Back yard office/shed

[Chris Cusiter]

I’m considering building a 120 sq ft studio in the back yard to serve as an office. AC, electricity, no plumbing. Probably looking at around $40k-$50k (in California).

Does anybody have experience of doing this and what it does to the value of the property? I live here now but likely won’t in about 2 years. Do you get the value of it back if you sell or does it increase the potential rental income?

Thanks in advance for any advice!
