Consider an accessory dwelling unit (ADU): If your property allows for it, building an ADU (like a small apartment or guest house) can provide a separate rental unit while you live in the main house.2.

Here's some input to help guide the decision between selling or renting the property, considering the specifics of the property and the potential additions like the ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit):1.

For instance, properties with an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) on the lot that can be implemented as a long-term or short-term rental can perform exceptionally well.

But then spend a day in craft and antique shops nearby and buy colorful artwork, accessories, throws etc. to give the space a local vibe.

For what it's worth, I found this on the HCD site under Accessory Dwelling Unit Technical Assistance memo dated Jan 10, 2020.

In the application, I ask if they smoke or vape.

•Gear-Friendly Accessories: I provide rain ponchos, umbrellas, and even color-coded towels for drying off pets at the door.

I've had pretty good success the last couple years with a combination of house hacking and building Accessory Dwelling Units.

For example, buying a triplex and converting the garage into a four plex and converting it to an Accessory Dwelling Unit.

If my property is a duplex, I'm assuming I can add the 3rd unit as an Accessory Dwelling?
