Currently renting and thinking of offering to buy an unused part of the property off the landlord to build a tiny house on. What would the steps be to accomplish this? How could I find out whether the new plot would be buildable?

There's an extra concrete driveway adjacent to my current rental that the landlord says we aren't allowed to use. He was thinking of putting a tiny home on it himself, but he's super disorganized and I doubt he'll ever get around to it. It got me thinking, though, that I should offer to buy that area off him and just build something on it myself.

I'm totally new to this, but owning a tiny/affordable home in an urban area has always been something of a dream of mine, so I'm curious to see if there's an opportunity here.

Thank you everyone in advance!

EDIT: To clarify, this would require splitting the property into two APNs as the driveway is currently part of the property that contains house I am renting. The driveway is roughly 20'x40'.

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
