AddressIntel AI Briefing

While 'stealth density: primary + ADU + JADU' is technically feasible with a 93/100 ADU score, the high asking price relative to realistic market comps kills any immediate development margin. Correcting for the unreliable square footage data reveals that a teardown or lot split would result in negative ROI. Investors should pass on this property unless there is a severe price reduction.
