Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before building an ADU in Los Angeles.
If you own a single-family home in Los Angeles, you almost certainly qualify for some type of ADU — a JADU, garage conversion, or detached unit. Eligibility depends on lot coverage limits, setback requirements, and Residential Floor Area restrictions. Most L.A. lots have room for at least a 500–800 sq ft ADU. In your free consultation, we'll pull your lot details and tell you exactly what you can build.
Construction costs average $280–$350+ per square foot depending on finishes, materials, and location. A 600 sq ft one-bedroom ADU typically runs $168K–$210K in construction alone. Add $25K–$40K for permits, architectural plans, engineering, and utility connections. Our calculator gives you a detailed cost breakdown based on your specific neighborhood and unit size.
Plan approval in Los Angeles typically takes 60–90 days through the ministerial review process. Construction generally runs 4–8 months depending on size and complexity. From initial consultation to move-in ready, most projects complete in 8–14 months total. Garage conversions are typically faster since the structure already exists.
Rental income varies significantly by neighborhood. In South LA, a one-bedroom ADU typically rents for $1,800–$2,500/month. In areas like Inglewood near SoFi or West Adams, you can see $2,500–$3,500/month. Our estimator uses real local rental data to project your specific income potential, factoring in vacancy rates and operating expenses.
Most homeowners finance their ADU through a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC), a construction loan, or a cash-out refinance. Some use personal savings for a portion and finance the rest. Current rates for construction lending run around 7–8%. Our calculator lets you model different financing scenarios — including down payment percentages — so you can see exactly how the numbers work for your budget.
Yes — significantly. A permitted ADU typically adds $150K–$300K in equity to your property, often more than the cost to build it. This is what we call "forced appreciation." The income-producing nature of the ADU makes your property more valuable to future buyers and allows for higher appraisals. Our 10-year wealth projection shows you exactly how equity builds over time.
