This cottage industry (pun intended) is fast becoming a major growth industry and is spreading like a wind fanned fire.

It is a duplex and a cottage on the same lot.  

You don’t want your place to look like a tired beach rental, or grandma’s cottage. 

After acquiring several properties and buildings in different areas such as a home in the city, a rental property, and a cottage, some people may decide it is too much work to maintain them all and want to sell one of them.Divorce.

Anything in Westport, Dartmouth, Far north of New Bedford only, Acushnet (but not near the proposed gigantic LNG tanks), Freetown, Lakeville (but not the cottage areas near the ponds), Rochester, some parts of Fairhaven would be considered, Mattapoisett, Marion, Wareham, some parts of Bourne (not over the bridge to Cape Cod), even Halifax and Plymouth.  

@Mary Rutten@Scott Schultz   Mary I don't think Scott was talking about your guest speakersits well known that the bigger players in a market will troll the REIA's looking for newbies and dump houses on them that they may or not make money on.Eddie speed is there to sell his guru note courses... its how they drum up business.. these guys are all on a circuit and REIA's are part of the circuit.that said I have fond memories my Grandfather had a cottage on Lake Poygan out of Winneconnie  not sure if I am spelling those correctly.. but I spend many summers there in the late 60's and have very fond memories.I also remember though going back in the mid 80s with a car I rented in IL  and getting chased off of the driveway into the cabin by locals who I guess don't really like IL residents..

On the property there is a main house with 2/1 and there is a cottage in the back which is 1/1. 

It is a small SFR cottage approx $50k and rents for $850-$875, currently at the $875 rate.

Currently reno'ing (what will be) my primary residence...a 1926 Acadian style cottage that was basically falling down upon my purchase.  

My Partner and I bought 2 1940's cottages on one piece of land,renovation was extensive.
