I'll be looking at the remainder of the REO and investor held properties that was looking at last week as well as the following HUD homes (note the prices):listing#addresscity Pricebedxfbathxhbath#6053561752 MARIE WAYLawrenceville, 30043 $61,600 4x2x0#4683902561 RAMBLING WAYLithonia, 30058$61,800 3x2x0#6208853423 CENTERSET COURTSnellville, 30039 $50,000 3x2x0#5983144497 FOWLER LANESnellville, 30039 $58,000 3x2x0#6103794083 MASONWOOD COURTSnellville, 30039 $66,800 3x2x0#5481774425 CARRIAGE TRAILStn mountain, 30083$39,000 3x2x0#6106345421 RIDGE FOREST DRIVEStn mountain, 30083$44,000 3x2x0#6176081292 MUIRFIELD DRIVEStn mountain, 30088$40,500 3x2x0#5431212107 SCARBROUGH ROADStn mountain, 30088$48,800 4x2x0If you want to see photo, just pick a house and do a google searchAfter viewing all of them I will formulate my offers and write up the contracts.

Also see some in the very most expensive parts of the city around what we call Park Cities...more or less the garage apartment above the carriage house....

My husband and I bought a 117 year old duplex with a separate carriage house, and we are renovating it, mostly ourselves.

An accessory unit can be completely separate as a carriage house as well as an English basement.Now they could just be wrong, but I was very specific when I went down to DCRA about completely separate entrance with no interior access.

Hi all, If I built a carriage house or granny flat in the backyard of one of my rentals and let's say it costs $80k, and I pay for it with cash, what would I need to make in monthly rent for it to make financial sense?

Gas won't go away, just like coal didn't go away, just like horse drawn carriages won't go away.

@Raquel Doheny  thank you.. if you have never been to Charleston I highly recommend it.. its a great tourist town.. shopping food culture history.. and there is a section called south of Broad with museum quality mansions one after another.. horse drawn carriage rides etc.we just snagged a lot there and will do our first multi million dollar build.. not big dollars like SF Bay ARea or at least the Peninsula but pretty heady stuff for South East. 

I plan to live in the house for awhile and rent out the carriage house. 

i live in dallas, tx, which is a large urban center, where we do have electricity and horseless carriages, and yet $65k a year is a comfortable living.

For the size of our unit (a 500 sq ft one bedroom carriage house), and our location (way in uptown), it was about right.
