20 January 2025 | 16 replies
However, after receiving the survey results, I discovered that the house is located less than 1 foot over the sublot line (see attached image).Here are the options I’m considering:Rent the current house for market value (~$1,500–1,600/month) and convert the detached garage into an ADU to rent for ~$1,000/month.Relocate the house to split the lot, then sell the newly created lot (~$100,000) while renting out the existing house.Relocate the house to split the lot and build a new home on the second lot.Demolish the current house and garage, split the lot, and build two new homes.At this time, I am uncertain about the cost of relocating the house.Questions for the community:Has anyone faced a similar situation?
