When we say that MF is better, it is talking about larger MF.

The sales contract I use CAN allow for liquidated damages over and above the deposit monies.

Uneven multis are a small unit and a larger unit.

Sometimes I ask for multiple estimates if it is a larger project or if I think the first one seems high and I approve the scope of work and they send before and after photos of the work completed. 

But you decided to wait and save more for that larger down payment...by 2015 prices were $600k and renting for $3,000, today they are $850k and renting for $4,000.Nothing beats buying a high quality asset in a high quality location as soon as possible. 

Of course, if this is a larger scale project, the cost of the lack of speed is higher.

Just like the cost per can difference between buying a six pack or a 12 pack, larger homes will get a slightly lower cost per SF than a smaller home (2500SF or 1200SF as an example).When considering ADU's, the cost also goes up as they are typically smaller units (400Sf-1200sf max) AND the fact that you also need to run direct gas line and sewer line connections to the ADU which adds additional costs (and those vary depending on the length of the run and what is in its way (hardscape or softscape).

The price point seems appropriate though I think later when I can justify the price that I would move to a larger software provider.I also did more research to what is offered in the area It seems like trash and water is pretty common so I went with trash and sewer since sewer is included in the property taxes its just easier for me to pay it and it's not that much.As far as terminating a tenancy I can do so in CA by serving a 60 day pay or quit notice since they are on month to month leases I plan on having the current landlord serve this when we enter escrow so ill essentially have just a 30-day turnover if the new tenants do not wish to agree to the new terms.

Check the tenant that will occupy liquidity and net worth.

@Mason Jeffries, I have a large real estate portfolio and recently purchased a new home in a vacation area.
