Call them Tiny houses, in-law units, granny flats, or backyard cottages, Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are secondary units that have their own address and can be rented out.

Building a new ADU in your backyard or converting your existing garage can give single-family homeowners more flexibility both spatially and financially.

FOR YOU extend your living space, have a studio, or rent out your front house

FOR FAMILY OR FRIENDS host visitors, have your in-laws or kids move in

FOR RENT rent out for extra income to long-term tenants

Either way you use the space, your property value will appreciate immediately. An ADU can pay for itself in less than 15 years and provide you additional income for retirement.
