Cohousing-L Mailing List: re:Experience with Rental units?

[Bobi Wilson (bobi.scott]

We at Yellow Plum Commons in SE Washington State are so early in our process I 
can't say we have any "experience" to share, but we'd like to offer rental 
possibilities as well.  

We hope mother-in-law or care-giver quarters (acceptable in our zoning) will be 
the answer. Basically, the zoning specifies - if the space is attached to the 
main house, has it's own entry and kitchen/bath amenities it can be rented out. 
 

If a number of our units have these additional "suites" we think it will 
provide a very versatile space not only for renting but other transitional life 
needs as well.

I offer it up as an idea as well as open it up to anyone with 
experience/knowledge in this kind of option.

Hello from Grand Rapids, Michigan!

Our co-housing group will be participating in a design charette very soon
and are looking into the options/possibilities related to having rental
units within the community or having the cohousing members support rentals
surrounding co-housing neighborhood.If you have any experience in this
area and are willing to share that information it would be much
appreciated.

Thanks.
Anita
