@Ken M. we live in one, it has an attached unit, but with a door that passes through from both units.

Furthermore, it aligns with the growing trend of home improvements that enhance daily living while maximizing investment returns.

My name is Cesar and I am originally from Puerto Rico but have been living in Virginia for over 20 years.

That’s when I realized I already had a strong connection to the Tampa Bay area—my aunts and uncles live in Largo, just 30 minutes from this home.

I could see a requirement, perhaps under the Patriot Act, that requires all landlords to get a SSN/TIN from everyone living in a unit and report that (or lack of) to the federal government.

Are you wanting to find something within an hour of where you live or are you open to something farther away?

Now you see how expensive dining and living rooms are that could be converted. 

Cost of living increases are real.

The FHA rules/regs (in particular the FHA self-sufficiency test) are applied the same across all markets, and I know for a fact that in rural communities across the country, and big cities that are not particularly desirable places to live, it's not a deal-breaker, I am not commenting on those areas. 

Those that own it can be harder to sell as the cash flow from the business will cover the debt service for the business, but not for the real estate.Example: I had a very high-end assisted living facility on the market.
