Are you looking for a way to increase the value of your property, generate additional rental income, or create a private space for your family or guests? If so, an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) may be just what you need! ADUs, also known as granny flats, or backyard cottages, are self-contained living spaces that are located on the same lot as a primary residence.
Designing and building an ADU can be a complex process, but with the right knowledge and guidance, it can also be a rewarding one. In this episode, we are joined by the amazing Whitney Hill, as we explore the world of ADUs, from their benefits and types to the key considerations in designing and building them. Join us and listen in!
