The basement unit is at "best" an "accessory dwelling unit," but even if the appraiser had called it that, the loan application would have been denied because none of the agencies (Fannie, FHA, Freddie, etc) will lend on 2-4 unit real estate that also has an ADU - they only acknowledge the existence of SFRs with ADUs.

I am planning on converting part of my new primary home into an accessory apartment and renting it out.

I believe they did recently pass legislature in NH for accessory dwelling units or "in-law apartments" that you are allowed by right to do so no matter what local by-laws say, but you still have to go through the town/City and I believe it only applies to owner occupied situations.Hope that's helpful!

You can not convert 1 unit to 2, nor have an accessory dwelling apartment in the subject county.

- Get rid of all personal items and all family pictures (just neutral furniture and accessories)- Turn on lights before every showing- Open blinds before every showing- Create a flyer with all positive attributes of the house/neighborhood/area/etc- Make sure it smells nice- Paint your front door (it's the first thing the buyer will notice of the "interior"- Leave on a stereo or iPod with speakers playing some soothing/popular music

I own and run a small motorcycle accessories store and have since 2006.

This would include furniture for every room, pictures, accessories, etc. -- including kitchen and bathrooms.If you shop around, you can probably purchase a house full of staging materials for about $2500-3000 -- but you'll need to do the work yourself and move it from house to house.

My understanding is one can legally build an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) on land zoned for SFR.

Hi BP, I'm in contract to buy my first 4-plex, which has 2 underused accessory buildings that I would like to turn into money makers.

I went to see a house today that I plan on wholesale, the guy has his friend renovating the place (its not occupied) -The guy thats renovating says estimates are about $10k remaining repairs-The homeowner says he owns the bank $280k-Also says based on tax accessor is $370k (we all know thats an estimate)-His asking price is $400kAs far as the ARV I'm going to check Agentpro247.com it does show comps that sold.All advice or insight is gladly appreciated.
