My wife just got a job offer in Maine (we currently live on the west coast). It pays pretty well and would be a new adventure for her. But she's leaving the security of a state job and I have to start looking for a job for me. I have a question about houses in New England (and this can be ALL over the map, I understand). While we are looking, how much does it cost (and how much of a pain in the arse is it) to finish a basement as a mother-in-law unit (maybe 1200 sq.ft.? I guess pain in the butt is the real concern. Anybody done this? Thoughts?

start on Zillow. Most existing will have a finished basement

Basements are very common in the North east. Maine is very diverse, ranging from outer Boston in the south to backwoods in the east. I think you will find housing vastly cheaper than CA. We lived in Bangor for 3 years and loved it. Winters will be cold, but summers are so mild that A/C is uncommon

Ooh, ooh. You can get Maine Cabin Masters to renovate an old cabin into a gaming retreat and we can all come visit!
