I’m not convinced that an SFH is more valuable than an SFH + *legal* inlaw, assuming same sq ft, and all else being comparable (location, quality, etc).

Lots of comments here -- all with valuable insights. 

I plan on using something like List Source to compile a list of houses in the city I'm targeting.I plan on using conventional financing to purchase this house.The information you have given is very valuable, the general gist is it doesn't matter what I put as long as I can get on the phone with them.

@Jessica VanderveenThe practice of buying an unloved property at a good price; forcing appreciation by updating the business (modernizing the property and increasing the net revenue); and refinancing the now more valuable property/business had been around a long-time before it received the BRRR acronym.You can do this in Canada just as well as in the U.S.A.  

Your time is too valuable to be doinking around with old dishwashers.

Networking is one of the most valuable tools you can have in your toolbox.

Yvonne and Lynnette, Thank you for your valuable input, I have almost 3-acre land with corner lot I am planning to add more stores so I don't want to see any issues at this time or should not be a problem for future tenants.

Since all of the data should mix together to form your final analysis, it's a valuable metric that helps one understand the market.

Local expertise is valuable.

Other parts make me feel very uncomfortable, and then I realize how valuable that is and I go back and highlight it.
