Hi everyone, I live in Los Angeles, CA.

Hi All, I am interested in renting out an ADU in my elderly parents' backyard in Los Altos.

I don't have your exact numbers because I don't know the following expenses.Trash removalWaterElectric for the house meterSewer Use FeesBusiness LicensesAnnual fire department feesAnnual County Housing Inspection FeesProperty management costs.Property insurance plus annual increaseWith today's high prices I don't think properties will appreciate more than 2% annually, or may go down.I don't know exactly what property taxes are in San Francisco, but in Los Angeles the property taxes are 1.25% of the purchase price plus property taxes increase by 1% every year.

Though the one year I rented as an adult (when I moved back to Los Angeles) our landlord told us fridges are dirty and we would have to bring our own.
