5 Things You Need to Know Before You Buy a Home With a Guest House

5 Things You Need to Know Before You Buy a Home With a Guest House

If you’re buying a home for sale on 30A, you’ll see some that have guest houses – but are they the right choice for you?

Buying a Home With a Guest House? 5 Things You Need to Know First

A home with a guest house can be a wonderful investment, but only if you know what you’re getting into. Here’s what you need to remember:

  1. Renting it out as a vacation rental can have financial benefits, but it has tax implications, as well.
  2. The guest house must have had the proper permits before it was built. If it didn’t, your transaction could fall through – or you may end up having to tear it down.
  3. You’ll likely need a different type of mortgage with a guest house that you intend to rent out. Same with insurance!
  4. Don’t forget that you’ll be sharing your yard space with guests.
  5. Look into whether you’ll have to combine the guest house’s utility bills with your primary home’s utility bills or you can separate them out – you might end up paying more than you thought you would.
