Overview:
This Van Nuys homeowner had a large backyard sitting unused. They came to Modeno Builders with a goal: turn it into a income-generating rental unit without disrupting their family's daily life.
Our team handled everything from start to finish — site assessment, architectural plans, permit submission through the City of Los Angeles (LADBS), construction, and final inspection sign-off. The permit process took approximately 14 weeks, followed by 16 weeks of construction.
The finished detached ADU is 650 sq ft and features 1 bedroom, 1 full bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen, in-unit laundry hookups, and a private entrance completely separate from the main home. It was rented within 10 days of completion at $2,200 per month.
The homeowner expects full return on investment within 5 years — after which the unit generates pure passive income indefinitely.
