This is not to shed doom and gloom, this is to set realistic expectations. 

In addition, to money, we've shed our blood for others.It is our generosity and unselfishness that have put us where we are today.

I hope that helps and sheds some clarity on it.

I know one old crank who actually built three sheds that he converted into one room shacks to rent up by Fletcher and Nebraska Ave.

Some sheer wisdom was shed here, thank you Dominik!

Could you help shed some light?

The answer lies in the psychology of real estate buying, a fascinating aspect of the housing market that can shed light on our behaviors as buyers.The Emotional ConnectionWhen it comes to buying a home, emotions often play a significant role.People form emotional connections with properties that go beyond their practicality.It's not just about square footage and the number of bedrooms; it's about envisioning a life in that space.

We are looking at expanding into Richmond VA and thought the bigger pockets family might be able to shed some light and recommend some areas or zip codes in Richmond...

Happy to help shed any more light on a more creative perspective.

Thank you for those quick tips on ADUs - they all seem very favorable in both the way they add value to the existing property, as well as in helping the owner further create cash flow opportunities by renting out the main property in addition to the unit (unless the owner decides on just occupying the ADU itself, haha) I wanted to follow up with these questions - 1) If a standalone ADU can cost between 150-200k estimated, do you have a rough idea of how much it would cost to convert a garage or existing backyard shed space into an ADU?
