Two-bedroom: 600-1,000sfADUs that have two bedrooms range in their rents from $1,800 on the low end to $4,500 in areas such as Westwood & Hollywood Hills.Three bedrooms: 800-1,200sfThree-bedroom units have been ranging from a low of $2,400 all the way up to $5,000 in areas like Valley Village and Topanga.Below is the annual return analysis of investing in building an ADU for rental income, but doesn’t consider the increase in your property value by having an ADU when you go to sell your home.Studio (garage conversion)Let’s estimate the all-in costs including construction and soft-costs are $100,000.

Then get an estimate for someone to come out and fix it. 

I am getting estimates on replacing a old oil boiler with a new gas boiler to heat the rental house.

As such, I am trying to understand how to objectively estimate a properties value relative to the area - I want to stress both the objectiveness and relativeness of this.

@Matthew Crivelli our combined income is estimated around $15k a month, maybe a bit more.

With 2-4 units, if you don't have a huge portfolio or if you have a good PM it isn't unreasonable to have a tenant lined up to move in the day after your existing tenant moves out.PM: Instead of using a market standard like 10%, I'd get with a PM company and have them estimate a property that is similar to what you are looking to buy.

Simply reach out to several contractors and have them provide an estimate/quote for each repair item.

If not there are resources to get a good estimate. 

Since this is our first investment property and we're out of state, we'd like some advice on general estimates or contractors who can come out and check out the place if possible!
