If the garage conversion is an ADU then you do not need to maintain the parking which you will take up with the conversion.Hope this helps!

I love Comic Con and when I moved to San Diego for school I discovered it and its since brought me so much joy and this year was a bummer on that front.With regards to acquiring the property my knowledge is little to those here on the forum in terms of what makes something a deal.The input I do have is you may want to consider is that the garage conversion is permitted.

The only reasons I can think to continue to do so are (1) the tax benefits gained from investing into a traditional 401k, and (2) potentially using the 401k to fund FI before age 59 (through the Roth IRA conversion ladder).

I believe he mentioned that garage conversions are not necessarily cheaper because the foundations need to be shored up to be legal.

From the forum conversations I have read, it looks like discussions are the most helpful are those that are specific.

Great conversation! 

Will do more damage then good.Use logic, understand conversion and build your site based on that.

@Riley BreckWould love to have a conversation with you about your experiences and business.

Based on a conversation with the my lender, that amount is what is important for applying for loans.

You'll need a significant amount of insulation.3) Does conversion make sense versus new construction?
