To add to @Matthew Forrest's point, a homeowner without previous experience with the design-build process for an ADU should realistically expect 12 months from initial design to completion.

Instead, ViaSat seems one (or perhaps the only) satellite internet provider and from what I can tell, they have serious data cap rates on their high-speed data (even with their platinum plan)Does anyone have experience with ViaSat (or alternatives) and can provide insight on how viable this is for STR properties (we fortunately plan on cable TV with DIRECTV via AT&T)?

Does anyone have suggestions on how to download sales data in a specific region with buyer and seller agents attached to each listing?

But at the same time there aren't many active comparable rental properties nearby, which makes determining the market rent of a property difficult.I found that using rental listings that are inactive but were recently active provides me with a lot more data for determining market rent.To do this I go to the Zillow rent estimator tool and enter my property's address as well as a (very) rough estimate of the rent.

It's knowing where to look and having someone work with you that knows what the hell they're doing that will help you cut through the big data and make sense of under-valued acquisitions, of which, there are plenty. 

You'll have to work w/ a realtor for access to this data.  

Get the most mileage you can out of this + a blog and then when you are at a tipping point or losing proven business because of your lack of a fully spun website, jump to one of the big hosting and design companies.

Change the keywords around, look for different size lots, BRs, BAs, features Etc....sometimes different places will popup if you search like this....When you find a place, go search on a competitors search engine, you will often find more pictures, a different description, better historical data, etc..

This article cherry picked data elements and weighted them and then left out the data element that has the biggest overall affect on price.

And it can be tricky to negotiate a great deal on a SF or small MF when you only have 45 days to designate three potential properties, in this market.
