Thanks for the great content Hektor - I just broke ground on our ADU after almost 2 years of planning!

[Iamtherodlight.]

So awesome brother thank you very much for sharing. It really helps a lot and by the way the farm work on this foundation is exceptional.

[andres]

They are expensive lessons, but its an education. You likely wont make the same mistakes again, thank you for sharing the experience.

[Iamtherodlight.]

That’s the one thing that I miss about not being in California anymore all the skilled trades people.

Awesome Hektor! I am planning two SFR+ADU on my land in Florida. Learning how to owner-builder. First time I've seen SFR+ADU+JADU (not allowed in FL yet).

Much better video than the first video I came across.. First video I saw was 45k for LA ADU where he was calling for how easy it was to do.. I can totally hear it in his voice on this video, that it ain’t as easy anymore.. 😅 Breaking down cost now and everything, good stuff👍

hektor I love your videos man. Thanks for putting this info out there. Question, why didn't you go with a HELOC vs the cash out refinance?

[TheBerlyn]

Hey Hektor does this also apply if you want to start from scratch new development? And also I have a bunch of family that does electrical, framing the construction field they’re not contractors but they’re foreman in their companies can I hire them with no problems from the city? Thank you great content

[scottc.]

Hektor, this looks like it will be a great series! How often will you be posting? Can we see the basic footprint dimensions? Thanks!

[Chrismmaworld]

[Soinzbee]

Hektor, you are wonderful! That is a great tip, thank you!

great videos. please do more videos like this

[IvanSanchez-qtfq]

Thanks for the info. I'm looking to do almost an exact build as you're with a 2 story ADU. Love the cost breakdown .

Is their a way to purchase the exact plans ? Or for you to share your layout of the 2 story. I understand it can be unique to the build.

[elimcg]

How are you splitting utilities for your tenants? Or do you have separate meters? Like a separate water meter? That could be very costly.

[ceh]

Good morning do you have anyone you can recommend that can provide a bid on building a ADU, im the current homeowner. im in Lakewood

[charo]

Great content although the information is deceiving $200K for an owner builder but for people that will have to hire a contractor will be more and an additonal 10-15% flush coz there is no such thing as perfect planning. There will be changes during the process.

[jasonsongs]

Since youre doing an owner build where you can source things cheaper and source cheaper you say the cost could be closer to $120k vs $200k?

Hey Hektor. Can you hep me to contact with Nataly. I want to build ADU in the back yard

[kennynguyen]

Hey Hektor - These videos are super helpful. Whats the email that we can contact you at? I checked your website and it only lists the phone number. We are looking to move back to Socal in a few years around the garden grove area and plan to do an ADU/JADU as well. Would love your consult on the preparation and hopefully enlist your services when we are ready to move.
