John gives good advice.When planning any building like this, check with the local planning and development commission to make sure this is doable before you spend any more time or resources on it.Here in seattle all single family lots allows a second accessory dwelling, sometimes called a mother-in-law.

They've got a new baby and the mother won't be living there.

The owner is in a nursing home suffering from Alzheimers.

I have a girl and her mother who are in the process of loosing their home to foreclosure that would like to rent my SFR.

I have new tenants, a mother and daughter.

:wink: noticed your sig....my mom is interested in buying near portland (i think an hour north last time i checked)...i don't think she's going to be able to go right away but i might have to look you up whenever she gets to that point. which actually reminds me of a thought i had earlier. my mother and sister i HOPE HOPE HOPE are moving out here to tucson for a couple of years or until she sells her home in MO and she is a stay at home mom even though i am married and my sister is in college so i am hoping to hire her on as my project manager and benefit us both!

My mother in law is a real estate agent there in Fishers.

I am now at a point where the fear and laziness have gone away, yet my financial situation has stayed the same ($0) ;)I have a friend that through some unfortunate situations (father died in 9/11 and mother recently passed away) has come into a large amount on money (just under $2M).

mother hire an inspector to inspector home before purchasing a foreclose from the bank. the inspector wrote on his report that he was not able to inspect heat and water system because they were turned off. my mother went ahead and purchase the home. now that the title is under her name, she now can call Nstar to turn on the water and heat system. after the heat and water was turned on, we noticed that room and hallway basement heater weren't working. also the heater system was leaking water and making notice. there was water pipe leaking as well. anything that has to do with water and gas is health hazard for this reason i ask is it suppose to be the bank who should be liable for all issues. i said because they did not turn on the water and heat system the time the inspector so he can inspect everything tortuous. and also for not telling my mother that the house is health risk. this kind of stuff can cause fireplease feedback is neededpleasei beg you all

My mother told me "NO HOT" but I still touched it.
