It's called adulting.

I am an architect, designer and project manager with over 25 years in the business.

Custom built because I want to add an inlaw apartment and to design the house in a way where I don't have to interact with the tenants, as in, they have their own exits and entrances and perhaps make their bedrooms into mini studios (with full bathroom and kitchenette).

There isn't an adult alive in America that hasn't been hammered with script after script...so we've gotten good at hearing the patterns. 

What I do with some clients is bring in a contractor and have them provide estimates after designated phases in the design process.

I recently got a WL policy designed for IBC use. 

The ones that have designations are usually pretty serious about managing properties.Good luck

Please note the information provided below is a layman's definition designed to provide a basic understanding for the general audience.

If I don’t hear from you in the next 10 minutes, I will assume you aren’t attending and I will move on to my next appointment.NOTE:  I've gotten away from this a bit, since I am more keen on renting to functioning adults and I find this is a bit enabling. 

Startup costs include the acquisition down payment, any renovations needed to spruce up the property, and then design and furnishings.
