Most people would rather live in a detached unit of a multifamily than an attached unit...I currently live in one of my multifamily properties that has a shared wall which is perfectly fine with me but currently looking for the next place and ideally it would be detached units for more privacy...Duplexes  generally tend to be smaller here in San Diego (2 bed/ 1 bath units are most common) and those with families and kids tend to want atleast a 3bed/2bath which maxes a single family home with an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) more attractive.

I would capitalize the plumbing and bathroom remodel and expense as tenant turnover the kitchen cabinets, any appliances other than an HVAC system, and the tile/other flooring you listed.

I've created a FB page for my business and I plan on joining and interacting in the groups to start getting a list of potential buyers.3.This is the toughest question, I currently don't have an exit strategy other than an inspection clause that I could use to renegotiate the deal.

Umbrella policies are excess coverage which means they don't kick in until your primary (property) insurance is exhausted.

I think we are experiencing the lag between layoffs and people exhausting their severance packages before deciding to move places/rent, or sell their house they can't afford. 

I've found the product to truthfully be better than an Anderson 100 series window and while I've been fortunate not to have any maintenance issues thus far, my supplier who I've worked with for a few years and trust has made a point of emphasis in saying their warranty response is excellent.

No different than an appraisal.

Despite simiilar names an LLP is a deferent animal than an LLC.
