Just as you wouldn’t go to the store to shop without bringing your wallet, you don’t go shopping for real estate without money.This doesn’t mean it has to be your money, certainly it can be the much-coveted concept of OPM.  

Hi Eric,Instead of searching for "mother in law unit," try "accessory dwelling unit" or "ADU." :)

@James Phillips Accessory building, in-law suit, efficiency apartment. 

I'm looking to build an ADU ("accessory dwelling unit") on my property in Denver and am wondering if anyone has any experience with the type of value it might add to the total property.

Anyway our way around that was to purchase a home with an accessory apartment that did not have separate utilities (hence it is not considered multi-family). 

The main house and an accessory dwelling unit.

Ha, good luck.I'm in your area and wish the options were better here as well.In all seriousness though, unless you stick with established markets like the others mentioned, that coveted list would be outdated by the time they hit a website list.

The idea here is to add a guest house or an Accessory Dwelling Unit to the rear of the house -- connected by at least a breezeway.
