Also- you can redeem the ground rent, which means you can buy back the land for a small fee at closing.

I would not go to ADU route since backyard is very important in bay area - land is valuable, garage too. 

As matter of practice, how much notice do landlords in the BP community give their tenants of a rent increase?

I’m not new to Zillow, I’ve sold many properties there FSBO but this is a new one: Buyer appears to be a land speculator, I docu-signed a contract to sell a vacant lot and thought nothing about them asking for a 14-day termination option.

Landlord insurance or personal home insurance?

You've landed in the perfect spot to kickstart your networking and learning journey.

If you can find a vacant lot the bank includes the land cost into the loan so you save money in the long run. 

always 20% or greater. we do it with our profit in columbus OH. it's all about the land, density, and floorplan size. get someone who has more experience in design and agency and development. development has been doing this for years and years so just stick to what works. compact, three story walk up style is what we build for investors and ourselves. 

We are selling some property on Land contract and I would like to use a loan servicing company to collect the monthly payment, and setup escrow for taxes/insurance.

I have an option to purchase an MR1 lot in a great location in LA but I'm skeptical regarding uses for this kind of land.
