Garage Conversion to Living Space | ADU for $30K

    I’m building an ADU garage conversion. Pushing out one of the walls to add sq feet, will be 712 sqft. Will have a master bedroom plus a small den . It will be a midterm rental, should get about $2k a month fully furnished. Cost will be about $120k in California Central Valley . Going through a divorce and this will help me financially! Good luck to everyone!

    I would have turned that garage into two shotgun house studio apartments. The high ceilings would have been perfect. Six month lease at $529 x 2 = $1,058 The average SS check in the US is $1,767.03 - 70% = $530.10. Most retired people are great renters, especially single-person occupancy. No parties, no fights, no cops, asleep at 7 PM. The long walk to the street is a negative. The thing is, elderly people usually stay in one place If they're happy with the conditions of the property, low turnover rate, and a duplex spreads the occupancy risk out by 50%.

    Looks nice. The bathroom is well designed, and the stacked washer/dryer is a great feature to have in a small, rented home. However, I am having a hard time imagining even a double bed, a small chest of drawers and one small nightstand with table lamp in the bedroom space. Did you make a drawing of where the bedroom furniture would go when you designed this space? I would not have put an egress door in this small bedroom because there is already an egress window. That egress door severely limits where you can place the headboard of a bed. I also would have gone with a 36-inch-wide opening between the bedroom and the living area and placed it in the corner of the bedroom near the closet so I could add a regular hinged door that would swing against the sliding closet door. That would have saved money and created more wall space in the small bedroom for adding a chest of drawers. Using just one side of that bedroom closet for clothing storage really is not enough storage space for a modest amount of clothing for even one adult, certainly not for two adults. A full-time resident needs a chest of drawers for storing undergarments, socks, winter hats/gloves/scarves and assorted wardrobe accessories. A narrower bedroom door would also have created more wall space in the living area. And this would have given you more options for where to place a sofa and a wall-mounted TV.

    So happy to have found your channel! I began planning what we wanted to be an ADU in our 20x20 detached garage. We were converting half of it into a bedroom/bathroom/small kitchen combo living space. I'm wanting to do the work myself other than anything that would call for licensed professional. We follow laws and rules, so we made sure it was okay with our HOA. They are not permitting us to convert unless we sign a waiver that we tear it down upon moving out and that we can only rent it to our family (even though there are lots of renters here). Have you ever come across this type of challenge?

    Many comments on the size of the bedroom. What about putting a Murphy bed/sofa combo in the living area -- since that has the most floor space? Then use the smaller room as a mudroom/ dressing area. This would allow for dressers or storage shelves plus more room to enter through that second egress door.

    Sofa bed or Murphy bed sounds good. @ADU guy - this space of 20x20 ft (6x6 m) is the main home (not an accessory unit) in my country. The poor/ lower middle class are used to living in much smaller spaces. That space would be enough for a whole house: 2 bedrooms, 1 T&B, kitchen, living/ dining area. Heck, some developers make apartments or "row houses" which are 4x5.5 m (around 13 x 18 ft). A whole family of 4 could live in your ADU. I'm also amused that some ppl find the fridge too small. For me, that's a normal sized fridge. Those 2-door fridges are too big. Just giving a different perspective. Congrats on your build!

Typical condo units (studio type) are 24 sqm (4*6m). It's a densely populated country and many ppl are used to living in small spaces. They are shoebox apartments & similar to ones I've seen in NYC (Cash Jordan channel). The tiny houses on the channel Tiny House, Giant Journey - some of those houses, I don't consider as tiny at all.

    It’s pretty but the bedroom closet could have been better thought out. Most people need a little bit more long hanging space than that. You could have done a smaller opening into the bedroom too and used a pocket door there as well to have more wall space. It also needs another closet for coats, vacuum cleaner, mops and other stuff like that. But all in all it’s really nice.

    Hey Joseph! Thanks for the view and comment! In my really small designs (500 sf and under) I try balance noise comforts with practicality while building property management into my units. I have found that the exterior wall of the bedroom closet is the most practical, mostly because of the short vent run (Little to no lint buildup in ducting for me to clean for years to come) and having the W/D in such close vicinity of were clothes are changed and stored. The decibel rating can fluctuate depending on the load size but I try to minimize the sound transfer with solid core closet doors.

    So are dishwashers that popular? I’m just curious if a resident wouldn’t prefer more storage space. Also, is the microwave an oven and hood vent?

  • @ThatADUGuy

    Yes, they are in our market. Also, the DW is storage for clean or dirty dishes. Not a hood vent, just a micro. Many are a combo but not this one due to zoning code. City makes you sign a doc saying you will not have a stove or vent hood so we follow the rules.

    Great video! I just converted my garage to an ADU for $60K and made a budget breakdown video about it! In my video I also talk about how it'd be possible to cut the costs in half, so I agree that it'd be doable for $30K! I invite you to check it out!

    That fridge would be the thing that kills the deal for me. I thought a 15³ ft refrigerator was bad when I found out my complex was replacing our standard size refrigerators with them when they needed it. I bought my own upgraded model rather than deal with such a smaller size refrigerator and especially the freezer. When you live on a budget you have to be able to buy meat when it is on the good sales and that requires a decent sized freezer. A 10³ ft fridge is at best ½ the size of a standard refrigerator. Who wants to shop twice a week because you can't even fit a full weeks groceries for 1 person in the fridge? I guess if you don't cook from scratch and just eaf a lot of packaged processed food from cans and boxes you might could do it but Yuck!!!

    the bedroom has a very awkward layout. No good place to put a bed when there's a closet, door, and window on every wall. Would also be uncomfortable to have a door to the outside in the bedroom. It almost would have made sense if you could use the 'storage' area as a loft, but with only 24 inches of height you can't put a bed up there
