This is happening everywhere, land scams! Working with a reputable real estate agent and reputable escrow office helps to protect both Buyers AND Sellers.

As of March 2026, Fannie Mae loans allow rental income from an accessory dwelling unit to count toward a borrower's qualifying income. This gives buyers a purchasing boost!

Here's what that looks like in practice. A buyer is purchasing a home with a detached guest house. The projected rent from that unit, even without a lease in place yet, can now be factored into what they qualify for.

For buyers who've been coming up just short, this changes the math. The property needs to be a one-unit primary residence. Only one ADU's income can be counted. And the income is capped at 30% of total
qualifying income. Want to talk to a lender about how this changes your buying power? I know several great lenders!
