For example, it might cost $80K to build but they charge $120K.Financing Kickbacks – Some partner with lenders and earn referral fees or offer in-house financing to profit from interest or servicing.Revenue Sharing Models – Some newer companies will build the ADU for little to no upfront cost in exchange for a cut of future rental income (often through Airbnb).Prefab/Modular Units – By using standardized designs and factory-built models, they reduce build time and labor costs, increasing profit margins.Add-Ons – Upselling property management, furniture packages, solar, or landscaping adds extra revenue per project.Each company is most likely going to be a bit different, but those are the common ways they monetize the service.
