The county is now even talking about require a separate septic tanks for Accessory Dwelling Units and disallowing vacation rentals under 30 days. 

The notion that others are not getting a C of O means that they are leaving themselves open to massive lawsuit and loss of revenue.That said, renting an accessory dwelling unit in DC - in the long term - should provide you with a return on your investment, if you separate the electrical and gas.

My husband and I submitted an offer on a single family house with an accessory dwelling unit studio in outer Los Angeles area.

Don't formally convert to a duplex but see if there is in-law unit or accessory dwelling unit legislation that is often less stringent.

Was considering  a stop by Autozone to buy some cool looking accessories if you follow me on the analogy.

I am in the process of building an Accessory Dwelling Unit in the backyard with a one-car garage and one-bedroom apartment that I will move into and then rent the basement to pay for the new unit. 

Most cities in UT require owner occupancy in the primary unit in order for an accessory unit to be non-owner occupied.

Because the island has 3 "accessory units" on it (in addition to the main lodge, there are 2 cabins and a livable boathouse) every Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac lender's underwriters denied the loan because of an underwriting guideline only allowing 1 accessory unit. 

My first post, go easy on me...I own a Duplex In the bay area that has an attached ADU (accessory dwelling unit) or granny unit.

I converted the basement to an accessory dwelling unit.
