HELP! Add a Unit to my Duplex?

[Matthew Lindquist]

Hey Everyone!

I have been posting a bit too much but I need some help! I just bought a duplex with an unfinished basement and am thinking about adding a unit in the basement (if zoning permits me to). I cant imagine it would ever make much more than $400 in my neighborhood, but it would dramatically increase the value of the property. I would need to put egress windows in, bathroom, and a basic kitchen. It would be a studio. Otherwise I could rent out the space as storage with no value add. Thoughts? I would love to talk to someone in minneapolis who has done this.
