So that's your first major hurdle.

Now my main issue is I need a fire detection system in a enclosed back porch that leads up to all three floors, but I don't know what's the minimum I would need to be compliant or that the fire marshall is suggesting what he wants or recommends.

What’s your main focus, or what are you hoping to get out of your journey here?

It's in on a Main St in an small town in NJ.

@Jill KellerI personally owned and managed several rental properties, mainly one family, 3-families and been advised by a number of attorneys through the years to forget doing LLC's.

I live in Portland  Maine , I am new to real estate investing and looking to connect with any local investor.. thank you.

Normally I would agree but if we are renting out the main house I don't want them paying for the ADU. 

Finally, the insurance provider repeated their answer, and this hurdle too was crossed.Very early in the process, we sent over leases for our rental properties.

LLC's main benefit is from a legal perspective.
