Well Gang, I have decided to pull the trigger, as long as financing goes through, and build a backyard cottage, Detached Accessory Dwelling Unit (DADU), tiny house. Why? Why not! Also, housing is Seattle is overpriced and lame. I am going to be part of the solution. I have two renters in my house right now AND they are great AND I will, at some point, move back into my house BUT want to keep my awesome renters so...I will put one of them in my back yard unit at an affordable cost! Plus, new legislation in Seattle allows for me to sell my DADU some day. That's right...I can sell that little back yard house! San Francisco and Portland have been doing this for years so it can be done and be done successfully. The way I see it, if at some point in time I need some weird form of chemo I can only get in Germany and need to raise funds I can sell my little DADU and still have a place to live in the main house. This will be a short term headache (construction) with a long term benefit (another asset.)
A buddy suggested I blog about my process as she believes there are other people out there who would like to do this and have no idea where to start. Feel free to follow along with my process and all of the tears and joys that will go along with it!
