Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) (<900 SF) to be built by-right

[John Liao]

Hi All -

A bill was recently passed to allow Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) (<900 SF) to be built by-right in single-family zoning districts.

My understanding is that you could buy a single family home and build an ADU on it and rent it out.

Thatch Nguyen (for those familiar with him) really popularized this on the west coast in Seattle.

Is anyone planning on getting into this game? Seems like a real cash cow if you get ahead of the ball. 

Would love to hear opinions and thoughts on this!
