I'm still new at this and I own the houses in the name of my trust, I haven't set up any sort of business entity for them yet.

I can continue paying the seller equity over time, we just create a note/agreement between us (seller/buyer).

Had heard from someone at PG&E that a separate meter would be required due to a separate address, however our city in the East Bay said they had not heard of this and were adamant that PG&E could not require it or would even be involved in the ADU beyond the main panel upgrade and solar installation.The state law referenced in the original post, AB 68 by Phil Ting, makes it very clear that a utility cannot require a separate meter, unless the ADU is being built with a new single-family home, or the ADU is to be located more than 150 feet from the primary house.

Through my giving to the church, God blessed me with this amazing steal of a house.

I was quoted for a secondary house mortgage (vacation house), and it was not a DSCR loan. there was no pre-payment penalties. sorry about that!! 

We have been flipping houses mainly and started 1 1/2 years ago.We are up to house #15I recently bought our first multifamily -  3 family in West New York, NJ at a Sheriff forclosure auction.  

3) Do you own your own home, or can you 'house hack' if necessary?

The park will serve as housing for the surrounding chemical plants, and we are confident that it will be successful since there is very little short term housing on that side of the Mississippi River.

@Jose Almonte  In the multiple states, where we have rental houses, the tenants pay for all utilities, shovel the snow, mow the lawns, and take care of minor maintenace.
