Do your own homework and going over comps on like for like units and Square footage is key.Thanks

If you buy it in your name, there is a nice home business expense that is based on the square footage. 

While this is ongoing, read up on tenant screening, start coming up with a new lease so new leases cover 1/4 of utilities, billed as part of following month's rent, or set cost based on square footage built into new rent, if area will support higher rents. 

Once you mess with the structure, add more square footage, or do something zoning has to review then you might need an architect and other professionals.

They could require a certain square footage, a security system, they could require you to be a certain distance from the business, wifi, cable, certain size bed/s, any number of things. 

in terms of sq footage or acreage? 

With companies realizing that their employees can work from home, more are opting to reduce their square footage significantly. 

So if both units are equal square footage (or close to it), split the heating bill 50:50. 

That's a pretty general question, suggest you provide more detail on your project, i.e. square footage, what's the specific scope of what you want done (does GC drywall?
