@Will Barnard As always, Your calm manner and patients is something to be admired, studied and duplicated.

You've probably heard of big Landlords losing property, but only because they were flagrantly violating Fair Housing, running a slum, or otherwise violating the law in an egregious manner.

I have never used them in the manner you are mentioning but look them up on Google and give them a call if you haven’t.

They are decorated in a very stylish manner. 

There are compelling, but different reasons to invest in each area.  

I have considered reaching out to pre-foreclosures in a similar manner. 

There is still opportunity out there in the "non-obvious" manner.

The ADU regulations (which vary in significant detail on a city-by-city basis) in San Diego compel the City to allow the use of the existing water and sewer services, but the costs for the homeowner to extend them to the ADU are on the homeowner.In terms of poking holes, you're missing the horizontal costs

We also reminded them nicely and not in a snobbish manner that even after our rent increases are done they will still be around $110 per month less expensive than any other unit.
