@Andrew Postell - California allows one attached ADU, one detached ADU, and one JADU on primary residence. I confirmed with the city over a few meetings, so that part is sorted out.

I know ADUs cause issues with appraisal since there are not many properties to comp with, that have ADUs. But wondering why you called out "two ADUs" specifically.

Thank you for your comment. I will research more.

I am trying to decide whether househacking makes sense here if my goal is to generate $6K/month passive income asap.

I live in bay area California. I have the opportunity to build two ADUs on my primary residence. The ADUs will cost me total $700K to build. Assuming no loan, these will generate total $6K a month income after taxes.

Does househacking make sense here, or should I just focus on buying cash flowing rental properties in the country, or do both?

Househacking primary home = pays the mortgage on my home, instant $6K income, peace of mind, but some loss of privacy, too many eggs in one basket, appreciation on 1 property only.

Buying rental properties instead = multiple properties appreciating over time, more diversified, but cash flow very hard to find, how to get to $6K cashflow instantly?

I will appreciate any advice please.

Thank you so much!
