We help many of our clients add value to their real estate by taking advantage of California’s lenient and always-changing laws & regulations of adding ADU’s to their properties. Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU’s) are a great way to increase housing opportunities to renters while also increasing property values by adding more square footage, bedrooms, bathrooms, and/or units to the title of their property. In addition to increasing property value and utilizing unused space, ADU’s have become a great way to generate passive income by renting the ADU to a market rate tenant.

ADU’s are allowed at single family homes, apartment buildings, and commercial properties. Many of our clients are adding ADU’s at their primary residences by converting garages and empty space into an ADU, and our clients adding ADU’s at their apartment and commercial buildings are converting existing tuck-under parking, backyard empty space, storage units, garages and utility rooms into an ADU!

Not interested in having a renter at your primary residence? ADU’s have lots of flexibility beyond just renting! Moving a family member into the ADU, keeping it vacant for flex space or for future visitors to stay in, using it as an office or rec room, using it as an entertainment area opened to the backyard, or just keeping it as a designated and separate area for kids to be with their friends are just a few ways our clients are using their ADU’s!

Want to rent the ADU at your primary residence for the income, but don’t want to lose the privacy you currently have? Leave it to us! We’ve designed many backyard ADU’s with separate and private entry ways for the tenants to give them, and you, the privacy you desire.

There are many different local jurisdictions with different requirements and ordinances, so call us today so we can begin the consultation!
