Question 1

Should I add a rental unit to my house plan?

Accepted Answer

Only if separate access, privacy, utilities, parking, local demand, approvals, and budget fit are clear. Compare family-only and rental options first.

Question 2

Does a rental unit increase construction cost?

Accepted Answer

Usually yes, because separate kitchens, bathrooms, services, access, and finishes can add scope. The compare tool can show the estimated cost difference.

Question 3

Can MyHousePlanner calculate rental income?

Accepted Answer

Not as a final income projection. It scores rental potential for planning and comparison, while actual rent must be verified locally.
