Guys I live in Benicia CA. about to start the process of House Hacking my home. The plan is to add one ADU and one JADU. My home is 1950sqft house on a 7405sqft lot (according to Realtor.com). About to start this journey, if any ones on the same boat let me know. I would like share info and see how your coming along. With that said I have done the following.

a. Currently I applied and submitted all my paperwork for HELOC to fund project.

b. Got somewhat familiar with AB68, AB881, SB13 (law regarding Accessory Dwelling Units) 

c. Downloaded and read local Planning Division regulation regarding ADU's.

d. Watched a ton of YouTube videos regarding subject.

e. Looked online for design ideas and floor plans.

f. Read The Book on Rental Property Investing and BRRRR along with a bunch of other stuff.

About to take the plunge!

Daniel
