Hello, I am trying to understand the Orem, city code to determine if I am allowed to rent my basement ADU that I currently live in two a couple cousins and their friend. I understand that they would all be considered ...

I found the house on Zillow and ended up going through an agent.

In my personal opinion, it's the land that is appreciating, not the house.

(And I would tell you to not buy a property that doesn't cash flow unless you have significant resources behind you that could absorb anything that could come at you - like replacing a $5,000 AC one month followed by replacing a $1,000 hot water heater the next).   

In other words, I can afford the house with or without tenants.
