In fact, the list of home improvement projects that decrease resale value and drain homeowner’s personal savings is far too long, but ADU additions are different.
Due to the housing crunch in major metropolitan areas, cities around the United States are relaxing zoning codes and creating new housing laws to deal with the shortage of rental properties. In Los Angeles for example, it’s now legal to turn your garage into an apartment or build an ADU in your backyard.
In LA, ADUs are not seen as separate properties, but rather an extension of a larger nearby home or property. For this reason, they are frequently used to make income from rentals. If renting isn’t of interest to the owner, they will most likely use it to house a family member.
But given that the average monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Los Angeles in July 2018 was $2,209, according to Rent Jungle, converting an existing outdoor building into a living space, or even building one from scratch, is a real estate investment worth consideration.
