Does a rental unit increase what my McClellanville house is worth?

A rental unit adds value to a McClellanville house when local demand and lease income exceed what a single-family buyer would otherwise pay, which is not guaranteed in a small, rural market like McClellanville's. Because McClellanville has a limited comp set, an extra unit's effect on price has to be checked against the handful of similar sales that actually closed nearby, not assumed. Brian Beatty compares rented and non-rented McClellanville properties directly before pricing one with a second unit.
