An ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) is a permanent additional housing structure built on a property that already has a main home. You might know them as granny flats, casitas, guest houses, or in-law suites. Zoning for ADUs is different for each jurisdiction.
ADUs can be built on single-family or multi-family lots. They have their own entrance, separate from the primary house, along with a kitchen, bathroom, and living space.
ADUs come in various forms, such as garage conversions, stand-alone units, attic or basement conversions, or even attachments to the main house. Their flexibility is one of their biggest strengths. Over the years, many owners find new ways to use their ADUs. These units can be rented year-round and significantly increase your property's value.
Tiny homes are a great alternative to traditional housing. They are small, efficient living spaces that can be mobile or stationary. Like ADUs, tiny homes maximize space and functionality, making them perfect for downsizing or adding a unique rental property to your portfolio.

How do you find a good contractor ????

[@TinyHomeConnection]

Hi Kristin, Sometimes it is tricky. I would ensure your contractor is familiar with the ADU projects and understands the regulations/building requirements. It may require some legwork and several conversations to find the right one. I would post your question on different social media groups asking for recommendations, reach out to others who have built an ADU to inquire on their experience/contractor, or chat with real estate agents who may have a resource to assist. Here is an article I wrote on the topic: reerin.com/choosing-adu-contractor It may help you work through the process. Let me know if I can assist in anyway😁
