Purchase price: $327,000 Cash invested: $33,000Bought as our home, then immediately built a separate entrance to the basement and have been running as an Airbnb ever since.

Would I be better off creating an exterior door to the attic area to create a possible private entrance adu so a buyer could envision extra income?

A few sold right in my building the last month or two so I basically know what mine will come back at, however, I do have a few perks to my unit (2 brand new bathrooms, private entrance and water view) so thinking it would be priced just a bit more than the others that sold recently. 

The Deal at purchase: Purchase Date: April 10, 2020Purchase Price: $264,000 - conventional loan Down Payment: $52,800 (sourced from fiance’s trust fund) Closing Costs: ~$3,500 PITI: $1,095 House details: 3:2 (Upstairs – 2:1; Downstairs 1:1 w/ separate entrance).

It is one continuous building on a residential-zoned lot; however, it does have 3 separate entrances and can be viewed as a triplex in the sense that there are three separate living spaces, separate meters, etc.

CONVEY LUXURY STATUS AT ENTRANCEDesigning a sign that complements the architecture on the rest of the property is important, and the opportunity exists to enhance first impressions by investing in luxurious features in your entrance signage.2.

All of these would be attached but there are separate entrances.

I’m in a little bit of a similar boat I’ve got a 3rd room that you can only access by walking through the second bedroom and it has an outside entrance in one of my units so I call it a bonus room.

Be quick and proactive about cleaning up trash and graffiti/etc if an issue,  the whole "broken windows" theory does have some merit and besides good tenants will appreciate it.I use a simple security camera system aimed to cover parking area and common accessways to one of my buildings,   but explicitly NOT aimed at individual unit entrances.   

BUT we have made the basement a mother-in-law suite that acts as a private residence with a private entrance.
