We bought into that fad in the beginning as well, but it's a strategy that doesn't work in a flat or recessive market.

The cliff notes for leasing the land to dweller are 1) they need a large enough flat space to put the unit with proper setbacks (about 26x45 I believe... typically in our area that requires a 5,000 square foot lot), 2) dweller will pay for the install including permitting and bringing in utilities but the owner has to remove any landscaping etc to prepare the site, 3) dweller has a land lease with the property owner that allows them to rent out the ADU (of which the property owner gets 30 percent of the monthly income (gross I believe)).

The first sign of conflict and they are ready to offer cash for keys or bake the guy a pan of fresh chocolate chip cookies .

Hi Jay, I'd be happy to help set up an LLC and write the deeds for a flat fee.

We don't have brokers involved.I've heard it's possible to bring in a single broker at this point to act as a "paper pusher" for a small fee, perhaps 1%.I've also heard that it's must cheaper to hire an RE lawyer to handle the transaction for a flat fee.What experiences have you had? 

Reeder Asset Management is a very involved company in the investor associations.The guys at Rhino Property Management are good people as well and they charge a flat fee per door not a percentage.

IE- I charge a flat rent to him.

For example - let's saying your company is paying you $100,000/year in salary, they may offer you $50/hr saying it comes to $100k (50 weeks x 40 hours) but as you can see that's a raw deal because your loaded cost of health, vision, dental benefits are not baked in, neither is your 401k.

Downstairs we will replace floor with vinyl planks if its flat enough. 

I am looking for current market prices per square foot of footprint (ie. 1500 square foot house @ 1.50sf = $2250.00) for the following:-2-tone paint (1 flat color on walls and ceilings and painted semi gloss trim)-Exterior trim/soffit painting-medium grade tile flooring-medium grade carpet-medium grade laminateI know, I know, "market price and medium grade is subject to the contractor" but there are standard rates.
