I’ve been burned by a bad inspector that didn’t open the electrical panel, flush toilets or test the HVAC.

My lender said that I may not be able to qualify for traditional conventional financing moving forward because of this and the 75% of rent test requirement for rental properties.

@Joe HuberCo-star data isn't perfect, and all datasets are subject to outlier effects, so I wouldn't put too much stock in the actual 15-25% number as much as the directionality.

You wouldn't just hand a wad of cash to a guy to go down to the car dealer and pick you out a car; you'd visit the dealership, hopefully test drive the car, look up the values in Kelly Blue book, maybe let your mechanic look it over, make sure they gave you a valid title without liens, etc.

I know that Privy is planning on adding an analytics tool for STR based on Airdna data, but we'll see how robust that is.

I've a firm believer that email is not a data repository nor a task manager.

We could have waited and purchased something at a better price, but the 2021 Q1 housing boom tested us with 8 declined offers. 2) You'll spend more on a purchase for yourself than you would on an investment.

There is simply far too much variability person to person and you may end up with a local PM who is really good at what they do OR one that is really connected OR one that pays people to refer you to them . . . and there's really no good way to tell until you've gone a few rounds with them.Best case scenario:  have two homes in the same market and test them, one under each PM paradigm, and see how you like the operations and returns after 3-4 years.

It's easy to search on Redfin/Zillow with the keyword "ADU" now.I found some recent transactions data (almost all from second quarter of 2021) in the bay area that might be of interest to you: https://www.redfin.com/CA/Camp...https://www.redfin.com/CA/San-...https://www.redfin.com/CA/Sant...https://www.redfin.com/CA/Sunn...https://www.redfin.com/CA/Sant...https://www.redfin.com/CA/San-...You can see that in all of these cases (whether with detached or attached ADUs), ADU added more value than the estimated construction cost, which shows that building an ADU can be a proven strategy for bay area home owners to not only improve cash flow, but also immediately add equity value.
