As professional developers and ambitious property owners seek ways to profit from real estate, they will often look at options to convert lots with a single home into real estate that allows for the sale of multiple homes or multi-family developments. In other words, they try to create “more bang for their buck”, so to speak. Such entrepreneurial spirits have multiple options to accomplish their goals.
While subdivision certainly presents one way of creating and selling additional housing from a purchased lot (and often a desirable one!), sometimes the requirements for subdivision render the process overcomplicated or even impossible. Other times, a property owner wishes to build one or more Detached Accessory Dwelling Units (DADUs) and sell them off separately but cannot place each on a separate lot.
