Maybe some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/buyer-how-to-rent-your-house\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rental income<\/span><\/a> from short-term vacationers is appealing, or you\u2019d like a new home gym or office.<\/p>\n<p>Consider converting existing space in your house or constructing an addition to create a mother-in-law suite (also known as an accessory dwelling unit or \u201cADU\u201d) that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/cheap-ways-to-increase-home-values\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">adds value to your home<\/span><\/a> and generates rental income. Maybe your home already has an ADU and you\u2019re curious, but either way you\u2019d like to know: how much value does a mother-in-law suite add?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"geo-cta widget-cta widget-cta--content     widget-cta--dark widget-cta--dark-blue-gradient\">\n    <div class=\"widget-element--content\">\n        <div class=\"widget-element--content-header\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"homelight logo\" class=\"widget-element--logo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/ccprototypev5\/images\/logo-small-cta.png\" width=\"106\" height=\"25\" \/>\n        <\/div>\n        \n                <h3 class=\"cta-headline widget--bold\">Get an Estimate on Your Home's Value<\/h3>\n                        <p>Our Home Value Estimator is a great starting point for getting a sense of how much your house is worth.

Rising real estate prices have made ADUs more common in certain markets where affordable housing is difficult to find, while the pandemic created more interest in having extra space at home.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve seen record prices and some people are just getting priced out of homeownership or making decisions because of financing,\u201d says Rick Ruiz, a top real estate agent in Southern Nevada. An ADU provides the solution when family members team up and purchase a house together.<\/p>\n<p>A smaller, independent residential structure on the same lot as a single-family home <a href=\"https:\/\/myhome.freddiemac.com\/blog\/homeownership\/should-i-add-adu-my-home\">qualifies as an ADU as long as it has a separate entrance, kitchen, and bathroom<\/a>, according to Freddie Mac.<\/p>\n<p>All types of ADUs have the same address as the main dwelling. An interior conversion transforms the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/buyer-what-does-frog-mean-in-real-estate\/\">basement, attic, or unused room<\/a> into living space. The in-law suite can be attached to the main house such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/cost-to-add-a-second-story\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a second story addition<\/span><\/a> or apartment built on top of the garage. A detached ADU is usually located in the backyard and is a separate structure from the primary residence.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When building an addition
