When picking an ADU layout think of one that will appeal to as many homeowners as possible.. think that you want every person who would view the home to say, "I could use this for X...."  

One aspect of MFR re-positioning that has always intimidated me is the rehab phase.I don't feel like I really have a good eye for aesthetics in terms of design, colors, layout, and materials.I've done cosmetic upgrades before, but they were for A-class, single-family homes, so it was fairly easy since I could just choose stuff that I already have in my own home (hand-scraped hardwood floors, granite and marble surfaces, and brushed-nickel or bronzed finishes, etc.)

I used both apps and here is the reasons why:Realtor:Pros:-I prefer the layout and find it easier to use-If you search by property type it has a specific "multifamily" option-Built in mortgage calculator that shows cost breakdown of principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and PMI (I have compared county tax records to what realtor has and they have been accurate >90% of the time) - the cost breakdown makes it easier for me to analyze dealsCons:-No search by keyword functionZillow:Pros:-For sale by owner (which someone already mentioned), foreclosures, auction properties.

Poor building layout, lack of parking and worse not split utilities.

1) Ignorance2) Higher costs of capital (interest rates)3) Variable costs of capital (ARMs)The residential market makes intuitive sense to me and I can derisk my investment by locking in a fixed cost of capital.

I have an architect drawing up a layout for 4 townhouses on the property.  

I've been collecting rents for 10+ years and I find Cozy.co very intuitive and user friendly.

Do all your due diligence and develop an intuitive sense about people and how they will perform.  

Its a 4 unit brick building with identical layout.  3 units are rented and 1 is vacant.

I unfortunately don't have time to lay out my life story every time I post.
