Is an ADU a good investment in Los Angeles? +
Yes — one of the best available. ADUs typically add $200,000–$500,000+ to LA home values and generate $2,000–$4,000/month in rental income. With LA's housing shortage, demand for ADU rentals is extremely high. Most homeowners recoup their investment within 5–8 years while generating ongoing passive income.
Can I convert any garage into an ADU in Los Angeles? +
Most single-family homes in LA can convert an attached or detached garage into an ADU under California's streamlined ADU laws (AB 881, SB 13). Requirements include minimum ceiling height, setbacks, and utility access. Tegula Stone evaluates your property and handles all code compliance from the start.
