By all means let me know if you have questions and I'll answer them with the best of my abilities.

If STNL and tenants pay the taxes it can still affect their ability to operate the business and be profitable with all in costs.For MTNL the CAM above base rents lots of single operator to mulit unit inline retail tenants cannot absorb high property taxes that pushes their all in rent with cam too high to stay open.

As your business could be a brand in future (never underestimate a small business), you just require a few branding elements to work on.

Quite a bill for a unit that rents for $700 a month.I can end the month to month lease and insist the tenant pay the cleanup bill, but they will likely just skip town and I'll never see them again.

When cities and towns can't make ends meet, they have two choices (like any business): increase revenue or reduce expenses.In most cases the ability to reduce expenses is minimal at this point, and the far easier choice is to simply increase taxes.

While many elements can contribute to the scale of a residential structure, designs should minimize the appearance of over or excessive building substantially in excess of existing structures in the neighborhood.

I was in the correct position and had ability and mindset to capitalize on the opportunities that came my way. 

Hence, my excitement about the ability to legally create more via ADUs.

I agree the lack of ability to enforce a lease is a bad thing, but there will be continuing issues of tenants not being able to keep up with rent due to under/unemployment.

From my studies need 4 elements, Parties competent, able to contract, has to be for a legal purpose, consideration not necessary money( some say as little as a dollar for earnest money, don't know if that would hold up in court, and offer and acceptance.
