Single Family Addition to Create Seperate Unit?

Tim Kaminski
Posted
Hello,

I have small single family home with detached garage.  Interested in possibly adding addition by turning garage into extra bedrooms and connecting to main house with "shared laundry room".  This way I could rent out a front house and back house.
Is this too strange to do?  Is this illegal?
Curious on thoughts.  I looked into ADU but lot size is 500 sqft too small to do.  This would be workaround.

@Chris Davidson And then I could rent them out separately? I’d rather rent out two 2/1s than (1) 4/2. Only shared space would be laundry room. 
I guess I would have to figure out utilities if I was to go that route.
