Renovations would cost around $30,000 but the only things I've done are Plumbing, foundation work, gas line, and new windows.

There was an additional cost of 3k that we didn't expect because we didn't walk the attic, but that's to be expected for a sight unseen offer.

All of this has cost me about $10,000.

When people refer to the Federal Reserve “setting rates,” they mean the effective federal funds rate or the rate at which banks charge other institutions on an overnight basis.

In general ADUs add less value than their cost.  

@Dennis O'Loughlinwhen you BRRRR, typically the improvements you make will go into the cost basis of the property. 

Insurance company now refuses to share their part of the cost.

I self financed it until I had to take on some loans due to delays and cost overruns (ever heard of such a thing???).

Hi Tim,There are several effective strategies and resources you can use to stay informed about future development planning in your area, without solely relying on attending city council meetings:City Planning Websites: Most cities have planning department websites where they publish upcoming development projects, zoning changes, and long-term planning documents.

HMM never heard of that regarding criminals  https://calcivilrights.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/32/20...Using CA as an example:- not allowed to place a blanket ban based on criminal record- are not allowed to access certain forms of criminal records (arrests, post-trial diversions, sealed expunged records)- you are technically allowed to access conviction data and use it, but your interpretation of that data must comport perfectly with how CA wants you to interpret it (must have direct bearing, must have been recent enough etc)- even if you follow all of this perfectly, accessing the criminal records must not "have a discriminatory effect" so if certain special people are impacted you are still looking at liability.As a result of this legal minefield many just decide to forget looking at criminal or to find some other criteria.
