This is really rare though, vast majority of unpermitted additions go unnoticed and i would say a 3rd of the single families I sell have some sort of garage conversion or something unpermitted. 

A modest number (overall) of extremely affluent people moving into an area in vast numbers (proportionally) over a short period of time may well be able to buy the few homes that go for sale at insane prices...

To be clear, it was well within our rights under the rules to file for homeowners exemptions during this time period as the tenants had a leasehold interest in the property and the vast majority of tenants had options to purchase as well.

The developer had an array of homes to chose from, so we chose one that fit our plan, locked in a price, and signed a contract with 5% down to lock in our price.

The vast majority of these folks aren't looking to stiff their landlords just because the law says that we won't be able to evict them until late this year. 

@Jason Scurry Definitely, just the access to the vast network of like minded individual's is amazing!

I don't think 95% fail, I think a vast majority of that don't try.  

You are correct that I don't think a vast majority of syndication investors will use something like this - but if you are in more than 5-10 deals, it can certainly simplify things. 

Usually it is quite a wide array of properties, but it can help give you a general idea of what you can expect.Sounds like a cool place!

Bringing it up to code as an ADU will be easier than re-zoning to a duplex, which depends on your location and for the vast majority of properties is not possible.
