SFH with un-permitted guest house and a detached garage

Paul Wolfson

Posted

I found a SFH that is for sale. It has a detached un-permitted guest house and separately a detached garage, which I would like to convert to an ADU. The zoning is for a single family house.

1. What strategies are at play here? 

2. Can I permit the guest house, and rent it out?

3. After permitting the guest house, can I convert the detached garage to an ADU for a second income stream?

Once it’s permitted you can for sure rent it out. I can guarantee you people rent out non permitted units everyday.
