Welcome to the ADU Owner-Builder Club — a private community for homeowners who want to take control of their ADU project, manage it confidently, and save $100K + by going owner-builder.
Inside you’ll find:
• Real budgets, timelines, and lessons from homeowners building their own ADUs
• Step-by-step resources: templates, checklists, and planning tools
• Guidance on navigating city permitting, hiring trades, financing, and avoiding markups
• Weekly discussions, Q&A, and community to keep you moving forward
I started this after finishing my own 400 sq ft ADU in La Mesa for about $100K — when every GC bid was $250-$300K+. It completely changed how I view homebuilding, and now I want to help other homeowners do the same.
I added about $250,000 in equity to my property and rent the ADU for $2700/mo.
Founding membership is $47 / month for the first 20 members (your rate locks in for life).
Let’s make the owner-builder path simple, transparent, and profitable — together.
