Make the Most of Your Living Space with an ADU Conversion
An accessory dwelling unit upgrade will increase your living space and is a great way to convert a garage that no longer houses vehicles. Maybe you have built a new garage and the old garage is not being used. If so, an ADU garage conversion can add to your home's square footage and free up some useful space.
Save Money on Moving and Add Value to Your Real Estate
If you are someone who really does not use the garage that much, you can also make an ADU conversion that gives you more flexibility in the use of your house's space. You can use your ADU to generate a monthly rental income as well as increase your home's resale value. For example, a detached ADU, if built or renovated by the right builder, can potentially increase your property's worth by as much as 30%.
Defining an ADU
Let's take a closer look at ADUs by defining the upgrade itself. An ADU defines a secondary living space that is built onto an existing property, and is attached to or detached from the primary residence. An ADU can also represent an interior conversion.
Attached ADUs
An attached ADU may include the following:
- A garage conversion (if the garage is connected to the home)
- A second story conversion (either on the house or on an attached garage)
- A new addition
Detached ADUs
A detached ADU may represent the following:
- A garage conversion (if the garage is separate from the house)
- New construction
- A backyard cottage
An Internal ADU
You can turn a basement or attic into an ADU if you opt for an internal remodel ADU.
ADU Costs
Because you have various ADUs from which to choose, you cannot generalize the cost of this type of property upgrade. Typically, the most economical upgrade is a garage ADU conversion, which can span in cost from $30,000 to $60,000 or more. While most of the cost is attributed to the construction phase, you will have to account for expenses related to designing, surveying, and acquiring the necessary permits.
Using an ADU to Generate Rental Income
If you convert a garage into an ADU to generate income, the cost can be recouped in as little as a couple years. When you consider your options in this respect, it is best to build an ADU that features 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. That is because this type of ADU is easier to rent and does not cost much more than an ADU with 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom.
When you own real estate, an ADU conversion is one way you can realize a healthy return on your property. Use the space you have and make the most of it.
