Post: New California ADU bills and design

Hello all!

I recently purchased a duplex to house hack. It’s comprised of two Detached buildings: 3bd 2ba front unit and a two story 2bd 1ba in the rear with three individual garages on the first floor and alley access.

It’s a great set up as our home feels like a single family lot and with it being 10 blocks from the ocean in San Diego area, I will have multiple options on what to do with the property after my year living there.

I recently spoke with the city about taking two of the three garages and building a 550 sq ft, 1bd 1ba downstairs unit. I figured that with the new bills passing I may stand a shot. Currently my lot is zoned for two units. They were very nice and easy to speak with. Problem is the bills are so new, they are also getting up to speed along with us, and couldn’t give me a definitive answer or direction. They recommended I speak with an architect or designer and submit a design come January 1, 2020.

I’m wondering if anyone has experience getting ahead of these new bills to add units to their properties? Any advice on how to nest proceed would be greatly appreciated!!

@Doug McVinua thanks Doug, but this being my first time out in AZ and for a year or less, I’ll need to play much smaller ball. Probably $125k-$250k range

Hello all, I hope this is the proper channel for this request:

Hello everyone, well wishes to all! I’m doing some work in Arizona and looks like I will be out here for a few months to a year. Coming from California, I’d like to take advantage of my time out here to do a flip. I’ve done a couple of flips already in CA.

Please Feel free to DM me.

Thank you

Hello everyone on BP, thank you for visiting my post.

I come cut from the same cloth as many of you out here.  I had a hard youth but I didn't know how rough it was until I got older.  I do appreciate where I come from, it's taught me perseverance, grit and the art of the collaboration.

When I married and had my son, I went a little overboard with the "be a provider" mindset.  Fast forward 15 years and I'm starting to realize there's more to this long crazy ride we call life.  I've taken small steps to diversify what I do, including creating a social media presence to begin sharing some of my videography and drone skills.

Currently, I fixed up a single family home which is on the market and I have a duplex that's been a great investment. But, I am severely a rookie and am going through some major analysis paralysis. I just can't seem to find the way to make a move towards BRRR. San Diego is very difficult and a little scary.

I hope I get to make many valuable friendships from like-minded individuals.   Who knows, hopefully, one day I can help one of you with either a lead or referral or who knows!

Thank you and please feel free to forward any information to help me jump into BRRR'ing.

Cheers!

Oscar
