Help! Converting a Workshop/Garage into an Apartment Unit

All,

I currently live on 5 acres of land with my home towards the front of the property and a 960 square foot workshop/garage about 160 feet behind my house. The workshop/garage has gas, electric, water & sewer running to it all metered as part of my home (Not separate). 

My father and I are considering converting this workshop/garage into a rental apartment since it is just sitting there not being used for anything.

What are some potential issues you see with this idea? I specifically have questions about:

  • Rental Inspections
  • Insurance/Insurability
  • Setting up an Address for the apt (123 Main Rd A & 123 Main Rd B?)

All of your help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.
