My wife and I are looking into building a duplex on it.since I am still learning on investing in real estate.

I think another factor here in determining whether its a good investment is your age and your goals. 

Their contribution depends on factors like local demand for ADUs, their design and size, and how they’re used (e.g., rental income potential).

Hey everyone,I’m a real estate investor looking to build stronger relationships with agents to access off-market deals.

Anyone that is looking at your assets is always going to need to factor in property management, so you can show that as a real expense (and really make it as high or low as you want).I work in a vertically integrated real estate and development company, and I cannot imagine how things would run if we did not have an internal property management company that essentially works for the other companies but also stands on its own.

What you paid for it and invested in its upkeep are not factors for pricing/selling a property. 

I informed the seller that because of the overlay, the property may be 2 build eligible in-spite its small lot size.

Buy at a discount given the lack of building potential and can always pass that discount along when I sell.2.

If you want good contractors out there quickly , pay their price and pay it quickly . 12 months is too long , we can build a 3000 sq ft house ground up in 3 months .
