Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU)
New laws have made it easier for clients to put their land to work in order to address the Affordable Housing Crisis. Not only is there income potential in having a rentable ADU or JADU on your property, but these units also provide flexibility for family members to live. Communities thrive when we live connected and in a community. Did I mention, there are rebates and incentives for homeowners to build these units on their properties? This also works for HOA communities as well, restrictions for these units is no longer allowed. Find out more by booking an appointment with me. Some Materials to get you started:
