Being that you are a studio it would mean one person but again, having this in writing on an advertisement opens you to the potential of violating fair housing advertising rules. 

Underwriting insisted they occupy the larger unit, because it was the 3 of them, mom, dad, new baby and they couldn't legitimize the fact that they were currently renting a 3/2 home prior to their purchase of the 3 unit and down sizing to a studio.

I’ve found I can get higher rents per a bed as a studio/1bd vs a 3bd.

I was wondering what option would be more valuable for the res-sale of the home.Option 1: Take advantage of the long driveway and convert the two-car garage into a studio or 1bed 1 bath space. orOption 2: Keep the two car garage.I also considered finalizing the permits for the ADU space (since I will already by waiting on permits for the main home) and leaving it as a blank "ADU ready" with adequate structural, plumbing and electrical for the future buyer to complete if they wish.Thank you everyone for your opinions and I look forward to being a part of the BP community!

For banking, I think Capital One has a nice user interface.For bookkeeping, try Quickbooks, Stessa, or Landlord Studio.
