Using real-world projects and market data, Kisha will break down ADU types and development paths; short-, mid-, and long-term rental strategies; build costs, rents, vacancy, appraised value, and tax impact; financing and insurance considerations; and opportunities for mortgage offset and multigenerational living. You'll see what ADU development actually looks like through real costs, timelines, rents, and break-even considerations, along with common mistakes and what to consider before moving forward.
