My home is in a residential neighborhood. Is it possible to rent out a studio apt. on my property as if it were a hotel?

First you will need to find out the zoning laws in your town and area. As far as renting out a studio apt...I don't see why not..However a bed and breakfast is slightly different. And a bit more involved. A bed and breakfast is considered a business and therefore there are alot of thing to consider. If you are truly interested. Start going to B&Bs in your area. Ask questions. see how much work is involved. Taxes, insurance etc etc. But if you only have one room to "rent" then I really dont see it as a problem as that isnt really considered a Bed and breakfast. Lots of people rent rooms from there home weekly monthly and sometimes even daily. So I would proceed ahead until someone tells you otherwise. Check with your home owners insurance as well. Just to make sure you are covered in case of an accident.
Be careful how you advertise...I wouldn't advertise as a Bed and breakfast...advertise as room/ studio apt for rent. Keep it simple.
Also...get with a local real estate agent who can help get you established and someone that can refer perspective "renters" to you. Do as much research as possible and never be afraid to ask question of people who run the same type of buisness.
Good luck!

Were are you located? Is it accessible to buses ? Am looking for a place in San Diego! I had stayed there for 3 months. Presently I am here in the Philippines! I will be back there early next year!
