Some of the cons of our location is that it is attached/sharing 1 wall to the front house, the patio is 30 ft up an alley where they walk past our front yard to get to their patio, it is lit and our neighbors have their front door on the same access alley so not a threatening looking alley by any means.

Her and her bf plan on converting a section of the house to an attached ADU to help with bringing in some cash flow and renting out the other bedrooms to some friends of theirs. 

Hi,Just wanted to attach this below.

Rentals have  a lot of expenses attached to them.

It is a semi-attached row house that I live in.

If the home is attached to a piece of property you could lien the property and the attached home. 

There were multiple mortgages attached to the property after the auction and throughout four years, by luck, I was able to fix them with little money down and lots of headaches.

See screenshot attached for another property in the area currently up for sale.

We (me, my wife, and two boys) bought a single family home with a guest studio attached to it. 

To provide some background here, my wife and i recently purchased a triplex that has an existing 500 sq.ft attached storage unit (conditioned space) and a detached 5-car garage.
