I would report them to their broker and also consider a lawsuit as Realtors should not be giving advice about not doing inspections.

Besides, owning it outright makes you quite attractive to anyone looking to cash in via lawsuit.

Less chance of a tenant lawsuit. 

Scott doesn't have to be wrong about a scammer to open himself and or Bigger Pockets to a lawsuit.

I would rather keep my personal residence and "normal" rental properties separate from the messy world of tax liens and deeds.I think asset protection planning is a fascinating practice area, but is most relevant to high net worth individuals who are in lines of business that make them a target for lawsuits.  

The reality is ADUs, casitas, mother-in-law suites, etc have existed for decades, much longer than the fairly recent state level ADU laws some of which are already 5 years old.  

Unfortunately if the previous owner also fights back during this process it could be very expensive (since a quiet action title is actually a lawsuit).

As it is the most exposed of the businesses, it's the first to be blamed and called out in a lawsuit. 

Originally, I lived in the main portion of this house and rented the mother-in-law suite (primary bedroom) separately on Airbnb.
