builng a rental on my property

[Martyna Ladnowska]

Hello,

I live in La Mesa California and I own a house on 1/2 acre. I would like to build a rental house or duplex on my property, on the street side (not on back of my house). I am getting different advises, some people thing I should not build on property that I own and where I reside because it would increase my property taxes and it would attach me to the rental property (meaning I would be personally responsible for any losses).

What are your opinions?

Thank you,

Martyna
