Fourteen months and no reply, so perhaps I should try again!
We have some preliminary design sketches that include an in law unit with its own entrance. We're thinking of this as a potential place for a caretaker.
My question, how do you go about finding a good caretaker and what is the typical financial arrangement? We would use the place about 3 months out of the year so we need a trustworthy person there when we're gone. I am assuming that they live there rent free and do light gardening to keep the landscaping under control. Is that reasonable?
