House Hacking in Highlands Ranch

[Robert Aydelott]

Hello all,

I having been searching for the ever elusive duplex to House Hack in Denver and have made few offers but no luck so far.

I have been finding a lot of nice homes in Highlands Ranch with walk out basements and Mother In Law suites. I am wondering if I lived in the basement and rented out the top two floors if that would be a zoning violation or if the HOA would get on to me. I am thinking I could just use a portable stove top in the basement, as I know the range can often be the violation. I have left some messages to get some more info, but so far nothing back.

Does anyone have any experience or insight into this?
