Why An ADU Could Be Your Smartest Investment?

Looking for a way to dramatically increase your property value while generating substantial monthly income? Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) have become California's favorite property investment, offering homeowners unprecedented returns while helping solve the state's housing crisis.

The Economics Make Sense

In Sonoma County, ADUs commonly rent for approximately $3.50 per square foot—meaning a modest 800 square foot unit can generate around $2,800 monthly in rental income. This remarkable return transforms properties from financial burdens into cash-flowing investments, often paying for themselves within 4-5 years.

Attached vs. Detached: Making the Right Choice

While attached ADUs typically cost less to build by leveraging existing walls and utility connections, detached units often command higher rents and better resale value increases. The right choice depends on your property layout, budget, and long-term goals. All Cal Construction can help you analyze which option maximizes your specific property's potential.

The New Buyer Demographic

Properties with ADUs attract an entirely new category of home buyers—younger investors looking for homes that help offset mortgage costs through rental income. This expanded buyer pool typically translates to faster sales and higher selling prices when it's time to move.

Creating Housing That People Want

ADUs provide housing types that many renters actively seek: quiet neighborhood settings, proximity to good schools, private entrances, and energy-efficient living spaces. These attributes allow homeowners to attract quality, long-term tenants while charging premium rents.

The Permitting Expertise Difference

While many contractors understand construction, navigating California's complex ADU regulations requires specialized knowledge. All Cal Construction maintains a 100% permit approval record by combining design expertise with intimate knowledge of local building requirements. We never submit plans that won't get approved.
