Anyone has a ball park estimate of the cost and lead time necessary to get plans (engineering+architecture) and obtain permit for a 700 sqft ADU ?

Im a fairly new investor, just starting to buy houses to flip, I’ve had rentals for 10 years which is a different ball game.

You need a place to toss a ball or just let them stretch their legs and run!

While nobody has a crystal ball, $1000/month for HOA fees is pretty darn high especially if you're renting it out!

I'm in the process of getting to know people in the game around here and that ball is really starting to roll. 

I do have a pretty good idea of what a reasonable offer is and I really think the agent gets excited about the double comm. so they work extra hard to get me the ball.

Here is the Zillow for pictures.I say all that because I cannot make heads or tails if my offer is a completely disrespectful low-ball, or the sellers are vastly overstating the sell price.

If their insurance company is involved, there might also be an estimate from them that will give you a ball-park number.Let me know if there is any other way I can help.

It's okay to get a general idea if you're even in the ball park (price wise), but never depend on it.

Be patient, but take action every day to move the ball forward.
