It’s a duplex with a garage that can be converted to an ADU (accessory dwelling unit) aka Casita.

However, you should be using only very fine accessories when staging the house; better to leave a room empty than stage it poorly.

Even with current legislation to allow these AUD’s (accessory dwelling units) I’m finding I’m running in circles which makes it hard to commit.

Everything about building Accessory Dwelling Units in Ventura1. 

If they want to personalize it, they can do that with furniture and accessories-ie stuff that goes with them when they move.

Further, as of the end of 2019, some additional restrictions were: 1) The homeowner must live onsite of the STR (no living next door or somewhere else in the city); 2) You can only rent out up to 2 BRs max of your home to 2 adults and accompanying minor children; 3) No whole-house rentals; 4) STRs cannot have their own kitchen space; 5) Homeowner must keep a record of all renters over the past 3 years; 6) Backyard cottages (or other Accessory Dwelling units (ADUs)) can NOT be used as STRs; 7) You must notify your neighbors and apply for a permit to operate as a STR. 

Are accessory dwelling units legal in the Belleville, Canton, Ypsilanti area?

Owners do not have to live on the property anymore according to the link below.http://www.seattle.gov/sdci/permits/common-projects/accessory-dwelling-unitsI decided not to go with the ADU for this certain situation as it may turn away some tenants with “living” with someone else.

If they decide to go do STR with their place, you will be out of luck with a whole home of furniture and accessories to store or get rid of.Quite a bit of risk but it can work.

Perhaps one could also use it for a detailing shop or other auto accessory installation shop of some sort.Just a thought...
