In this episode we talk about financing ADU (accessory dwelling units) in California. This is a hot emerging trend happening throughout California.
While California already made huge strides in 2017 with favorable Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) legislation, a new series of state bills, further lower barriers to creating ADUs, aka Granny Flats.
Summary of New ADU Rules in California:
Faster ADU plan review times.

With all of these favorable changes you can expect to see a continued boom in the California market and beyond.

How the SBA 504 Loan Program Works
SBAEXCHANGE.COM will coordinate and structure the financing package between the parties. The 504 loan consists of a conventional first mortgage, typically for 50 percent of the project cost, from a third-party lender. The SBA -backed portion of the 504 loan will be a second mortgage, financing up to 40 percent of eligible project costs. The remaining 10 percent will be your small business owner contribution. Under certain circumstances, you may be required to contribute up to 20 percent of the total project cost.*
Expand Your Possibilities The U.S. Small Business Administration 504 Certified Development Company Loan program conserves your working capital by requiring only a 10 percent borrower contribution.* If you do not qualify for conventional financing, the SBA-backed 504 loan may be right for you. Certified Development Companies (CDCs) are nonprofit corporations that promote economic development within their communities through 504 loans. The SBA authorizes CDCs to provide financing to small businesses with the help of third-party lenders (typically banks). Maximum SBA loan amount: Loans are generally capped at $5 million. Certain eligible energy-efficient or manufacturing projects may qualify for more than one 504 loan up to $5.5 million each. Interest rate: Below-market interest rates are fixed for the life of the loan. Required equity: A low down payment (10 percent in most cases) conserves your working capital. Terms: 10, 20 or 25 year terms Use of proceeds: Long-term, fixed assets for expansion or modernization (usually real estate or large equipment). Refinancing of large equipment and/or owner-occupied commercial real estate.
*Startup and special-purpose properties may require an additional contribution from the borrowers
