Plus new construction will be to today's design trends, so you should rent quickly and be on the high end of market rent.

You essentially create the "needs"(needed for loan approval: ie- roof with 3+ years life, etc) and your "wants"(That Brand new kitchen/bath all renters want).

But, during their move-in day, I happened to be in the kitchen with the daughter for a couple minutes and made friendly chit-chat about the iguana (in a cage on the kitchen counter). 

I can't give specifics on that area but I am going to be 80k into a rehab that structurally was good, but needed all new electric, plumbing, roof, windows, moved walls, added 3 bathrooms, new kitchen, all new floors etc. 

I am about to start a rental rehab in which I will use LVP for the living room, dining room,kitchen and finished basement with carpet for the steps, upstairs hall and bedrooms.I tried a metallic epoxy floor for a basement earlier this year in a rehab.

Key criteria for a successful SFH househack:Suitable zoning criteria, i.e. room rental laws (county by county)Within 1 mile of hospital, major company HQ, public university, and private university (to attract 20-somethings)At least half as many bathrooms as bedrooms (i.e. a 4 bed / 2.5 bath could work, but 4 / 1.5 could get sticky)Plenty of driveway space / street parking (1 per roommate)Plenty of kitchen space (since the kitchen is the most occupied room other than individual rooms)Basement or side entrance entry point (i.e. if you wanted to turn the basement into your living space, you could enter from a side entrance)Un-involved neighborhood community (cul-de-sacs can be the worst spots)Turn-key quality (i.e. you won't need to fix much of anything when you move in)This list is by no means exhaustive, but things to think about when you work with an agent on a SFH househack.

It needs a kitchen, a couple of windows added and permanently closing the garage door.What software programs do you recommend to put together designs for these ADU's that I could take to the county planning commission.

We had new windows installed, kitchen and bathroom gutted and put together, floors re-done, paint throughout, and landscape completed.

The building was not designed for cash flow so you have much higher expense ratios and more headaches to contend with.

As you know rent is quite low (median in Milwaukee is about 1,200 for a single family) yet you have the same infrastructure to maintain: one kitchen, one bath, one HVAC, one water heater etc - cost of replacing a water heater is the same, no matter if your rent is 700 or 1200 or 1600 (which is our typical rent for a SF).Income (rent) is a function of size: bedroom and bathroom count as well general space meaning square footage.
