Can You Get Paid to Build an ADU in Your Backyard?

Building a small rental unit on your property is a great way to create passive income, but housing experts say that accessory dwelling units, or ADUs, can also help solve the nation’s housing crisis. And there are a growing number of states that are allowing them. Plus, three states are actually paying people to build them!   California was the first to legalize ADUs back in 1982 The law allowed homeowners to build a second unit but local governments hampered the effort with restrictions. Some municipalities charged hefty “impact fees” or imposed complicated and expensive permitting requirements. There may have also been restrictions on renting the units if the owner didn’t live on the property and problems qualifying for a loan to build an ADU...   If you live in a place that allows ADU’s, It’s now time to check your yard for space to build an ADU that can bring you some passive income!
