Experience with DIY structure kits turned ADU?/Extreme Budget ADU
Are there any builder/investors that have taken a *very* minimal structure kit from Home Depot, etc and turned it into a minimalist but permitted ADU?
Like this for example (barely meets the 300SqFt threshold): https://www.wayfair.com/storag...
Or something in the 5K-10K range that's similar.
My specific circumstances: Portland, Oregon. I'm looking at properties that will be a live in house hack. I will require a structure like this for my online retail business anyways if the property doesn't have a significantly large open basement or garage for inventory storage/fulfillment.
If I'm going through all the legwork to create a structure like this onsite, run electricity to it, etc. I was curious about how possible it would be to take the bulk cost out by using a kit like this and conforming everything else to meet the qualifications to be sold that way at move out.
Or better yet, if I land a space that does has a 2 car garage, etc and a large lot, building something like this for additional income.
