25. Everything You Need To Know about Accessory Dwelling Units
As housing demand increases, more and more municipalities have begun allowing property owners to build accessory dwelling units (ADUs). These supplementary properties not only help with the housing crisis, they can also help maximize a client's home, and provide a passive income. In this episode Breck, Leslie, and Claire share insight on exactly what an ADU is and why they are popping up on properties all across the county. Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn from us in this episode:
What is an Accessory Dwelling Unit.
Why there is an increase in cities allowing ADU development.
Parameters and restrictions of ADUs.
Questions you need to ask yourself in order to maximize your property.
