no.

In unit washer dryer should get you way more in rent than your cash yield from coin operated, especially if you are considering sacrificing an apartment.  

Hi @Karen Margrave I see you have your Calle Redondel house in contract - congratulations! Photos on the MLS look great. Also looks like you are underway on the Paseo Pinzon house. Keep up the good work!

@Brennen Cook I see that you got this sold for $544K this Spring.  Congratulations. 

Actually, in re-reading this, this is a golden opportunity to go and negotiate with your seller for a price concession.  Make a reasonable argument for the diminished value of the property if the neighbor successfully builds the new structure.  How much less valuable are those side units?  Get a credit for that amount...

Check with you local planning department, but I suspect the problem is yours not his.  Why should you be able to build to the property line and your neighbor not?  Typically lot line windows are not allowed in my jurisdiction for the reasons you describe.

@Will Barnard - Congratulations on the close of this deal.  Your attitude is admirable.  It was and is a beautiful project.    Best of luck on the next one.  

@Will Barnard What are your holding costs on this flip?  Did you finance with private money?

Go ask your bank what they require.

So many cranks on the comment boards these days

I have found zillow estimates a useful starting point for further research.  Even dumber than relying on the estimates totally would be to ignore them entirely.

Keep learning and have fun.
