ADU - Garage Conversion
Hi BP community! First of all, I'd like to say thank you to everyone out there for providing great content and feedback on these forums and blogs. I've definitely learned a ton just by reading and listening to the BP podcasts and I figured its time to finally Jump in and get started!
So I came across this great opportunity in the City of Long Beach, which has a detached garage that im looking to convert to an ADU. I checked the city ADU guidelines, and the property does meet all the requirements. My question is, what exactly should i expect in terms of the construction costs, timeline and permitting process? I know this may be a lot to answer but any ball-park answers will by much appreciated.
Thanks!

@Naven Meas. 2020 is indeed excellent year for new or existing investors particularly in California. with Bill sb13 already in-place I recommend dipped and get does hands full with honey what are you waiting for create the wealth. With that being said construction cost well depending what exactly trying to do? what is the sqft of the garage? Is attached or detached ? permit process well it depends on your country, I believe 2020 the permits processing much faster then last year. My recommendation check with your local building & safety for further information. To support your statement I am also trying convert my barn to a Granny quarter’s.
