We would NOT need to order a 1007 market rent report if we had either:1st months rent and security deposit2 months of rent deposits (canceled checks)If it’s a departing residence we could only use rental income to offset monthly payment (we couldn’t use extra income if 75% of the lease was 3,000 and mortgage was only $2,500 I couldn’t give $500 of income to boost DTI unless he has moved out of the home for some time and we have 1 year of history of being a landlord (which it sounds like we do, just not sure if he’s just moving out of this home).

The planning department says that once ADUs are installed, none of the units on the property can be rented for less than 30 days.

Many things go wrong in construction, some of which are unavoidable, how the contractor handles those issues is paramount and speaks volumes to their abilities (or lack there of in the cases above).There are no short cuts to construction or dealing with the building and safety/planning departments in cities, they are slower than turtles in almost all cases.

I encourage all others who have been swindled or have had similar experiences to share them too and to submit complaints to the Better Business Bureau, Department of Consumer Affairs, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, State Board of Accountancy, Federal Trade Commission, Police Department’s Financial Crime Unit, and the District Attorney.For the potential franchisee owners who are considering this as a business, I would run the other way!

Their commercial loan department is excellent to work with and they are willing to help you with all your financing needs!

I'd definitely recommend visiting the city's planning and code department.

. - Usually your states Department of Public Health will have the requirements.

Reach out to your local land use planning and/or zoning department.

That's far from a definitive answer because its an owner occupant and a single family, but I would imagine if you e-mail the house/building department they should be able to give you a firm answer.  

The fire department may be able to force the door to be removed.
