I called the Montgomery County Licensing and Registration office with my questions and they told me to just "look online" for the regulations, so here is what I found:Class 3 ADU Requirements (last updated 3/4/2020 after the new ADU law in MoCo passed)2020 MoCo Housing Code Enforcement GuideIn the Housing Code Enforcement Guide, it states room length and width requirements for "minimum dwelling standards" and "habitable space."

Correct on the max fee for a notary (VA is $5 with travel fees negotiated), but a virtual notary can charge up to $25 (plus negotiated travel expenses (not sure why you'd travel for a virtual notary)).I guess from a big picture perspective, I do plan on buying in the area and if I have to travel back to VA for whatever reason then I have a side gig I can do to lessen the travel costs.

We already have a travel card for our other business so I'm thinking a cash back card as well since the categories we purchase from don't usually line up with rewards cards.

During demo of the old plaster walls and ceilings, the contractor neglected to put up any plastic to protect the dust from travelling to other parts of the house.Luckily that was day 1 of the project and we were able to correct the issue and realign our expectations.

More funds in the system, more habitable affordable properties = a fundamentally better economy.

@Jake Harris Yea, to comment on your post. we stayed using airbnb over the weekend. and the best part is that there was somebody that rent my house over the weekend in Houston so the cost of travel kinda even out :d

Interest never sleeps nor sickens nor dies; it never goes to the hospital; it works on Sundays and holidays; it never takes a vacation; it never visits nor travels; it takes no pleasure; it is never laid off work nor discharged from employment; it never works on reduced hours; it never has short crops nor droughts; it never pays taxes; it doesn’t need to buy food; or clothes; it is without the need for housing & so has no repairs, no replacements, no shingling, plumbing, painting, or whitewashing; it has neither wife, children, father, mother, nor kinfolk to watch over and care for; it has no expense of living; it has neither weddings nor births nor deaths; it has no love, no sympathy; it is as hard and soulless as a granite cliff.Once in debt, interest is your companion every minute of the day and night; you cannot shun it or slip away from it; you cannot dismiss it; it yields neither to entreaties, demands, or orders; and whenever you get in its way or cross its course or fail to meet its demands, it crushes you.Reuben J.

We travel too much for work to focus on flipping some to get the cash for others, but feel that is a great option when we settle down more.  

Probably one of oddest hobbies...I play computer games semi-professionally...never too much money in it but used to travel around the country a ton.
