@Julia BlytheHi Julia,Many of these "Modern" designs have large glass areas and are "Artistically" Designed shape wise vs being a box.Finding an Architect who has done this type of design would probably be a good start.Good Luck!

Someone mentioned I may need a Real Estate Professional Designation.

As a side note, with the purchase of this property, there is the option to buy the other two duplexes on the property in 1-2 years time which are of identical design and footprint with the same amount of monthly income.Thanks,Nick

I am working with him to design an ADU in San Jose right now.

@Charlie Moore It's designed for rental properties and I can track every expenses and income related to my property.

Would love to connect if you need any assistance with the design for the property or if you might need help in the deal.As far as the specifics of the deal I am not familiar enough with tax strategies to offer specific advice, though a seller finance seems like it would be a great option if possible.
