ADU costs, like almost everything over the past two years, have gone up in price. Whether it be your materials, your labor, your permits, or your holding time, building an accessory dwelling unit is pricier than it used to be. But, it can get even pricier if you don’t know your local zoning laws, many of which can make or break the process of building an ADU. If you want the extra income of an accessory dwelling unit, you’ll need to understand your local laws, so you can not only profit but prosper in this real estate investing niche.
Our go-to guy on all things ADU, Derek Sherrell (That ADU Guy), has been building ADUs for years now. He’s made mistakes, like every rookie has, but wants to make sure you don’t stumble in the same places he did. Derek’s biggest piece of advice if you want to keep your ADU costs low is simple—become an expert on the ADU code in your city!
Derek walks through a few of his most recent ADU builds, from standalone new construction units to detached barn cabins and garage conversions. He runs through the cost, design, and livability in each unit so you can inspire your next ADU after one of his home run builds!
