Run the numbers

It’s not a six-figure cost. It’s a monthly payment that builds equity.

Pick a plan and a financing path to see your estimated monthly payment, the rent it could earn, and what that nets you.

Estimated monthly payment$0Estate 600 all-in · HELOC at an illustrative 8%
Estimated monthly rent$0Comparable-market estimate
Net monthly cash flow+$0Rent covers the payment with room to spare

All figures are prior to verifying site characteristics on your lot.

Annual cash flow+$7,472/yr

Even if you build for family, your property value climbs the day the ADU is done — instant equity, whether you ever rent it or not.

Estimates only, for illustration. Rates, rents, and value increases vary — your exact all-in price comes from a Formal Property Analysis of your property.

Common questions

Pricing & financing FAQ

It's your starting point — the standard all-in price that covers the ADU and everything standard. Your exact number is confirmed through a Formal Property Analysis, where our architect and engineering team verify 250+ property-specific items (utilities, site conditions, city rules). Once that's done, you have a reliable price you can actually build on — no assumptions, no surprises.

See the 3 steps to your exact price

It's the on-site verification step that turns ideas into certainty. For $500 — fully credited toward your build — our architect and engineering team visits your property and confirms 250+ items: setbacks and property lines, easements, sewer and electrical capacity, site conditions, and every city-specific rule. You walk away with a confirmed buildable plan, a reliable project cost, and a clear path forward.

Schedule your Formal Property Analysis

Often, yes. HELOC and cash-out refinance options draw on the equity you already have in your home, so there's no separate down payment required. During your free office visit we'll help you see what's possible for your situation.

Estimate my monthly payment

Most lenders look for a score around 620 or higher, and 680+ typically earns the best rates and terms. We work with ADU-specialized lenders and can point you toward the right fit.

Talk it through with an ADU specialist

Pre-approval is usually just a few days; full approval typically takes 2–4 weeks. We recommend starting the conversation early so financing is ready by the time your plans are permit-ready.

Start the conversation early — book a visit

Yes. We partner with lenders who specialize in ADUs and walk you through your options during your free office visit — no obligation, just clarity on what makes sense for you.
