Secondary Dwelling Unit | Build or legalize your accessory dwelling unit in California

Recent changes in California have given the residents in our state a great opportunity to build a secondary dwelling unit, now officially called Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs,) that can be rented out behind any Single Family Dwelling in residential zones.

The City of Los Angeles building department will allow Accessory Dwelling Units up to 1,200 square feet. These units can be rented out and will have their own separate address and utility meters, in effect turning a single family residence into a multi-family income generating property.

How much does it cost?

All projects are different from their location, size, structure condition. We will consider the most common versions.

Garage conversion: Cost directly depends on garage location, style, condition, and size. More inexpensive conversion is attached to garages, because utilities already exist. Based on our experience attached 400 Sq.Ft. garage conversion will cost from $40000.00 to $65000.00.

A detached garage conversion will cost from 15% to 20% more. It depends on how far away a utility connection is.

New ADU construction: The cost of a new accessory dwelling unit construction is very dependent on location. The first factor is if it is on flat land or on a slope. How far are utility connections, which floor and of course how many SQ FT will be built? Because of construction booming in Los Angeles, today price will vary from $140.00 to $175.00 per square fitt. Architectural and city fees included in this price.

How much can I earn from ADU?

As with all investments, the larger the investment, the greater the profit. Unlike all investments, in this case, you get double income on the price of every dollar invested. First, your property (in Los Angeles) value goes up at list 50% on added square footage. The second you have a stable monthly cash income. Plus a 3% rent increase every year.

Today’s low percentage of bank financing makes this type of investment more attractive. According to some economists, this is the most secure and profitable investment today market.

Ask a Question

Can I Build an ADU on my property?

According to the 2020 Accessory Dwelling Units regulation, any property located in a single or multi-family zone can build an ADU depending on lot size, location, and condition. ADU can be a part of the existing house, conversion of a garage or other structure or build a new structure. The size and number of ADU units can be different. It depends on property zoning and location.
