Garage Converted into BEAUTIFUL 1-Bed/1-Bath for $30,000
Рет қаралды 81,329
Күн бұрынGarage conversions can dramatically change the face (and profit) of your property. Taking unused space and turning it into a cash-flowing residence isn’t anything new, but most homeowners and investors still don’t know how easy an ADU conversion can be. Derek Sherrell, commonly known as “That ADU Guy,” has been fixated on turning extra space into affordable accessory dwelling units for years.
Derek turned a primary residence with a garage into a multifamily investment property for just $30,000. This garage conversion ADU comes with new appliances, hardwood floors, storage, and plenty of space. Thanks to nearby alley access and utility hookups, Derek was able to get this property permitted, renovated, and approved for his next lineup of new renters, without breaking the bank. This property should cash flow handsomely after all is said and done, and shows just how easy it is to build (or convert) your own ADU!

My gramma had one of these when u was growing up! She let any family member down on thuer luck stay there until they could get back onthier feet! Then as she aged she lived in the "little house" and her daughter moved into the main house. I think that is why I'm always dreaming of finishing my garage into a little house!!

The DIY garage conversion is a great option to consider for house hackers, first time buyers, new investors and the like. If you have zero construction experience, find a friend, family member or builder in your network that does and start asking questions. All you need to duplicate this affordable strategy is the right instruction, the right tools and the right mindset... Oh yeah, and a place to store all your stuff that use to take up space in your garage :)

W/D is key. I will say that when possible (a closet depth of 34" or more) use a two piece washer dryer. That way if one of the two breaks or needs parts, you can bring in just that unit. I had an extra attached combo in my shop, that is way there is a single unit in this closet.

I just can't wrap my mind around the plumbing like sewer and how to stop water from freezing if I run a water line from the house
@charlesme2 5 ай бұрын
@@lisaln3987 I went over the top here. We trenched a line 2 feet down. To the garage. We have insulated the water line and dug under the foundation to connect it under the house (crawlspace) unfortunately I couldn't go under the garage because of cement slab. So here is what I did. Wrapped insulation around the pipe where it came out. Then I bent a U shape about 4 inches on all 3 sides. Sprayed spray foam on the pipe then spray foamed what I made in the u-shape and mashed that down on the pipe. There is about 5 inches of foam between it and the outside. I wish I could post pictures on here for visual. I basically tried to over due everything regarding possible freeing. It turned out good. The sewer runs right under my garage so that was renting a cement cutter and a jack hammer to lay out everything how I wanted. We just added a mini split and that added $1700 to the total cost. Also I made my 16 foot garage door into a 6 foot insulated garage door with a side mount motor. I did this for 2 reasons. I want people to think it's a garage still and just in case down the road, if we want to add a French door or a sliding door then it's already the exact size for it.

They used the same equipment, piping, underground drainage system just like a regular home. If there is heating in the unit, there should be no concerns about pipes freezing.

@KCMcKeown Жыл бұрын
The issue with ADU's is if you're looking to scale depending on your market... they won't be able to offset your mortage/count as income without two years of rental history and properly filed taxes. Whereas a MFH - the other side of a duplex for example... will immediately. This in the long run could kill your DTI.
@ThatADUGuy Жыл бұрын
Good points to scale options but in this case we are simply adding permitted sf to the property. This strategy works best for the house hacker, new investor, investors priced out of small multi fam and first time buyers (new fed rules on 75% rents to dti for owners occ ADUs)
@KCMcKeown Жыл бұрын
@@neuralgarden you will have to have a years worth of profitability from the unit itself to count against your DTI… shown in your taxes filed. You can’t just rent it out immediately and then offset it next month.

I'm living in a brand new 1000 sq ft adu with no storage, no closet for winter jackets, no linen closet, no cabinet space in kitchen, and I have to leave the kitchen to turn on a kitchen light. Terrible waste of space with beautiful cathedral ceiling in one long bowling alley room. Grateful I have a roof over my head but can't believe what a waste of space with no design.

WORST design I think I've ever seen. Just terrible. How that will ever pass fire code, I don't know. And when you add in a pocket door separating a toilet from the kitchen (EW) and the cheap fiberglass tub, you're going to keep paying and paying for this one.
