Hi Scott, Fannie Mae guidelines will allow you to use rental income reported on schedule E of your tax returns with the exception of rental income from your primary home, unless you have a 2 unit property or an accessory unit.  

Lots of things in this change but one of them is that home owners with enough of a lot size will be able to build an "accessory dwelling" on their property which currently isn't allowed: basically a single family home behind what is already on there. 

https://boisedev.com/news/2019/06/10/11th-and-idaho/Boise approves changes to Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) regulations to allow larger units, but keeps the requirement that the owner live on-site.

After looking at zoning laws, I don't think I can because it specifically says I can't lease an accessory building separate from the principal residence.What can I do with this accessory building if I choose to purchase this property?

Hello Everyone!My mother-in-law is looking into doing an ADU in Simi Valley, CA.  My experience is only in the City of Los Angeles.  Anyone have any good contacts (contractors, architects, etc.) that I could reach out...

Being able to put the blinds down means that people walking by won't be able to look in the window and see all the furniture and accessories we stage with.
