Hard to truly translate lot lines on a 2D map when there terrain around here is nothing close to flat. 

We're looking at various SFH which have a granny flat, or ADU, or whatever they're technically called.

I flat out believe my child should never be an employee and this is a step in teaching her how. 

It would generate the same rent as a home with lower costs.But I know a home would be more valuable altogether and I could mortgage the property, pull out the equity and move onto something else.My dream would be to put a duplex there as it would most likely be accepted by the city since it's one building but I could get double the rent and a much higher property value longterm. 

I’d recommend getting a specific quote from an insurance broker for the property you are looking at so that you aren’t surprised.A 4-plex I own make a good example:  because of the combination of factors with it (age, flat roof, being a 4-plex) the insurance costs are 3x what any calculator predicts it should be (because most calculator tools use area averages based on the value of the home, instead of the actual home in all of its glory).

Living in a construction zone is one thing, doing it with kids is something else altogether.

I have a 3:12 sloped roof that abuts a nearly flat patio roof.  

This person would be paid a flat monthly fee (percentage of the PM fee) which of course will grow as the portfolio continues to grow.

A flat fee lawyer is more expensive, but provides a different service.

The owner described the land as mostly flat and partially covered with woods, but we'll see tomorrow.
