@Alex S.Well, it looks like a typical two story house, with a garage instead of a basement, except.......the front entrance door is raised to about 6’ off the slab/first floor level, indicating a typical “split level”, even thought the garage and opposite end windows indicate a typical “2 story”. ??????

It was an amazing home for the family but with so much future potential with a huge unfinished basement, it's own private entrance and a separate concrete parking pad on that side of the horseshoe driveway.

If separate entrances, let them do it.

Entrance and exit strategy numbers:1 - cost to get into a market (for sale listings)2 - Cost to get out fast (Sold comps)3 - Cost to get out s..l...o...w....

Is there a separate entrance?

@Joe Splitrock I spoke with my insurance agent and they said they have a product that will cover it as long as there are separate outside entrances.

What are your thoughts on buying a single-family residence with a mother-in-law entrance, and renting out the basement?

A) - Analyze your Current Entrance/Opportunity Cost   1 - Establish property sq ftg ranges, with each range no more than 300 sq ft in width.   2 - List the current properties for sale, and slot them in the ranges (see #1)   3 - Establish what the current entrance cost is per range. 

@Irfan RazaSeparate meter for common areas required only if it's 3-units and more and if you actually have common area (shared entrance).
