Creating a life by design and not by default requires resilience and ingenuity. 

About 2200sq ft is the design I have in mind.

I guess we now just need to figure out how to draft the documents for this arrangement.I also assume that we could somehow designate any maintenance/repairs issues that would typically fall on a landlord to be responsible for would be deducted from the escrow account? 

It is designed more for a high credit score delinquent borrower with negative equity not a defaulted borrower.  

Soft Cost = Architectural Design Fee, Permit Fee, Holding Cost...Hard Cost = Grading, Concrete, Rough Carpentry...and if you don't know what to account for, simply ask.this website is great in helping people find answers.Cheers.

P.S:You will want to discuss your plans for development with a architect/designer, and structural engineer, again in person.

The first thing you need is to find a good architect who is an expert in designing multi use building and understand the development process.

I have a degree in interior design and have a small portfolio (including remodels), I've gone through a 10 week wholesale coaching program, reading real estate investing books, and listening to BP podcasts, so I'm not entirely naive.

Then they throw a character piece eg drop down designed lamp over the island.    

These scams are designed to target STUPID people.
