[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Zoning alert! Are you sure your area will allow it? A lot of places forbid creating what is, essentially, another apartment in a lot zoned for a single family.

Make sure you can even do this.[/quote]

We are thinking of buying a house with a detached garage with an apartment over it.  We thought it would be a nice option in case we could switch from our nanny arrangement to an au pair arrangement.

My DH had the idea that, instead of buying a different house, we could just renovate our house and then build a detached garage with an apartment above it.

We live in Bethesda.  I thought I had read a year or so ago that MoCo was trying to make housing more affordable by allowing home-owners to have a tenant without having to go through a lengthy approval process.  Is that still the case?

(This makes me realize I need to completely check out this house we are considering buying.  We thought it was a great advantage that it had a detached garage and apartment above it.  If anything, we'd love it for when my in-laws come, assuming we did not have an au pair.)[/quote]

As long as they don't have issues climbing stairs.  [/quote]
