Live in one unit , rent out other unit and accessory unit, mortgage on the property would be about $6800, rental income would be : $3000 from additional unit , and $1500 from accessory unit and I would be occupying one unit , leaving me at negative $2300 per month .

@Dan TannerDogs $100 monthlyCats $50 monthly (& I like them way less)Smokers, (& vape) outside only.

Toys, lawn accessories, garbage, etc. are constantly found.

Not sure if this is the right spot to post but here goes.Just went under contract on a sfr with a non attached Accessory Dwelling Unit 1 bedroom cottage in the very back of property.

. - Shop around for furniture and items, again I was in a rush to get mine ready but go to clearance sections of furniture stores and get accessories from like a Goodwill. 

(It will take another year or so before I can show a solid rental history on my first rental purchased last year; until then I won't qualify for another mortgage).I started construction on an accessory dwelling unit in my back yard, a carriage house (aka a large shed) that will become a not-so-tiny house.

Aware of any split unit system that has a motion sensor accessory that would turn-off system when unit is vacant?

We call it ADU here (accessory dwelling unit).

You have to use mother in law suite, accessory dwelling unit or similiar term and check your local regulations.

The lenders I have spoken with indicate if appraised as a one unit with accessory, it will work well.
