What we measured§ 02
Clear buildable rectangle (satellite estimate)
Property snapshot§ 01
Automated estimate from satellite imagery and current county parcel records, not a final determination. A licensed specialist confirms eligibility, cost, and rent before any agreement. Not a guarantee of approval.
§ Financing · Build now, pay as rent flows
You don't need the cash. You need the plan.
Most homeowners build their ADU with financing — a HELOC, a construction loan, or renovation financing — not out of pocket. Some programs offer no payments for the first 12 months, so rent can start flowing before payments begin. Subject to lender approval. Tell us your project and we'll match you to the right financing partner.
Apply in minutes with our financing partner, RenoFi — they underwrite on your home's value after the ADU is built, unlocking far more borrowing power than a standard HELOC.
No payments until your ADU is complete. On select programs your rent can start before the first payment is due. — subject to lender approval
Financing is provided by independent third-party lenders via RenoFi and is subject to credit approval. American ADU is not a lender and does not make credit decisions. *Deferred-payment programs are offered by select lenders, subject to credit approval; terms vary by lender.
