A backyard home or office can increase the value of your existing property, well beyond the cost of constructing the backyard home or office. This valuation can increase significantly over time as land and building costs increase.

It is often said a person's home is their most important asset. However, it does generate any revenue until it is sold. A backyard home changes this dynamic, giving homeowners a source of income from land they already own. This includes long-term or short-term (e.g., Airbnb) renters. Depending on the rental market, backyard homes can generate returns over 10% in the first year. Unlock your land’s earning potential with a backyard home.

The way Americans live is changing.  Outside forces like increased housing costs, long commutes, high student loans, divorce, loss of a loved one, and multi-generational living trends are bringing families together.  These changes have not altered people’s desire for privacy, and often times the adjacency of a bedroom is too close.  A backyard home gives families the opportunity to balance communal living and privacy.

A person's family is their most important asset.  A backyard home gives families the opportunity to care for loved ones while maintaining the privacy only a home can provide.  Loved ones in need of extra care can maintain their independence, and save families thousands of dollars that would otherwise go to an adult care facility.  Owning a backyard home is one of the rare instances where you can invest in your family while investing in your property.

If you own a rental home, adding a backyard home can significantly increase your cash flow and rate of return.  Depending on the rental market, annual returns can exceed 10% in the first year, and climb thereafter in a rising rental market.  The addition of a backyard home can also increase your rental property’s value.  Building and renting a backyard home on land that isn’t generating a return is a great way to expand your rental portfolio and cash flow.

Renting a backyard home provides a great source of revenue during retirement.  Alternatively, if you are looking to downsize, move to your new backyard home and rent your existing house.  Either approach is a way to generate revenue from your home will continuing to reap the benefits (appreciation) of home ownership.
