Or get cheaper cabinets but then add in some of the accessories, i.e. pull out shelves, no slame hinges, etc...Some higher end MDF the average person can't tell it's not real wood.I NEVER go to boutique, specailized stores for anything as they are always higher.

Accessory Apt or Movie Room/Man Cave?

Is an accessory dwelling unit that:a.

The term does not include companion units, junior units, or employee housing.Companion unit means an accessory structure on a residential lot that provides independent living facilities for one or more persons, independent of the primary dwelling unit, which includes permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation.Accessory structure means a structure attached to or detached from a primary structure located on the same premises that is customarily incidental and subordinate to the primary structure or use.

Close to colleges, hospitals, shopping, great schools, etc.Lately, we've been throwing around the idea of creating/building an accessory unit/small cottage on our land and renting it out like a regular rental.

If it goes legal in Florida, you should find it's not at all a "gateway" drug but simply be concerned about what they're smoking (rolled up in paper or vape pen?) 

It doesn't do me much good in the Las Vegas market, but I thought members in Portland would find it useful.Understanding and Appraising Properties with Accessory Dwelling Units
