Detached ADU construction costs in Portland seem to average around $150k, but I'm hoping to find ways to do it cheaper (maybe ~$120k).I still need to run numbers on the specific expenses to confirm there would be positive cash flow, but am currently just feeling out the concept.

My understanding, based on research and a few email exchanges with the City, is the following: - I can use or build a detached ADU if the property has the right zoning designation (B1, C1, etc) and meets the minimum lot size requirements (while I am living in the primary residence).

Hey guys,Was wondering what you think of this analysis:SFR - 3 bed, 1.5 bath, 1200 sq ft, detached garage & carport, large fenced yard, all hardwood floors.

I have detached single family rentals, and it's in lease that tenant acknowledges they are receiving unit in clean condition with all systems operational and no sign of pests, mold or mildew.  

My wife, who lived her entire life in a detached single family home, has much more anxiety than I do regarding our living standards.

I've read that fear is a normal obstacle.  

Normally the largest obstacle to a reverse exchange is the financing. 

The real estate market has been very hot here the past few years. we moved into our detached house in 2016 and paid $375K and it is currently appraised at around $500K. 

Not going to college creates more barriers and less opportunities...... now with the right person, those obstacles can be overcome and quite successfully.... but it takes the right person.

She does have a detached garage in the back that is falling apart that could be used if we can get so money to fix it up.
