ADU’s– “Accessory Dwelling Units”  are the new rage among San Diego homeowners. This is primarily due to recent legislative changes that have made it much faster, easier (and cheaper) for homeowners to build ADU’s on their property.

Benefits of Building an ADU

Adding an ADU on your property is a very safe and wise investment! It increases space and can create a great source of rental income each month. There are numerous other benefits to adding an ADU to your property. Here are just a few:

Added Square Footage
An ADU can add more living space and provide additional flexibility for family members who may need a temporary place to stay. As a bonus, the added square footage is sure to give your home’s value a significant bump in value. It’s been estimated that if built correctly you can get up to twice or even three times your money back that it took to build the unit when you decide to sell your home. You can build a detached ADU or convert a garage into one.

Great Rental Income!

Many are using the rental income that they get from an ADU to offset their mortgage payment on their main home or to cover their living costs when they retire. Due to the rising rent prices, you could be getting up to $2,000 - $3,000 per month or more in rental income.
