ADU – What Are They, and How Do They Work? [Accessory Dwelling Units]
So many people are getting into the concept of building or investing in Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), but they run up against the same problem: local building regulations. Ryan O’Connell saw a gap in the market and transitioned from being a wine expert to an ADU expert and today he runs a successful consulting business, How To ADU, where he gives advice on how to renovate or build yourself a functional and profitable ADU.
On this episode of the Investor Financing Podcast, Ryan walks Beau through the legal definition of an ADU and a Junior ADU and lays out some of the elements you need to consider if you’re starting an ADU project. You’ll learn about your options for turning your garage into a short-term rental property, whether you should do a conversion or a construction ADU, and which cities in the Bay Area have the most ADU-friendly zoning policies.
If you’re exploring the concept of ADUs as an investment or a construction project, this episode is a must-listen. You can find more great content from Beau and his guests by subscribing or following the Investor Financing Podcast.
