@Krystle Housley  your day one is a total fairy tale  LOL as you suspected. and only a feel good story.real estate is highly regional  what works in one market does not work in another.Like here in Oregon its totally illegal to wholesale the way these guys teach it. you will get in troubled with a nice big fat fine and have to hire an attorney.

I suspect it because other areas in CA are valuing the ADU similar to the appraisers in San Diego.If I were the OP, I would choose to add ADU and realize that I may not recover the full construction costs when I go to sell but realize that I saved on the rent, that I provided my parents a nice home right next to us, and that I possible made some money by renting it out.Good luck

I suspect that Airbnb dominates the younger market and VRBO might be stronger in the older market so you could update your listing to appeal to an older guest.
