    WHAT IS AN ADU?
    ADU stands for accessory dwelling unit. An ADU is a permanent additional housing structure built on a property that already has a main home or main structure. You may have heard them referred to as granny flats, casitas, guest houses, or in-law suites. They can be built on a single-family lot or multi-family lot (duplexes count as multi-family).
    An ADU has its own entrance, separate from the primary house, as well as a kitchen, bathroom, and living space.
    Accessory dwelling units can be rented year-round and add a lot of value to your property. They can be garage conversions, stand-alone units, attic or basement conversions, or be attached to the main house.
    ADUs are exceptionally flexible, and most owners find that their use for the unit evolves over the years, including passive rental income.
    Nima is just one of many California residents that have taken advantage of the state's progressive ADU regulations to maximize the potential of his multi-family property.
    Nima and his wife own a triplex property that was already bringing in passive rental income from renting two of the living spaces. After learning about ADUs, they realized their backyard was a prime spot to build a FOURTH liveable space that could be rented, and so they got to work.
    Nima decided to take on some of the construction work himself which was quite a feat while also working a full-time job but through all the hard work, their ADU was built and ready for move-in after just four months.
    The final cost of the project came out to about $76,000, including design and permitting fees. This is well below the average cost for an ADU of this size since Nima did a lot of the construction work himself, but unless you have the construction experience and time, you may want to leave that job to a general contractor.
    "That definitely came at the expense of a lot of long nights, a lot of effort, and a lot of sweat that went into it." - Nima
    Finding a reputable general contractor can be daunting. Even Nima ran into some problems with one of his subcontractors, which is why Maxable is devoted to helping homeowners find vetted and experienced ADU professionals to help complete your project. Visit maxablespace.com/ for more details.

    Love the project! So great that he is able to use a property that his family bought and then add so much value to it and at the same time adding rental units in the community helping to decrease rent values in the area! Great way for young people to decrease their dependency on a full time jobs! All these large lots should have an ADU. This will not take the homeless out of the streets, but will help increase inventory of rental properties in the area and overtime decrease rent rates. Win win for the home owner who wants to get ahead in life and live a comfortable life with his family and for the community in general. The new ADU laws in CA coming out in 2024 should help increase the numbers of these ADU's.

      In Sacramento, yes! You just have to apply for a short-term rental permit or a conditional-use permit if renting the ADU for more than 90 days out of the year. maxablespace.com/how-to-build-an-adu-in-sacramento-ca/
      STR regulations for ADUs vary with each city. For example, in San Diego, ADUs cannot be rented as a STR.

      @Maxable  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Depending on where you live and the size of your ADU, blueprints/plans for an ADU can cost anywhere from a few thousand dollars up to $15k+. Many cities in California are released pre-approved plansets - you can buy those directly from the architects who created them, but you'll still need to work with an architect to customize those plans for your specific property, which will add a bit to your total cost.

    • @Maxable
      @Maxable  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Some owners choose to hire a property manager that handles the entire experience, other owners choose to hire cleaners to handle the 'reset' of the Airbnb, and some save the money and do the clean-up themselves! Usually tenants are respectful of the space and clean up in a breeze...but there are always edge cases where unruly visitors cause a mess.
      Clean up aside, as long as you design your ADU with privacy in mind (taking sound attenuation measures, adding a privacy fence, etc), you won't even notice that you have strangers staying in your back/side yard!

  • @DeanBKK
    @DeanBKK ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Very nice video. I know you mentioned he paid $76k with him doing a lot of the work himself. But I'm curious if the build could be done cheaper if he just bought a 14'x34' pre-fab shell structure for $20k (from a place like United Portable Buildings), then finished everything else out on his own after delivery?

    • @Maxable
      @Maxable  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It's possible, but you probably wouldn't save much. While the structure may only cost $20k, you also have to factor in the cost of transportation and installation.

    • @AliChoudhery-ld5yg
      @AliChoudhery-ld5yg ปีที่แล้ว +13

      I'll tell you the secret to doing these cheap. Pull out an owner builder permit and hire your own workers; get your own concrete guy, plumber, electrician, framer, etc. That's the cheapest way to do it. It will be more work involved, but drastically cheaper than hiring a contractor or going with a company that builds prefab homes.

    We don’t need more TEMP housing. One of the reasons we are in a housing crisis. So many long term rentals lost from the rental market. This was money for them period. That’s disappointing 🤦🏼‍♀️. When I see now families, seniors, students or singles living in cars or on the street I don’t know how you cant at least think about what you can do for your community. I’m not talking about opening your home up as a shelter for addicts. Just be a part of this world we live in.
    You should know by now NOT everyone starts life on an level playing field… so before you tell people “if they don’t do this… I guess they want to be victims.” Think how very hard that would be for some people that were never told they had it in them..to become anyone they wish or didn’t have even one parent at home to make dinner, help with homework or tug you or your 4 younger siblings in at night, so that task falls solely on them. Again you never TALK ..until you walk in others shoes….
    I was lucky compared to many. I had supportive people around me. So I was able to focus on years of schooling. Be a home owner etc. car owner with no payments. I could work hard to think about my future. I didn’t have daily struggles my mind was focused on. For that I was truly lucky
    .
    So of course Yes your family comes first. Mine does, You have be smart make a good life for your family by bringing in a good income. Just be a part of the solution too. if you aren’t going to be. Just don’t kick people while their down.
    The situations I’ve seen .. (I do relief work) I’d like to see the peeps judging to go through what they have and not fall behind ONE month etc.
    Im just asking have …empathy during this really hard time for people and don’t ask rent prices only people making $100,000 a year can afford. People who make that money usually buy so does nothing to help this crisis. 🤷🏼‍♀️. Remember 30 % should be the max you pay in rent so you don’t live under the poverty line. And if this gets worse, people aren’t going to be ok with that. It’s scares me. We need to come up with a solution. It’s everyone’s issue …TRUST THAT. 😊
