Hi all,Long time reader but I haven't had anything to really post about but now I'm thinking about moving forward more into real estate outside of just owning a property to live in.I currently own half of a duplex tha...

Here is where we are getting conflicting information and worried about everything going smoothly.We are buying a single family residence that has an accessory dwelling downtown where it is quite common for the old school mother-in-law cottage to be in the back.

I am taking him to Home Depot and asking him to help me make decisions on what flooring, paint, bathroom accessories, etc. to buy.  

I imagine for a distressed property I'd be looking at a "full 203K" and I read some real nightmare stories.Question #2 is whether anyone has ever rehabbed a SFR to include a legal accessory dwelling unit (In-Law- Apartment) in this area?

David Denies, the leader in South American hunting, recently partnered with BOYT, the leader in shooting accessories and hunting clothing.

It sounds more like you have created a junior accessory dwelling unit which is a bit different than an accessory dwelling unit in the terms of size, juniors are no larger than 500 sq feet and is created using an existing bedroom.

Current w2 income covers expenses, child support, etc, but leave only a small amount for savings so financing all of this will take some thought.My challenge is that I need to get 1 more bedroom in the mix with 2 sons growing and needing their space.My home is in the very narrow part of the city where accessory dwelling units are allowed and I have enough land to do it.

I'm in the process now of looking into Accessory dwelling units to maximize the duplex and still occupy. 

Also, owners have nice vehicles and spend extra on them like new chrome rims, fully tinted windows, and other dumb accessory stuff.

The backyard has a good space and I intended to put a tiny home / ADU (Accessory dwelling unit) in the back yard.
