ADUs

Unlock the Hidden Value in your Property with ADUs

---

Did you know that you can add up to eight Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) on qualifying multifamily lots—often at a much lower cost per door compared to purchasing new units?

In 2025, California introduced significant changes to its ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) laws—dramatically increasing the potential for multifamily property owners. Thanks to SB 1211, qualifying multifamily lots can now include up to eight detached ADUs—one per existing living unit, capped at eight. This is a major leap from the previous limit of just two detached ADUs.

What makes this even more powerful? The new law mandates that all municipalities must offer pre-approved ADU plans and implement a streamlined approval process. That means faster approvals, fewer bureaucratic headaches, and quicker paths to added value.

Even better, the law now makes it easier to legalize previously unpermitted ADUs by providing a checklist of upgrade requirements. And for those thinking about exit strategies, certain jurisdictions now allow ADUs to be sold separately from the primary residence via condominium conversion. Plus, with AB 976 permanently removing owner-occupancy requirements, investors can rent out ADUs without needing to live on the property themselves.

I’ve been working closely with Greg Popovich at ADU4life, Inc., exploring strategies to help my multifamily clients capitalize on these powerful updates—and right now, the laws are working in your favor.

Together, Greg and I have identified ways to significantly increase your property's equity by building ADUs in underutilized areas—like above carports, in underused land, and other smart, code-compliant locations. This is a rare opportunity to boost both value and cash flow while regulations remain favorable.
