Garage conversions can dramatically change the face (and profit) of your property. Taking unused space and turning it into a cash-flowing residence isn’t anything new, but most homeowners and investors still don’t know how easy an ADU conversion can be. Derek Sherrell, commonly known as “That ADU Guy,” has been fixated on turning extra space into affordable accessory dwelling units for years.

Derek turned a primary residence with a garage into a multifamily investment property for just $30,000. This garage conversion ADU comes with new appliances, hardwood floors, storage, and plenty of space. Thanks to nearby alley access and utility hookups, Derek was able to get this property permitted, renovated, and approved for his next lineup of new renters, without breaking the bank. This property should cash flow handsomely after all is said and done, and shows just how easy it is to build (or convert) your own ADU!
