ADU Revolution 2026: Turn Your Backyard Into Cash Flow

ADU Revolution 2026: Turn Your Backyard Into Cash Flow

Stuck in the housing gridlock but sitting on equity? The biggest opportunity in real estate right now might be behind your house, not on Zillow. In this solo episode, Mikey breaks down how ADUs (and JADUs) can unlock cash flow, boost your property value, and even in California be split and sold under AB 1033 if your city allows it.

Why this matters now:

  • Prices up ~60% since 2019, rates still above 6%, and existing sales at a 30-year low—the market is frozen for buyers and locked-in owners alike.

  • AB 1033 can let you legally split off your backyard ADU as its own saleable property (city approval required).

  • ADU momentum is real: permits rose ~61% (2020→2021) and ~1 in 5 new CA homes in 2023 was an ADU. Streamlined approvals, reduced setbacks, and fee breaks help.
