Quote from @Twana Rasoul: You can do a cash out refinance of that San Diego home or use a Heloc...depending on what your reason is for purchasing another propery, you may be better off not purchasing and instead potentially adding an ADU or two to that current property.1. better buy the one that already has ADU rather than building ADU, preferably if it's broken house/ADU.

Again, labor intensive.I did roofing for 7 years and it is a pretty common request to breakdown into shingle install price and plywood install price...takes 5 minutes.The SOW will have tearoff and replace shingles (Price) this includes their materials, labor and profit included...not broken down, just a total.Plywood Replacement (Price) same as before, total price for materials, labor, and profit...not broken down, just a total.Chimney work (Price)Keep looking around.

It's both, and it also looks like it is very rough-grained, assigning one grade to a wide area that really should have been broken down more.

I find doorframes, outlets, and any broken pieces of trim around the house to be the most helpful places to "peak behind" and see how many layers I can spot.

I also brought this up when talking about the broken door window to the current property manager.

Here is a list of a few that I find to be of most value:Population TotalHome ValuesHousehold IncomesPoverty RatePopulation AgeRental Vacancy Rate*Homeowner Vacancy Rate*Educational Attainment Rate (High School/GED & Bachelors)Number of Housing UnitRent to Income Ratio*Rent to Price Ratio*Population on SNAPS (supplemental nutrition assistance program) percentageProperty Tax Rate*Median Age of BuildingsNumber of Structures by Units (SFR, Duplex, Triplex, Quadplex, etc...)Median Rents by Number of BedroomsPopulation Change (Births, Deaths, In-Migrations, Immigrants)  *note that some of the metrics are composites that are computed by comparing two or more variables from the ACSA number of the variables above can also be broken up into cohorts, which will give you even more insight into how an area is doing.

Owners visiting their vacation properties and finding lots of missing items, broken furniture, and just run properties. 

@Rahul Handa Our 8 plex got sued last year (slip and fall on ice in the parking lot, broken hip).
