It won’t technically be an ADU as I can permit a full second dwelling, but it will be similar to a large guest house. 

Because cash can get spent instantly.

Try to match your house to your pool then you will see a serious revenue increase.This is what I've been dwelling on, It's just hard for me to gauge the ROI 

You all have clean and manage yourself to make any profit at all, and you'll get really tired of cleaning up after your friend for no money.Like John said just put it on VRBO and AIR and turn off the instant booking feature so everyone has to be approved by you before booking . .... 

The second house (an Accessory Dwelling Unit) is 644 square feet and includes a garage on the first level and a living space above it comprising 2 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms (with the half bathroom situated within the garage).We're in the process of determining whether the ADU can be legally rented out in Baltimore County.

Austin Texas has a 3 dwelling unit overlay that we'd be interested in focusing on plus the pricepiont is the highest in the state which is best for development. 

Section 2(a) of article XIII A of theCalifornia Constitution provides that "a two-dwelling unit shall be considered as two separatesingle-family dwellings."

Start by checking your dwelling coverage and deduct the value of the lot from the coverage amount.

But my worry is that offmarket might be the only way to find a property that is reasonably priced or to create instant equity.

You cashflow, pick up instant equity at the buy and force in equity.
