Here is the note from the appraiser, "The subject consists of 2 dwellings.

Otherwise get a vacant dwelling policy (there are many types of these).

Height of a detached accessory dwelling unit shall not exceed the height of the associated primary dwelling unit.

However, I am not sure that if this space is converted, it would be considered an Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU), which the city prohibits. 

Slightly leaning towards single family dwelling but can be swayed with the right data.I've lived in Sarasota,FL and wasn't overly impressed by the market there and given my Australian heritage, I'm a little over the whole coastal/retirement villages for the snowbirds. 

So, before I address all of the points I read in this thread, can we agree on the following:- All properties in a given neighborhood will all have different market values,- The simplification of those values could be placed into the following three (3) categories;   * AS-IS (No deferred maintenance has been addressed AND curb-appeal is seriously lacking)   * Enhanced (all deferred maintenance has been addressed and some newer "creature comforts" installed)   * Optimal (highest priced, highest and best use dwelling in the neighborhood)If you agree to these simplified characterization, then the following might be agreeable: @Randy Thomason - [Good and Bad Wholesaler, Double Closings]There are good and bad wholesalers, just like there are good and bad real estate agents and brokers.

I chose single family dwellings as I have little to no experience at all and it will be hard enough to finance a single family dwelling let alone a multi.

So I thought let's do it on my Dutch market.Example; https://www.funda.nl/koop/breda/huis-40055057-wilr...Single family dwelling; 125m2, upper 60's, 5 bedrooms, 200k (euro).I looked up similar houses meaning; (same age, rooms, +/- 10m2 more or less, similar location)Rents varried from 890-1045.

I am pretty new to all of this, but I’m very interested in getting into real estate in the next few years. Just taking time to learn as much as I can. I plan to eventually get into larger investments such as apartmen...
