Before 2020 an accessory dwelling unit was only allowed on single-family properties, and not at all on multi-family properties. With new laws finally in place, property owners can now reap all of the financial and personal benefits that multi-family property ADUs have to offer.

When it comes to ADUs (accessory dwelling units), there’s a lot for homeowners to learn. Exploring styles, sizes, prices, and everything in between can be overwhelming, especially when considering which option will work best for your lifestyle and your goals. Whether you are looking to create extra space or make additional income on the side, it’s important to start with some research.

A backyard rental property will add value to your home as well as the ability to bring in some extra income every month. While the monetary incentive of a rental property might be the main motivation for you to add a modular home to your property, it is important to remember it’s a business that requires some thought and care.

Even if everyone isn’t working from home, it is estimated that at least 70% of the workforce works remotely at least one day during the workweek. This means that remote work is going to stick around, and having a backyard office at home is more desirable than ever. Having a customizable, quiet space designed with efficiency and enough lighting can be a game-changer, allowing you to create the perfect work-life balance you have always desired.
