@Brian Ploszay 

Yes...everything is permitted and legal.....good looking out!

I will be living in the front house and the ADU will be built over the detached garage.

So you are saying you would not spend the money to separate the utilities?

Thanks...

Hi Biggerpocket Team!

I am going to start a significant remodel of my house in Santa Monica and wanted to maximize all possible rebates, grants or energy rebates that are available for new roofs, windows, appliances, insulation, landscaping..ect.

I have a basic list (local municipality and appliance rebates) but didn't know if there was anything that I was missing or didn't know about...possibly other agencies?

Any and all advice is much appreciated.

Thank you,

Ronnie

HI Biggerpocket Team!

I am about to break ground on the remodel of my home and am building an ADU over my garage for the same property.

My question is....is it worth spending the money to separate the utilities or just have one water, electric and gas meter?

During my search on BP it looks like some people don't believe they will get the ROI on spending the money to separate meter on any property...then there are some that do RUBS, submeter...ect.

ADU's are unique and wanted to see if anyone has done one and what their experience and thoughts were.

Any and all advice is appreciated.

Thank you,

Ronnie
