Curious if anyone has any recommendations on best places to buy and how much i should aim to save. 

What would you all recommend?

I wouldn't recommend investing in them unless you're a specialist, especially if you're out of state. 

Any recommendations?

Every system you try will have flaws, or you may salivate over a feature that appears in other software.Some familiar names are mentioned frequently: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend conducting thorough research on each app online to understand their offerings, pricing, etc.

You might get a few recommendations that are in your market doing it that way.Hope some of that helps.

I would recommend staying in Findlay, Ohio for a while as your cost of entry is going to be much lower and you are local to the area.

Andrew@Andrew Key I would recommend reaching out to Derek the ADU guy to help with this situation.

I will make my California friends aware of this ballot initiative and to recommend a No vote.

I recommend using a boilerplate lease agreement, then adding attaching an addendum with a list of rules particular to your shared living space.
