Why an ADU now
ADU’s are basically a cheat-code for land-owners to significantly increase the real estate size quickly without going over-budget. ADUs typically pay back faster than many remodels, and properly permitted units rent quickly in Sacramento.
ADU’s are a great way to maximize the revenue off the existing properties, with a typical ADU being rented in 2 weeks at $2,200/mo
ADU’s are a perfect solution for the growing family needs. In a challenging real estate market it helps your family grow.
An ADU can significantly increase the revenue produced by a property, therefore making it more attractive for potential investors.
