There is not a separate entrance to the basement, but the stairs to the basement are in a laundry room in the back part of the house.

I recently consulted on a new build 8 units per entrance, so similar mix, and can hopefully offer some insight.

, Fence 2 acres $20,000; Gate system $15,000;  Electric $7,000;  Security $7,000; road rock $20,000; driveway entrance $??

Here's my lease language:(k) Yards, patios, balconies, vestibules, hallways, and entrances may not be used to store belongings or to dry clothes.

I am exploring the possibility of not only fixing things but doing a renovation to bring an old half bath into a fully functional bath, renovate the entrance and foyer among other things and possibly even an addition to the house.

Aside from the retirement fund goals, we are making some home improvements, including adding an in-law suite with a private entrance that we rent our either long term or airBnB.

I'm also seeing a lot of folks converting a split floor plan into a MIL suite with separated entrances, and using one side to run as a rental.

First and foremost, as you're changing out the locks on the doors, install doorbell cameras on the exterior to cover entrances in/out of the property.  

Richmond has better yields but higher entrance fees.

I've got a 2nd floor detached garage build i'm in the planning/permitting stages of here and looking for advice to see if any key features need added.It will have its separate entrance from main garage which will be utilized by main house STR for a game room eventually.
