A “cottage cluster” is a group of four or more detached housing units not larger than 900 square feet that share a common courtyard.26 By June 30, 2021, the Portland Metropolitan area and cities with a population greater than 25,000 must allow cottage clusters on land zoned for residential use within the urban growth boundary.” 

Looking at a property semi detached both units under one ownership in Hamilton Ontario, arguably one of the best neighbourhood, both units are currently rented out for $2500 a piece and they each pay own utilities. this would be a long term investment.. my daughter goes to school in this district and this is the neighbourhood we want to be in at 850k and one unit rented for $2500 it would cost me approx $3300 a month.. is this worth it for a house hack in the area you want to be in ??

Here’s the situation:We own a detached home with 2 units, consisting of a legal 2-bedroom basement and a 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom upper floor.

I’m no longer a fitness instructor and I’m full time running our Airbnb business and I know I can achieve my goal of being a millionaire by 35 yr. old.It wasn’t always easy and it certainly wasn’t “passive” but just like any business, you go through those pain points and obstacles to develop your product, systems and services so that you are able to create the lifestyle you want.

Tub & Surround Replacement - depends, as long as you do not have an obstacle such as a window to work around this is not a bad solution, but also has some challenges to consider, will require new plumbing fixture likely, may require wall repair of new fixture location, may require plumbing work for new mixing valve (depends on brand and condition) - again still no clear information on whats behind the walls - Personally do not love the surrounds, they get beat up and used up, eventually they need to be replaced again - it just depends, but everything with rental just depends. 

I actually converted the detached garage into an ADU while living in the main home.

BP is a great place to ask for advice as you encounter obstacles along the way.

Undaunted we did not settle into paying more than what we wanted or knew a house was worth, and kept looking for that ideal first home; a flip that had rental potential in the form of a detached building we could convert to a rental, an unfinished basement, etc.

Also Fannie Mae just introduced 5% down payments for owner-occupied 2-, 3-, and 4-unit homes.2) Home with attached or detached casitas These types of homes are popular in Southern California and you're able to live in the main room and rent out the casita. 

To be clear, I’m not talking about converting a detached garage.
