But sometimes being sued is enough of a motivation to cause someone relent a  position.

Seller not that motivated?

Him and his partner are splitting up and are needing to sell their house quickly. i already determined the level of motivation, arv, comps, potential repairs, and have yet to offer him a price yet.I pitched the idea that i can potentially close him out in cash by the end of the year and he is all for it. their original plan was to put it on market but they of course do not want to wait for the market. 

It is great to be excited when you are new, but don't be a motivated buyer.

Otherwise follow up in 6 months, when he might be more motivated.

A lot depends on your motivation to sell.

Seller was highly motivated due to a personal conflict with the tenant (knew each other prior to leasing the property to tenant).

The purpose of this section is to establish regulations governing accessory dwelling units, in compliance with California Government Code Section 65852.2, and to provide standards for the development of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) so as to increase the supply of smaller and affordable housing while ensuring that such units remain compatible with existing neighborhoods.B.

Interest rates may rise with uncertainty and we have to remember that we have very low rates now that are unlikely able to remain low.  

Multi-units are definitely a great way to go (especially in Chicago)....that is how I got started and where my focus remains today.
