Why Everyone Wants One

• House Hacking: Live in one unit, rent the other, and have your tenant pay half your mortgage.
• Multi-Generational Living: Perfect for families who want to keep parents close while maintaining separate entrances.
• Flexibility: In 2025, the ability to pivot between a single-family use and a rental income stream is a massive financial safety net.
