Types of ADUs

When thinking of building an ADU, it’s essential to understand the available types. ADUs come in different styles and sizes, and each of them has its unique features, benefits, and challenges. In this section, we will explore the most popular types of ADUs to help you determine which one is right for you!

Detached ADU: This type of ADU is a separate, standalone unit independent from the property’s primary home. It may be a converted garage, new construction, or a prefab unit that can be placed on the lot.
Attached ADU: This type of ADU is attached to the main home, often with a separate entrance. It can be a converted part of the main house or an addition to it.
ADU Conversion: This kind of ADU is located within the principal residence, usually as a basement or attic conversion.
JADU: A JADU is a type of ADU that is no more than 500 sq ft and is created within an existing single-family home. It has its independent entrance, bathroom, and kitchenette but shares a roof with the main house.

At Multitaskr, we offer multiple Accessory Dwelling Unit choices, from 300 sq ft to 1200 sq ft. Feel free to browse our ADU catalog to check out some of our pre-curated designs.

What are some ADU benefits?

ADUs can provide property owners extra income: Building an ADU isn’t as expensive and time consuming as building a primary dwelling unit, and the potential rent generated from the ADU is proportionally greater when you compare the income per square foot. ADUs tend to lease quickly and do not require as much maintenance.

ADUs are convenient to manage: Given the unit’s proximity to the main home, an ADU is easier to manage than a separate rental property or apartment complex. The homeowner can be the property manager or pay a small management fee for those services.

ADUs make your property more valuable: Most prospective homeowners are willing to pay more for a home with an ADU on the property because of the income value that extra space has the potential to bring. Read here for an in-depth study on ADUs and property value.

ADUs can house family members such as aging relatives, adult children, and caretakers: Many of our clients find ADUs to be an investment utilized by loved ones. Garage conversion ADUs are a popular option to keep the family close.

Build an ADU Now, and Pay Later with Multitaskr. Sounds too good to be true?

Think about it, if you finance with our 100% ADU financing options and qualify for 12 deferred payments, this unit will start generating rental income as soon as the ADU is built without having to pay out of pocket.

Perhaps you’re wondering how much income you can generate from your newly built ADU? Many renters choose to pay more for an ADU than a traditional apartment building because there is typically more privacy, higher security, and a separate entrance to their living space, making it a more comfortable living experience.

ADUs can generate a minimum of the comparable apartment prices in your zip code, so you can use that number as a baseline rent price. The amenities your ADU offers, like washer and dryer access or private outdoor space, can increase the amount you list the unit for to generate even more from your ADU.

Now that you know the benefits of ADUs, you have everything you need to see if this is the right decision for your property investment goals.
