Are You Thinking Of Building An ADU For Your Home? To Watch 5 Lies About Barndominums: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6qxlKiGjc59q68

Can you talk about some cities who are doing "vacant to value" homes and what misconceptions or things we should know before committing to these programs? (One example is Baltimore sponsoring people to move to the city with the intention of becoming home owners)

[@rmstitanic89]

Hi Ms. Kristina! I have been loving your channel the past several weeks as I research into what type of home/property I would like to pursue. I watched this along with your Barndominium video and I was wondering if you had any thoughts on log cabin style homes (full scribe, post and beam, and timber frame) and if it is at all possible to build one within a reasonable budget? I personally have always loved the architectural style but I never see any that are sub $500k or within the size of a standard home.

A know a few people locally who built some COB ADU's per CA laws, one was a unit for a teenager. The size was what mattered, I was actually surprised that anyone could do cob or straw bale if they wanted to (wow!) so it's worth checking your CITY ordinances (the County is another story!) you might be pleasantly surprised.

[@kara5958]

We just finished our ADU build on our property. It was not cheap! It is about 733 sq ft (one bedroom). It definitely raised the value of our home/property, and we will rent it and more than likely will pay our mortgage. If I can give anyone sound advice…. Hire an architect and build the best you can.

[@GenesisPalomo]

How much did you pay if you dont mind me asking?

[@kara5958]

@@GenesisPalomo All in probably 315G. I am coastal California so it’s pricey here. It was a constant argument with contractor to not go “standard” on everything. We fought for pocket doors and to raise ceiling height. The thing about ADU’s is they are small so having high ceilings and pocket doors is key. The higher the ceiling, the less claustrophobic it feels.

ADU okay in San Jose CA. City promotes as easy...only if you use one of their pre approved companies. DYI design, forget about it! The preferred company wants you to take a loan for their building. Then they put a lien on property until its paid off. Miss one payment, they promptly foreclose on the whole property. And the city likes that! Get the old tax basis property to be resold and collect higher taxes. BE VERY VERY CAREFUL!!!

[@jpbaley2016]

You point on permits is spot on. Local ordinances are very different. Some things are allowed as a shed, which change drastically if electricity is involved. Size restrictions, how far away from property lines and expect a property inspection. My brother wanted to enlarge the shed on his property, which was there when he bought it, and make it into a “mancave”. What he found was the unpermitted shed was already illegal due to its size and how close it was built to his property lines. He couldn’t even get a permit to enlarge it and move it to meet permitting specifications because the double driveway he had built failed to meet specifications because it was required to have an unpaved buffer between the driveway and his fence line. So he’s stuck. His next door neighbor, who has added electricity to his shed, is now covering up the add-in since a permit would have been required, because he needs to do something on his property requiring a permit and doesn’t want to fail inspection.

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

Be careful in some places, I believe they can yank your whole property if they like. Never p*ss off the wrong people :)

[@rockingredpoppy9119]

People you can not sell an ADU separately from your house. Unless your backyard has a separate parcel number, you must apply and get a lot split approved and recorded by the County. The County will then issue each parcel a separate parcel number. You will need a separate parcel number in order to convey the property via Grant Deed and in order for the County to prepare separate property tax bills as well as assign an address. Your existing parcel may also not be zoned to split - check your zoning with the County. This is the same across the Country, and is not different County to County.

[@SeattlePioneer]

Depends on your area. In Seattle, ADUs and DADUs can be condominumized and sold separately by drawing up and recording the arrangement. This requires the services of a surveyor and lawyer, but is not reviewed by the city. The city must approve building plans, but not the condominium arrangement which determines what are separate and common features that can be sold separately.

[@albertlopez2762]

If you're in CA and zoned single family (R-1), and the back lot can be at least 2500 sf, more than likely you can do a lot spit and sell one or both off. There's a piece of the law that says you have to live in one of the units for a year, but not widely enforced.

For many/most ADU's you don't need to hire an actual Architect, you can often find a draftsman/designer for much less. Keep in mind that most projects will require a structural engineer too. ADU's are retirement/generational wealth, so it's totally worth it to take out a loan and build one!

[@kevinbaker6168]

Some of the issues you can get into is total square footage, plan design acceptance and construction methods and inspections. If you build under a certain square footage and it has no plumbing, and not on a permanent foundation you may be able to do it without inspections, permits and planning and zoning. It all depends on your locality. Some are friendly to allowing a small building, provided there is enough room on your lot and you follow set backs from property lines. Other issues is use; if it is for storage there is one code, for a detached home office another, for overnight occupancy by a person there is yet more. Check, check and check the requirements and codes in your locality.

[@blahblahblah6965]

My county uploaded about 5 plans that they have pre-approved for ADUs and they're pushing their plans because since they're pre-approved the fees are supposed to be a lot less.

[@CallMeFil]

You should make a check list for these things before you buy. That'd be neat and helpful

I built an adu. A shed with W+D, tub, toilet, sink, etc. To put these things in a shed, you have to reinforce the floor, etc. double the joists, double the plywood, then put down a finish floor (or paint the plywood floor). I put the water heater, in it's own covered box. electrical box, ceiling fan, etc. in my area, if it's under 144 sq ft, no permit necessary.

Get rid of all the regulations. Let people do what they want on their own property.

Recently though I have seen them getting crazy expensive like what seems like way more than it could have possibly cost them to build. Happens all the time I suppose with everything but I just think at some point it is redundant because who is paying 200,000 or more for a 300squarefoot tiny house when you can do alot more in something else. I just want to understand how that is not predatory lending or a large profit margin for that builder and it is just going to cap off at some point because it's not worth it once it gets past a certain point.
