2) Think about your ADU’s placement, interior floor plan, and outdoor space

To create the best ADU possible, we recommend considering three major factors: the placement on the property, the interior floor plan, and an outdoor space feature. The best ADUs that get the best return on investment would usually include a private entrance for the tenant, a spacious floor plan with enough storage, and a small outdoor space like a patio or a backyard. A well-designed unit will offer the best rental value, best property value increase, and best overall usability. - Danny Shuster, Chief Construction Officer of LA Construction Compliance, CCS Inc.
