[quote=Anonymous]Hi all-
We will be starting the first-time homebuyer process within the next 6 months.
Can anyone tell me their experiences with an in-law apartment?

Without getting too much into detail, both DH and I assume our MIL will need to move in with us in 5-10 years.  Actually living with us (in the same home) is not an option (I just can't), but we aren't rich and can't afford an entirely separate home/apartment for her.  I am thinking our only option is finding a home with an in-law apartment.
I am thinking that if we purchase a home with this "in law" apartment, we could potentially rent it out for 5-10 years until she needs to move in.  Is this possible?  I just picture an in-law apartment being an extension from the home, or even a finished basement with a separate entrance, both scenarios create this too-intimate picture for me, and I don't know that I could be comfortable with renters that close to us.
Basically, I would love to make this work for us if it's in our future anyways.

I think I am just seeking encouragement, stories, example of how this has worked for any families.

Thank you.
