
