Don’t Rent, Rent Out!

By Bonnie Roseman, March 28, 2018

From renters to soon-to-be landlords

Long term renters spend a lot of money funding their landlord’s investment instead of their own. In today’s market it is so tough to get a foothold and purchase a first home, let alone to consider purchasing income property. Accessory dwelling units (ADUs) offer an innovative way to add to your income while securing your own pad. Tom and April were willing to put in some elbow grease to make the most of their resources. They had the vision to see the potential in an older home with an existing ADU in the basement, located in the burgeoning St. John’s area. This neighborhood has a great Farmers’ Market, as well as some of my favorite vegan eateries: The Sudra and Homegrown Smoker.

Tom is one of my go-to home inspectors at NonProfit Home Inspections. I am always especially honored when people in the housing industry choose me to be their agent. His knowledge and experience with dwellings and construction and April’s keen sense of color, design and style, have me eager to see how they will bring this home back to life.  The added income they will generate by renting out their ADU will enhance their lives and help pay for improvements for these new homeowners.
