Building ADU for friend

[Taylor Hawkins]

Hey there!

Looking for a creative ideas to create a win/win scenario for a close friend that wants to move in with me. I own a SFH and my friend would like to live in an ADU on the property. He currently pays ~30k/yr in rent and plans to stay for at least a year. He's interested in either using a studio-shed as a room with full house access or full on ADU with bathroom/kitchenette.

The obvious path forward is that I finance and build everything and charge reasonable rent likely less than what he's currently paying keeping the asset after to rent to someone else / use as an office / increase property value + sq ft. BUT that's the obvious choice and why I'm asking you brilliant professionals for creative ideas! :)
