Running the, numbers, it appears like it will cash flow well.My question is, since we are building it from scratch for this purpose, how would you go about designing it for maximum profitability? 

We design our pricing specific to every deal.

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. 

Then if feasbile, they would basically design your retail space adhering and ensuring compliance with applicable codes with the filing (as an Alteration Type 1) which will amend the Certificate of Occupancy to add the retail into the lower floor.

That has to be such a fun project to design!

Typically, $500-1000* **Flood certification**: if a property is in a federally-designated flood zone, homeowners may be required to add flood or life of loan insurance coverage.

Amazing design work!

Work Space is killing it nationwide.
