Does anyone have a similar experience of living in the heart of a city but choosing to mostly invest in the urban sprawl outside?

Originally I wanted to do painted concrete, but that would leave the perimeter sticking up.

For example, in AZ, SRP offers "net metering" as well as super low pricing if you are on the "customer generation plan", therefore if the system is dialed in to eliminate all on-peak usage using battery, the saving is huge comparing to choosing a different SRP plan or choosing a different system set up (such as solar panel only). 

If choosing to sell the DADU, did you split the lot or is this wrapped into condo-izing the home and DADU? 

I went through demos of all of those, pulled together our evaluation criteria, etc. and then ended up choosing Hospitable (which we've been thrilled with).Thanks, that makes much more sense and frankly, is a relief (I started wondering if I was missing something, lol.) 

Can you change the kitchen hardware, door handles, paint and floors to get top rents. 

If you choose to sell, consider post-retirement timing, installment sales, or a 1031 exchange to mitigate taxes.

Choose that one and use it.

You may have to do month-to-month leases.Regarding the basement, most cities really don't care if the homeowner chooses to live in the basement.

If only someone had written a book to help people like you.I prefer you spend some time educating yourself before jumping in, but that depends on how bad the PM is and how quickly you can educate yourself and take control.If you choose to terminate, read your PM Agreement carefully to see if there are any termination penalties.
