Hey Alex,This is a great question and really depends on your timeline.If you think you're unsure to the point where you'll sit our for a while you'll probably want to put your money safer, longer-term investments.If you're thinking about jumping in soon you might want to keep that cash on hand or in assets that can easily be liquidated to be able to make the move when the time comes.You can consider some higher risk/reward investments based on your comfort but I'd recommend minimizing the percentage of your portfolio you expose to those asset classes.Best of luck!

If they are professional, they can explain this quickly and easily.

All while the 'poor' tenant moves on to wreck the next landlords house, not caring one whit about you or your house.....Even if you could charge a $2000 pet deposit (and you should), there is no recovery for your time and angst...and sometimes the damage is so severe that it is permanent.This is spoken as an animal lover but I am in business to make money, and as easily as possible, with the least damage to my properties possible.I'm not concerned with the renters comfort or security like @Lotara Smith.

I can see the lack of regulation that allows a jurisdiction to forbid ADUs on RE with a quad to duplex could easily be changed and that any RE zoned SFR to quad would be able to add an ADU unit.Good luck

Then, once you've got a home established, you could easily recycle your benefit and get another 3-5 bedroom home and do it again.
