$65K ADU Garage Conversion Tour + BIG Cost-Saving Tips

An ADU garage conversion can transform your extra space into a cash-flowing rental property in your own front or backyard. ADUs (accessory dwelling units) like this have become the norm in 2023 as home prices stay sky-high and permitting pains run rampant. The best part about this strategy? You can do it for FAR less than it would cost to buy another rental property, allowing you to take home more passive income without paying off a half-a-million-dollar mortgage. If you want to know the right way to do a garage conversion ADU, Derek Sherrell, AKA “That ADU Guy,” is your man. He’s been building ADUs longer than almost anyone else and has the cost-saving tips and space-enhancing design you need to turn where you park your cars into a real rental property. We’ll tour Derek’s one-bedroom, one-bathroom, 500+ sq ft ADU and hear exactly how he built, designed, and budgeted for it. What extra space could you turn into another passive income stream? Would you try your hand at a garage conversion?
