This deal is based off a real tax deed auction property in FL:1912 Sq ft 3/2 SFH in Bay County- ARV: $415,101- Estimated Monthly Rent $2,984- based off 6 comps within a 1 Mi radius.- Adjusted Purchase Price/ Max Bid: $210,840.80- I start with the 1% rule (thus why I start the analysis by looking at rent) and then adjust the price based on the potential pay-out from a cash-out refi and equity position on the property- more on this in a second. - Potential Investor payout (15%): $242,466 - Rehab total: $76,480.00- I just used $40/ sqft for an estimate.

Zillow is valuing the property at $745k (I think that is low based on the older and smaller neighboring homes on single lots).

Here is text taken from the HOUSABLE website for Oakland:Utility ConnectionsCategory One: No new or separate utility connection shall be required.Category Two: A new or separate utility connection may be required, but the connection fee or capacity charge shall be proportionate to the burden of ADU on the water or sewer system.Here are definitions of the ADU categories from the City of Oakland website:CATEGORY ONE ADU: Involves either conversion of space within an existing Single-Family Dwelling, or conversion or rebuild of an existing accessory structure; includes no expansion of the existing building envelope other than up to 150 sq. ft. for purposes of accommodating ADU access and egress only.CATEGORY TWO ADU: Involves construction of a new detached or attached structure, including an exterior addition to an existing structure to accommodate the ADU, in conjunction with a proposed or existing Single-Family dwelling.It seems that Oakland is making things confusing with the language they are using, but I still believe that my original interpretation is correct based on the State Assembly Bill. 

I am always open to advise from anyone more successful then me and would love to find a strong partner that wants to join me on this journey. 

We are thinking very long term, so in order to cover bases regarding potential deaths, wanting to pull out, or being unable to afford the investment it seemed like the best way to go.Really looking for some general advice is there is any, we feel we've googled and researched everything that will apply, but are there anymore pieces to be aware of? 

Also, for anyone based in Philly, I've heard from one contractor that quotes of 20-30k were common a few years ago, but due to recent rule changes, contractors need to maintain excavation licenses/ insurances to do any dig out work and that cost is getting passed to customers.

Hello, I am a Toronto-based investor who has properties in the downtown area, and now I am looking to make investments in Detroit.

If I could add $140K in equity, I'd just want to know how much it would cost me to do those renovations and based on the scope you've described, that should be more than about 8 weeks of work max.
