Approved for a backyard ADU
Since last year, my wife and myself have been house successfully house hacking an SFR. Instead of buying another property now, we decided to see if it was legal in our area to put in an ADU. I just reached out to the county in my area, and indeed, I am allowed to build one ADU in the backyard.
I am looking for recommendations on floor plans and estimated prices after all is said and done. In general some pros and cons, and what you might have done differently if you were to do it again. Lastly, if you have any contacts regarding builders and financing, I would greatly appreciate it.
Many Thanks!
Brandon
