Increase Property Value and Potential Resale Value

One of the most common reasons homeowners build an ADU is to increase the value of their property. The amount of money required to construct the ADU can be minuscule in comparison to the value added to the overall property.Adding a new separate living structure to your property can bring a much larger buyer pool to the table.  Potential buyers may also be willing to offer a much higher price knowing that they will be able to offset their mortgage payment with income generated by the ADU.

Private Guest Accommodations

When family or guests are in town for extended periods of time, having separate private accommodations outside of the main house gives privacy to both parties.  Having a separate kitchen, living space and bedroom for your guests allows minimal disruption in your daily routine.If you have elderly parents or grandparents, a separate ADU allows you to spend time together, while still maintaining your own schedule. This option is often much more attractive than putting them in assisted living.

Rental Income – Short Term & Long Term

Having an ADU on your property allows you to generate supplemental income.  You can either generate long-term reoccurring rental income or short-term rental income… the choice is yours.

Low-Cost Housing for Children

In California where the cost of living is exceptionally high, having an ADU on your property can be a great place for your children to stay while attending college and/or just getting on their feet.  This can be a great steppingstone during the transitional times in their lives.<br />Separate Space to Work, Study or PlayUsing an ADU as an office, workshop or even a studio for the arts can enhance your productivity, creativity, and focus.  It will also eliminate the wasted time and costs of commuting.
