Introduction by Kellie Speed | Realtor.com
Many homebuyers can’t wait to show off their new abodes to their relatives, friends, and loved ones—but there are a number of instances when the arrival of a guest isn’t quite so welcome, particularly if that guest is planning a lengthy stay.
Having someone new in your home can feel invasive, while the guest might be experience discomfort at the idea of invading another person’s space.
Thankfully, there are a number of properties on the market that come complete with features that are tailor made for this kind of situation—specifically, listings that include detached dwellings known as accessory dwelling units (ADUs) or in-law suites.
These separate abodes are often set up to serve as their own tiny home, featuring bathrooms, kitchen appliances, and even living spaces—making them ideal for anyone who needs to house a relative or friend for the long term.
But what makes these petite properties all the more appealing is their potential as a money-making enterprise, with many ADUs serving as ideal rental properties that can be used as an additional form of income.
