To In-Law Suite or Not?

Homes With Grandparent's-Suites
Home owners write in to RealEstateJournal.com for advice on what to do with the grandparent's suite on their lower level. Will it help or hinder sale of their house in the future? Should they convert the kitchen to a vanity area? "Gopal Ahluwalia, director of research for the National Association of Home Builders, says the trade group's surveys show that 59% of buyers prefer a first-floor master suite to a second-floor one. But that leaves a substantial minority, 41%, who want a second-floor one."

What's your opinion?
