Of course my understanding is that then it would have to be hands off and I can’t live in it.

It felt like Edward was just skimming the surface without providing any real value or in-depth understanding of the subject.

A 4 bedroom structure in your backyard (so assuming there is at least a single family structure on the property) w/o kitchen or common areas (is that what I'm understanding) starts to look like a "hotel" to me.

The property appraiser/assessor is the cheapest resource to find the owners of a property.When you pull the county on the site I listed above you can go to the property appraiser and click on “go to data online”it should take you to search page, where you will type in the address.whej you get the property, it should pull up the owner, mailing address and subject property address.also, it should list the sales history and chain of title, where it should mention who they bought it from and how much they bought it for.this ought to help you understand what you have to work with.for example, the last real sale on the picture listed was in 2008 for 325k, so unless there was additional money borrowed on the property, there ought to be some equity. 

I understand that traditional commission rates might not directly apply in this situation, so I'm curious to hear about any experiences or recommendations you might have.

It's important to understand that.

Your explanation helped me understand this strategy quite a lot more!
