Make sure to check zoning laws and permit requirements in your area, and maybe connect with local contractors through referrals to get multiple quotes.

We have a few custom builders who put out maybe 10-20 a year, mostly high end

As soon as you start discussing your business practice and strategies with your customers (tenants), then all bets are off and you run the risk of Fair Housing violations. 

Looking for some insight/ experiences from folks who have furnished rentals/ Airbnb in Anaheim (City requirement 31 day minimum unless you have a permit).  

First thing to do is check with the city or county to make sure the ADU would be permitted to be a STR.

For people reading this - I don’t know the sponsor and this is a general comment but if a sponsor had issues reporting to their customers that should be a giant red flag.

The software allows me to generate custom reports on my rental income, expenses, and overall performance.

Example would be for a SFH fixer upper in grandma condition:   $10k for demo and permits and prep, $10k for wall removing and layout revising, $10k for basement framing, $10k for drywall, $20k for paint, $30k for flooring, $20k for kitchen, $20k for baths, $20k for any MEP upgrades, $10k for trim work, $10k interior finishes 

After 18 months I still didn't have a building permit and decided to cut ties with the builder and forfeit my deposit.
