We sold our home and built a beautiful inlaw onto our daughter and her family's home in MA.

It's working out very well and a tremendous savings since we no longer pay utilities or real estate taxes or upkeep. Family feels that us adding the inlaw has increased the value of their home so that they wouldn't hear of us paying utilities, etc.

We stay in the inlaw summers and TV winters. Best of both worlds.
