Thanks to new legislation flooding in over the last few years in California, it is now possible for almost any single-family property to have an ADU built on it. Even multi-family properties can get the ADU treatment too, but the fact of the matter is that some properties are better suited than others.

In today’s video, we're going to detail what characteristics to look out for if you’re in the market to buy a new property, whether you’re an investor, or just looking to buy a home for yourself.

WHAT IS AN ADU?
ADU stands for accessory dwelling unit. An ADU is a permanent additional housing structure built on a property that already has a main home or main structure. You may have heard them referred to as granny flats, casitas, guest houses, or in-law suites. They can be built on a single-family lot or multi-family lot (duplexes count as multi-family).

An ADU has its own entrance, separate from the primary house, as well as a kitchen, bathroom, and living space.

Accessory dwelling units can be rented year-round and add a lot of value to your property. They can be garage conversions, stand-alone units, attic or basement conversions, or be attached to the main house.

ADUs are exceptionally flexible, and most owners find that their use for the unit evolves over the years, including passive rental income.
