is a mother in law addition a good idea in denver

[Ric Weidner]

I am currently remodeling a flip in Denver which has a mother in law potential with a walkout basement.  I am wondering if having a mother in law addition is a good feature for sales or better to change to a big open house.  the price range of the house is 800K in Denver.

@Ric Weidner the first step is to see if you can get a building permit for it. That will answer the zoning question. If zoning doesn't allow it, then you can't get a building permit. If you are adding a 2nd kitchen without a permit, I would not advise that, especially in an $800k house.
