If it was me...I'd check with zoning to find out how many dwelling units I could build, and I'd find what the requirements are for those units (type of house, height and setback restrictions, etc.).Then I'd find out what local builders think the cost to construct would be - just get a cost estimate per square foot for 2 or 3 different levels of finish.

Good Day all,I have a property in Macon GA , a 1/4 acre of land with a house and a shed (brick foundation, wooden frame).  I'm considering converting the shed into a DADU to maximize the use of the space and earn some...

I would assume any halfway intelligent human being would understand we mean "shut and lock" but maybe I assume too much. 

The current use of the property as a two-family dwelling significantly impacts its value and marketability, which is distinct from single-family homes.The initial appraisal comparing your property to single-family homes is likely an oversight, as multifamily properties are evaluated differently due to factors like rental income potential and investor interest.

Humans are highly influenced by recency bias thus the cash vs equity conversation swings back and forth.

If you are unable or unwilling to do so we may elect to terminate the lease and request a return of our deposit--which we offered in a good faith agreement that we would be presented with a habitable dwelling--and our prorated rent.

You look at the house, look left around neighborhood, look right, and just tour at a normal human speed looking around exactly as any person coming to tour would. 

Fact is our human spawl has gotten to a point that we build in volume in places that are catastrophe prone.

Deposits from the tenant.Security deposits from the tenant in residential dwelling units shall be deposited in a trust account with a licensed and federally insured depository institution lawfully doing business in this State or the landlord may, at his option, furnish a bond from an insurance company licensed to do business in North Carolina.

Quote from @John Williams: I recently bought a home that has an attached dwelling unit where Im planning to move in and rent out the main unit.
