Is an ADU worth it?
An accessory dwelling unit pays for itself when the rental income or added living space it creates outweighs the permitting, construction and insurance costs of building one, which varies by lot and by the buyer or seller's own plans. Local zoning and HOA rules decide whether an ADU is even allowed before cost enters the conversation. Brian Beatty checks a property's specific zoning and compares similar ADU and non-ADU sales before advising whether one makes financial sense.
