I did build a website of my own but it's more of a place holder than an actual marketing engine. 

I would exhaust those first to really know what opportunies exist locally as well if so.Rafael

All things being equal, if I've never done this all on my own, yet I'm at least somewhat established in a given market, it simplifies things somewhat to begin in an area I know better than an area I don't know.

Umbrella insurance seems to cover you and your assets better than an LLC in case of a lawsuit.3.

And yeah, exhaust fumes fo any kind, yeah, let's get ride of em when we can just because we can.

It's less than an hour of time, and if their prices are fair, they are respectful, helpful, positive and can build a good rapport with me (and they check out) they will get business from me....even if they need to give me 2-3 more bids before we find the right project.I don't think a GC who's int he business of doing $10,000-$50,000 renovations should be charging for his bids.

@Linda Pasas you'll want to look in to it yourself but my understanding is that an umbrella policy kicks in after your primary policy is exhausted. 

@Vikram Jayaram  I think a lot of people get hung up on the idea that a new home is less maintenance than an older one, and while that might be true for a few years, most homes start having things break at 8+ years in (sometimes even less), so it wouldn't be long before you are dealing with maintenance calls for a newer home as well.

I also didn't see these sort of numbers on AirBNB, but the broker claims that there isn't anything like it in Miami Beach and it's like an alternative to a Hotel rather than an apartment due to all the amenities etc.Condo price crash in Miami Beach, is that really something that is being talked about? 

The SFR + ADU is worth less than a Duplex because the ADU is viewed as an amenity rather than an additional unit so your appraisal will look for other SFRs with ADUs and provide line item adjustments for homes with and without ADUs much like having or not having a pool or a garage.
