The Beginner's Guide to ADU Investing (Accessory Dwelling Units)

ADUs (accessory dwelling units/attached dwelling units) are becoming more and more popular as housing costs and rents rise. ADUs provide homeowners a way to offset their monthly mortgage cost by renting out a separate property, all without needing to comply with multifamily zoning laws. You’ve probably seen ADUs before, either as garage conversions, attic conversions, walled-off master bedrooms, or small studios in the backyard.

Derek Sherrell, commonly referred to as “That ADU Guy”, has become a major proponent in getting the ADU movement going. He’s bought, built, and rehabbed numerous ADUs and has helped many homeowners more efficiently house hack thanks to this strategy. In this video, Derek gives a quick rundown of the finding, financing, building, buying, and zoning of ADUs, as well as some expert tips he’s learned along the way.

Have you ever bought or built an ADU? If so, how did your experience go, and what means did you use to fund it? Let us know in the comments below, Derek loves to connect with other ADU investors!
