Hi Mary, most of the successful "regular" investors in the bay that I know are following the route of @Ivan Vasquez and @Benjamin LenzMulti-family in the Bay pre-covid was fraught with risks and the average person working 9-5 is ill prepared for that.With the ADU method, you can create multiple streams of income from a SFH without dealing with some of the strange laws that have been put into affect for multi-units.

Now however, following national trends they also have a tighter supply and some demand is spilling over from Durango area w covid/remote work capabilities.

One spill and you have stain that will look bad for years, even if only a light stain.

Ultimately it will be a revenue stream and more importantly it is a tenant convenience. 

Ive got all the paid services active right now as far as data , rent estimators, prop stream, data vendors etc.

We have the prop stream and it isnt that helpful and not all properties are updated correctly.

And, reverse-engineering a policy is a simple way to demonstrate this (looking at the PV of future annual stream of costs).I've spoken with actuaries and financial analysts who recommend this sort of thing.

In fact, they promote sales just as any other brokerage does, any revenue share stream from recruiting is gravy for agents who don't even have that option elsewhere.

@Andrew Simms I don’t remember what it was because it was about 12 years ago but I got waterproof/spill proof bed bug repellent mattress pad covers for my bed and breakfast and never in 11 years had a bug problem or a stain on any of my mattresses.

Investors can capitalize on this trend by acquiring rental properties in strategic locations, securing a stable and consistent stream of income.Resilience against Higher Interest Rates:Higher interest rates can have a significant impact on real estate investments.
