Hey Alex, I'm interested in meeting other people in the ADU development space. I do these purely as investments and would collaborate with others to discuss challenges with finance and ground up construction.

 @Mark Doty love to connect. I am also an investor in SD.

@Nick Maugeri Thank you. I feel the easiest way is to use replacement cost. That may be why I heard that many ADUs are appraised around the building cost. Is there a system which allows us to search the transactions by whether this house has an ADU/JADU? I don't think it exist yet.

If that is the case, can we do our homework by providing the comps with similar attributes (ADU, JADUs, etc) when requesting the appraisal? I am in San Diego, it is not hard to find properties with ADUs sold recently.

Quote from @Nick Maugeri:

Appraisers will pull from comparable sales with ADU's - even if they have to go farther and from a later date. They will not compare an ADU against a stick built home.

Does it mean that in this case, they will only compare with a house with one JADU and one ADU?

@Erik Estrada Thank you for your info. It is very hard to give up my 1st loan while the rate is so low. Thanks

@Erik Estrada

I don't live there. $500k on a HELOC is the max number I have heard after talking to many conventional lenders.

The LTV is 50% now. Another challenge is the appraisal for the property after 4 ADUs. It will be hard to find comparable properties.

Can I use the projected rental income $8k/month like DSCR loan?
