(Fortunately for you, the dual agent may also not disclose to the seller that you are willing to pay more than you have offered for the property unless you consent to this disclosure.)In some cases a dual agent who is receiving both the buyer’s and seller’s agency commission may be over-incentivized to close the deal no matter what it takes.This could create ethical (and legal) issues where an agent may be tempted to not disclose a relevant fact for fear of ruining the deal, and losing out on a large, double commission.

It's a waste of time to negotiate back and forth over something that the relevant commercial lender might not even be willing to go for. 

hello @Curtis Harvey I try and be active as much as I can here on the forums and pitch in my input on relevant topics 

You could put it in a trust, capital gains is only relevant if you come to sell it.

If you are willing to provide owner financing and the numbers are strong, price becomes less relevant.  

Have a game-plan for financing (if relevant) and start the conversation with that person before you find the property. 

Other relevant statewide changes to ADU law are AB68, AB881, AB670 and AB671.

But something to remember is, if you get a great deal and can undercut the market, days on the market will become less relevant. 

That's a discussion you need to have with the relevant planning and zoning commission.

"Capitalization rate" would typically be the relevant calculation, which is NOI/price.
