I need some feedback on a property in Utah County we recently bought and listed for rent and I'm hoping you'll be able to help.It's a 5 bed 2 bath home with a one bed one bath accessory apartment.

Legally converted the home to a duplex from a single family with a potentially illegal accessory dwelling unit.

Generally speaking you might need neighborhood approval (I see it with lot splits) and neighbors don't want the congestion.I would explore if Georgia allows Accessory Dwelling Units.

I'm looking for a way to lower my housing costs with this plan.The plan is to build an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) in my basement, essentially turning my home into a duplex.

Plus all the miscellaneous cords, accessories and tax.

$6000-Flooring (2580 sq ft) (hardwood and underlayment/tile and backerboard) $11000-Kitchen ( cabinets/granite/appliances /tile backsplash etc) $10000-2 bathrooms (vanities/toilets/glass showers/bath accessories/tile shower walls) $5000Things to consider: demo rear structure that’s currently serving as 2nd unit, extend roofline the entire length of home, add 5k ish, the one side of either this house or w50th had a settling issue so we’re going to have to fix thatCost as estimated to rehab $127600 -132600(your going to be somewhere in this range)

@Anthony Fanucci If you are not familiar, ADU = accessory dwelling unit.

Whether that was a duplex scenario, Accessory Dwelling Unit, or rental of a room/suite within the Host's home.  

Not only are R-5 properties zoned for duplexes they are also zoned for accessory dwelling units which means if you find a place with a large enough lot you cant turn a single family home to a duplex AND build another house up to 750sq ft on the same lot. thats Three Units on the same lot!

Allow me to explain.ADU's are known to be a pretty popular housing accessory in California.
