Nextgen Properties in Maricopa county

[Nithin Kumar]

New to Arizona and I am seeing a few properties with next gen configuration. In CA, there used to be two different house numbers and it was straight forward to rent them as a separate unit. Trying to understand the strategy for investment properties with next gen configuration from the experienced. tysm in advance.

@Ken M. we live in one, it has an attached unit, but with a door that passes through from both units. They are designed particularly with mother-in-law or next generational living in mind. The one that we live in has a kitchenette, but not a stove because then it would have to be zoned multifamily. We do have a tenant in ours but have closed off the pass through door. The unit shares the same heating and cooling as my own house. That is one of the issues we noted AFTER moving which is annoying. Luckily our tenant is easy going. 

his entrance has a different front door but not his own house number. 

OP, keep in mind not having access to heating and sharing same water heater and etc will require an easygoing tenant in the nextgen. Pay attention to what's connected. 

we also use the same mailbox. On Zillow, we simply call it #A with the same address.
