What is an ADU? Why should you build one? And how can we help?
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU’s) or Garage Conversions to house aging parents, boomerang adult kids or to rent out on Airbnb for extra income are becoming increasingly more popular. Or maybe you just want to create a home office space, art/craft studio or yoga/work-out space in your garage. Decor Revolution can help you custom build, remodel or refresh these spaces to suit your needs, and if you will be renting it out, attract potential tenants to your site. Here at Decor Revolution, we can design the space for you and manage any construction work that may need to be done. Add a bathroom and kitchenette. Maybe, add a window or a sky-light or a loft bedroom. And, probably, a mini split for A/C and heat. We’ve got you covered. We work with a wonderful contractor and can pull your permits for you.
ADU’s raise property values for homeowners; bring opportunities for additional income to homeowners if used as rental property; can allow for extended families to live together without compromising on privacy, and; they provide extra living space. They help address the housing shortage, which currently exists in our cities, when you provide a residence for a family member or tenant. And, in the future, if you decide to sell your property, the addition to your home will increase the profit from your sale, as people are always looking for extra space.
In October of 2019, Governor Newsom signed into state law a suite of housing bills, including five ADU bills (AB 68, AB 881, AB 587, SB 13, and AB 671).
These bills were a game-changer for California homeowners who wish to build an ADU in terms of relaxing the permitting regulations and occupancy requirements.
Help stimulate the economy by building an ADU in your backyard. One ADU adds a lot of capital into the local labor market. It also spends both locally and globally in a variety of manufacturing industries and supply chains.
An ADU is one of the safest places to invest your money during a recession. The original rapid growth of the ADU was in 2010 when the real estate market for homes was receding rather dramatically with no predictable bottom in sight. ADU’s can do just fine in a recession. By investing in an ADU, you are investing in yourself and your future. It adds significant long-term resale value to your property and if you rent it out, the income you generate will over time, be greater than the costs of additional payment for the amortized construction loan for the project.
You’re also gaining extraordinary flexibility with your property. Your ADU can shift from being a home, to an office, to a guest room.
During this coronavirus recovery period, ADU’s that may have originally been used for other purposes, may well now be changed into isolation shelters for family members who show symptoms and need to stay away from others for a period of time.
