The typical timeline for an ADU in Los Angeles is 10–16 months from initial consultation to move-in.

We manage the entire process and provide a written project schedule with key milestones in your contract.

Question 3

Can I rent out my ADU in Los Angeles?

Yes. Once your ADU receives a certificate of occupancy, it is legally permitted for rental in Los Angeles County. Average rental income for a 600–800 sq ft ADU ranges from $1,800–$2,800/month depending on location. Inglewood ADUs near SoFi Stadium and LAX command premium rents. We can connect you with local property management resources to help find tenants.

Most homeowners finance their ADU through a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC), cash-out refinancing, or an ADU-specific construction loan.
