It would be even better if we could get it zoned to rent out the house as a 3/2 and separately rent out the ADU as a 1/1.If anyone that sees this has done something like this in Columbus, we would love to get any info on how the process went, how much did the permits and inspections cost, etc.Also, if anyone knows whether or not we could even rent out an ADU through sec-8 that would also be helpful, as we will definitely consider using sec-8 to rent out the property if it can get us higher rents.We are going to be contacting the city's zoning dept right away to verify with them that this would even be allowed at this address, and to try and get a rough estimate of how much permits etc will cost us.

Either way, if I ever do decide to go ahead and join F&G, I would be looking for someone who would want to join in with me and share the cost with F&G's BOGO offer. 

In practice, legal proceedings are very costly and time consuming (from a few months up to 2-3 years).

Hi Everyone, I am purchasing my first SFH, and I plan to live there for a year and share 2 rooms with 2 other tenants, to reduce the cost.

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

Costs to cure.

Focus on building a business model that outlines your value proposition, target market, revenue, cost structure, and key activities/timeline.

Thirty years ago, it cost me $600 in labor and parts to replace a 50-gallon hot water tank, currently $1,500 and often they only last 6 to 8 years. 

A few things to consider: are you increasing rent each year to at least try to recoup some of the additional costs (everything goes up, so why should the family member not pay more-if it is your parents, it is more complicated), how much has the condo appreciated over the last 3 years since you bought it, and what would you do with the money when you sold?

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!
