I am thrilled to have two great speakers and two great topics for our event in November. Very happy to have Vinney “Smile” Chopra of Moneil Investment and Saliq Hussani of BuildShilo present at our next event.

A High Return SFR Investment in California: ADUs
One of the most promising real estate investments you can make today is in your backyard, and it's called an accessory dwelling unit. An ADU (aka backyard home, granny flat, in-law suite) is a secondary housing unit that you can place in your backyard to generate rental income, house your loved ones, or work from home. With recent changes in California legislation, it has never been easier to build an ADU.
Why are ADUs good investments?
- You utilize SFR land that you already own
- No major infrastructure additions necessary
- Increases the property value
- High rental income
