Live in the central Indiana/Indianapolis area and interested in the local Indiana/central Indiana market (ideally 1-ish hour from Indy), specifically single family or small multifamily properties.

Charging extra rent because the caregiver’s housing adults with disabilities could end up looking like discrimination — even if your intent is just to manage risk.In Fair Housing terms, disability is a protected class.

Singles or multi? 

And is it charged every month rent is late?

I am seeking legal advice regarding significant issues caused by negligent and substandard work performed by a general contractor (GC) on a single-family home I purchased last year.

Quote from @Garrett Creswell: Arizona cities like Phoenix, Tempe, and Tucson have loosened zoning restrictions to allow more homeowners to legally build ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) or casitas (often used interchangeably).Phoenix passed a policy in early 2024 allowing ADUs on most single-family lots, aiming to boost affordable housing and multigenerational living options.Requirements were simplified: smaller lot size minimums, reduced parking requirements, and less red tape for permits.With the new law passing, builders and developers saw a new market open up:They’re targeting homeowners who want to create rental income (especially with the Phoenix rental market staying strong).

You've just learned something that many DIY investors never learn - it's easy to get bids from companies that charge a lot as they have a sales team.FINDING the contractors that charge a lot less, but still do great work, is all word of mouth / networking.

Redfin Agents charge low commission and do more to market a property than an average listing agent.

Don't worry about single month results look at trailing 12 months at least.
