If you are part of an Involuntary Homeowners Association, especially if you are in a gated community, check the covenants for limitations on running a business from your home. And, for heaven's sake, stage it!

In real estate it is all about location, location, location. If you happen to own a home in state where that is legal, and the zoning supports it, it would probably increase your value.... but if you intend to do this in a location where it is not legal, and there are tough zoing inspectors you will probably decrease your value,

You could replace brothel with any of a hundred words, and the answer will be the same.

I really like Pat's idea of the dual income business--half women and half weed. You could add a drive up window for quick pick ups of product and maximize your exposure with limitless opportunities for cross marketing between the two groups of customers. Brilliant!

LOL. If it being sold as commercial you could get a higher appraisal for it. If you are going to take this approach, you might as well grow WEED to make it really cash flow. LOL

You might want to forgo the red lights and the naked ladies in the windows You wouldn't want to bring down the value of all the foreclosed homes in the neighborhood.

As the $$ flow would increase so dramatically, perhaps it doesn't matter the actual value of the building does.
