We both have strong local ties and care about the town and genuinely want to do what's best for the community, and self storage appears the only thing feasible for development on the property except warehouse space.

I found Bigger Pockets through youtube and have been watching videos and listening to podcasts for the past 5 months gathering information to figure out what we want to do next.Recently we bought a home up in Napa Valley upcountry that we intended to rehab and use for a vacation rental as well as build an ADU to add another rental space or use for ourselves. 

Sale price: $455,000 This was a complete renovation with the addition of a bathroom (4/2 to 4/3) and additional space under air.

Could some one advise how would you handle a office space tenant background check results.

If there isn't a lot of space, look at an on demand unit. 

It’s a decent space, but not equipped with a full kitchen, we were limited on what we could price it at for a typical long term rental.

We are debating on renovating the basement to add additional living space for the first unit (2 bedroom and a full bath).

We looked into this for a parcel in the city of San Francisco and found that side walks are considered public spaces and the city dictates how they are cared for.

I tried to comp it but there is only retail space showing for lease.

I would price out the construction costs on both intentions and then make a decision and consider the maintenance costs of either type if you plan on keeping it long term.Its location and demand in that area should effect your decision too as well as site accessibility,  land research, the land contour plus how you might use any extra space or the current zoning allowance or the utilities that exist.
