A local RE professional should be able to provide this information to you as well.In New York, we deal with this scenario frequently and oftentimes it does not make sense to legalize ADUs because the permit process is extremely lengthy, the cost is high (sometimes $150-300K for 1 ADU unit), and the potential increase in property valuable is not worth the risk.If you already have an approved permit/plan and can get your renovation down to $80K, you may want to consider this project if the ARV is say north of $800K.** You should also look into any potential property tax increases associated with this change.

Very comfortable with taxes, but haven’t done tax work for years, so sometimes I seek advice on things I’ve forgotten.No one is going to do the level analysis and planning that I do with my own taxes, so I’m fairly certain I’m saving a significant amount of money in legal tax avoidance. 

Thanks Jason,Yes, that is certainly the plan.

There is too much supply for the little amount of demand for rent or for sale.Be careful of peoples projections in the area as they are not accurate.

I’ve recently been exploring the idea of hospice/ continuing care models.

I dont plan on building anything on the property, if and when, it gets rezoned.

Not sure, but I'd say it is more of a matter of thorough diligence and future planning, not really about integrity.

Thanks for the tip, it is actually on my to do list, I heard REIA talked about on the podcast and plan on searching for one in Utah.

Do you plan on investing locally?

I only care about DOM.
