Are ADUs in Denver Metro area worth it?

[Jesse Englund-Rohlf]

Hey Fellow Denver investors!

I'm thinking about putting an ADU on a future single family home as part of my wife & I's house hack strategy. Has anybody out there successfully pulled one off? I've heard that the permitting process was getting easier but we're probably going to avoid Denver & Boulder counties and target either Westminster, Broomfield, JeffCo or Adams. What does that permitting/build timeline & process look like? Can you finance an ADU? Is there a good forced equity bump on the property once completed? Looking for any advice or cautionary tales from people's experience.

Thanks!
