In the Hyattsville area I see lots of houses with a second kitchen in the basement, often times with a separate entrance, so you could live on one level of the house and have a little privacy for yourself and then your mom and sisters can live on the other level.

The basement as its own entrance/exit.

Property info:-Neighbourhood is safe, family oriented, homes build in 80’s but many on the street have new siding and fantastic curb appeal (the one I am looking at has older siding but still nice curb appeal), bright and very wide street unlike most in the areas I can afford in-Three bedrooms 1 bathroom upstairs (bi-level), newer kitchen, good condition overall, 1 bedroom suite in the basement with separate entrance, storage, large bright windows and high ceilings, good condition – ready to go minus framing in and adding one door (easy fix).

After I got back home yesterday, I spent a good bit of time running the numbers and unfortunately, the estimate on repairs I gave you yesterday, is more after putting a pen to paper.In order to get the house ready for new home buyer, I believe you will need to make these repairs.New RoofRefinish HardwoodsRepair Damaged SheetrockRepaint All InteriorRepaint Front entrance exteriorReplace Carpets in Basement and StairsService the furnace and air conditionerIn my estimation, this will be a $10,000+ renovation.

Iam currently trying to evaluate a deal and its 2 homes on 1 lot is that considered a multi family home the property has 2 separate entrances to the properties I am lost to what I should offer her I am scheduled to go and meet the owner Saturday

Also looks like the beam across the entrance to the carport is somewhat sagging, I'm guessing from the lack of a center support and such a long span.

@Elan Kels Its a fix and flip for retail buyers/investors (single fam 3 bed, 1 bath with a large basement, bath, kitchenette and private entrance.  

Based on the listing description, it has an in-law apartment with a separate entrance and kitchen. 

Hi Amy, The duplex has two entrances/two separate dwellings, so I do not think that you will get the 121 Exclusion on the entire property. 

Kyia M. do you have a house with a separate basement entrance?
