@Kat He Anything is possible im appraisals is what ive learned over the years working at my appraisal firm. the appraiser can treat it as an amenity but it would likely be very hard to find comps or he could treat it as an extra bedroom/den/office and do a single line adjustment for the functional obsolescence of it being outside of your actual unit.

He is going to be working for a commercial brokerage firm.

A lot of firms are able to provide quick low cost consultations to help people understand what they could do with their sites (this is similar to a feasibility study for a commercial project).

@Seyi A.A mainstream Wall St. firm cannot assist you with a ROBS. 

My day job is a computer engineer for a large Consulting Firm.

I like the way this law firm phrased it in this blog post: https://www.kts-law.com/security-deposit-law-for-california-residential-landlords/, which is "the landlord must inspect the premises during the final two weeks of the tenant's occupancy." 

i seem to be struggling with the documentation when buying something im not sure of but i get multiple definitions that are leading me to think that these idea's only exist in the mind but somehow exist on paper contracts im confused some of the words are mortgage, mortgage bond, bond fund, names related to a bond in finance, i want to better learn the paperwork that is involved in financing a real estate transaction which is why i am pursuing a job as a mortgage underwriter but i wonder if i will be taking finra series # related exams that and nmls related testing for liscensure reasons before recieving sponsership to work at a BBB accredited brokerage firm or a mortgage bank related company

I searched on BP for you and came across https://www.biggerpockets.com/users/ChrisT1His firm is dedicated to Real Estate so he may be able to help

@Russell BrazilI am firmly in the “less regulation is better” camp, the issue is more of changing the rules in the middle of the game.
