Bala Cynwyd is one of the hottest neighborhoods in the Philadelphia suburbs located in the coveted Main Line.

An ADU is an Accessory Dwelling Unit -- specifically, a garage or other structure converted into a living space like a studio apartment.Houses can have one ADU and small multifamily property can have two ADUs (and more under certain circumstances).Here's an example deal, one I was exploring with a client recently:https://www.redfin.com/CA/Los-Angeles/624-N-Evergreen-Ave-90...This fourplex has two large garages, each of which can be converted into a studio apartment collecting $1600/month in rent (with plenty of off-street parking still available for tenants).

Hello Utah BP Family! <3I have a bunch of random thoughts, questions, & scatterbrained ideas regarding building an ADU that I'd love some guidance/feedback on if anyone is willing or has knowledge/expertise on!...

If your not stocking the cabinets and accessories (like trim pieces and panels), then I am at the mercy of ordering and shipping (that means delays).  

Included in the cost of a major kitchen remodel is updating a 200 square foot kitchen with 30 linear feet of top-of-the-line custom white cabinets with built-in sliding shelves and other interior accessories.

I know that I am lowering the demographic I am reaching If I build bigger and if I wasn't using hard money I could afford to wait for the variances needed to build them smaller and still have the "coveted" garage parking that is so desired in the city , thats been my biggest crux/condundrum and the only reason I am moving forward is that my plan is only 10feet wider than all the other homes in area and houses this big have been selling.  

I throw in pops of color with other accessories.  

It includes a primary residence, as well as a detached garage/storage area in the backyard that I am looking to convert into an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit).

A lot of people can swing the 6% on a permanent basis, but not in years 1 and 2 when they have to buy all the "accessories" that come with a new home, like the new furniture, the redone kitchen, landscaping the yard, bla bla bla.By frontloading the monthly savings into year 1, poof, we've created a furniture budget. 

I wouldn’t necessarily give up on your idea to add an accessory dwelling unit to your property.
