“ADU rental income math works best in LA's mid-tier neighborhoods, not just the luxury zip codes. A $170K ADU in Reseda generating $2,100/month cash flows better than a $300K ADU in Brentwood generating $3,500/month once you factor in property tax basis and construction cost per sqft.”
Include an in-unit washer/dryer hookup in the ADU scope, even if the tenant will supply appliances. Laundry access is the top amenity that determines rental price and tenant quality in LA's competitive rental market. The rough plumbing and electrical hookup costs $400–600 more than no hookup; the rental premium is $150–250/month.
