When you build an ADU, or accessory-dwelling unit, you are adding space onto your property that can be used for several purposes. An ADU is a feature often found in historic neighborhoods and makes great use of under-utilized space on your property as a rental or for your own use. If you've decided to build an ADU onto your property, there are some things that you should know about before making a decision.

‍

Passive Income

‍

Accessory dwelling units offer a great opportunity for passive income by renting out your property. They are also a great way to make money as you enjoy the benefits of home ownership. Accessory dwelling units are equipped with everything a person would need to live independently. You can also make money by renting out the ADU on Airbnb, among other platforms. They also create additional income streams and save money on taxes since they are considered rental properties.

Increasing Your Homes Value

‍

When it comes to selling your home, there are a lot of factors that can make or break the deal. From the condition of the house to its location and market value, there are a lot of things that go into determining whether or not you'll be able to get your asking price. But did you know that adding an ADU could increase the value of your home by as much as 30%?

‍

ADUs (accessory dwelling units) are often referred to as granny flats, mother-in-law suites, backyard cottages, or other names. They're typically smaller than a traditional home but still offer all the amenities that buyers expect: a bathroom with a shower/tub combo, kitchenette with sink and refrigerator space, separate sleeping area for guests or family members who want to stay over.

‍

These additions can add more space without adding on externally to your property—and they increase its overall appeal because they're relatively rare in most areas. Because they're so uncommon, they make properties more attractive than if they didn't have them at all; when potential buyers see a house with an ADU on their property sheet during their search process they'll know right away that this house has something special going for it.

Personal Space

‍

ADU is the perfect solution for anyone looking to create extra space for their personal workspace or office. Whether you're in need of a private office, or just a little bit more room for your growing collection of books and papers, ADU will provide you with the privacy and security you need to focus on what matters most.

‍

ADU is an ultra-modern storage system that provides you with a clean, sleek look that fits seamlessly into any home or office space. It's also completely customizable—you can choose from any number of finishes and colors to match the décor in your home or office. With ADU, there's no need to compromise on style!

‍

Sustainability

‍

ADUs are smaller and more affordable than traditional homes, which makes them a great option for many families who don’t have the resources for a large house. They use less energy and water, generate less waste, and don’t require as much land space as traditional homes do. This makes them a more sustainable option than traditional homes.

‍

One of the best things about an ADU is that they can be added to your existing property without destroying the aesthetic appeal of your neighborhood. You can work with a design and production company to help you develop an ADU blueprint that uses the least amount of space while accommodating all your desired features.

Affordable Housing

‍

The average home is 3,000 square feet (278m2), which leaves a lot of space that is unused and unneeded. ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) are smaller living spaces attached to the main house.

‍

ADUs are more affordable than buying a new home in most places, and they require less maintenance than a regular house because they have fewer rooms and windows. They also don't need yards or garages. All these things mean you'll save money on utilities, taxes, and insurance when compared with a regular house

‍

Space For Temporary Guests

‍

A space that can be used as a guest house. Your temporary guests will have their own private space, so they won't disturb your home environment while they're staying with you. You can also use an ADU to host friends and family, giving everyone their own private room and bathroom.

‍

Conclusion

‍

If you want to become financially independent, owning your own home is one of the most basic ways to do so. As far as investments go, purchasing and living in an affordable home through an ADU has low overhead and high return. The extra income generated by renting out the ADU is essentially free money. ADUs are environmentally friendly, economical, and safe. Overall, when compared to other housing options, ADUs are solid investments for everyone.
