At Eddie Design & Remodeling, we are the professional choice when it comes to home additions. Today we wanted to share with you 3 ways to use a home addition as a rental in Los Gatos, San Jose, Campbell, Sunnyvale and surrounding areas in the bay. Yes - money back in your pocket.

1. Studio Apartment

Creating a self-contained studio apartment in the home addition, complete with a kitchenette, bathroom and living space. This could be rented out as a short-term rental or as a long-term rental.

The demand for living in the bay area has increased over the past year as individuals return back to work after the pandemic.

2. Vacation Rental / Airbnb

Turning the home addition into a vacation rental or AirBnb is also a great idea. We recommended including a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living space. You can include access to backyard for better aesthetics and happiness. Guests could rent the space for a few nights or weeks at a time.

Over 54 million people visited the bay area in 2022 alone and over 17.5 billion was spent by the visitors! It’s safe to say the demand and spending is there for visitors.

3. Work Space

Renters could use the space as an office, studio, or workspace. This could be rented on a daily or monthly basis. There’s a huge demand for renting office spaces in the bay area due to it freeing up working capital for small businesses. This is the reason you’ve read so many multi-billion dollar companies were started in garages or small office spaces.
