🐾🏡 HARLEY’S HOME TIPS #36 🚨 WAIT… THAT GUESTHOUSE MIGHT NOT BE A LEGAL HOME!

You found the perfect property!

🏡 Beautiful main house

🌲 Great backyard

🏠 Separate guesthouse

💰 Maybe even rental income potential!

Sounds like a dream, right?

But here’s what Harley wants you to know…

JUST BECAUSE IT HAS A KITCHEN, BATHROOM, AND BEDROOM DOESN’T MEAN IT’S APPROVED AS A RESIDENCE!

Before buying a property with an ADU, guesthouse, converted garage, or second living space, investigate:

✅ PERMITS: Was it approved for residential occupancy?

✅ ZONING: Is your intended use allowed?

✅ RENTALS: Can it legally be rented?

✅ SEPTIC & UTILITIES: Can the systems support it?

✅ FINANCING: Will the lender and appraiser recognize the unit as expected?

✅ INSURANCE: Is the additional structure and its intended use covered?

🐶 HARLEY SAYS:

“Don’t buy two homes on paper and discover you really bought one home and a fancy shed!”

THE PRETTIEST PROPERTY ISN’T ALWAYS THE SMARTEST PURCHASE.

That’s why Stephen and I believe in looking beyond the pictures and asking the questions that matter.

Buying in Southwest Washington or Northwest Oregon?

Let’s make sure your dream property fits your actual plans.
