Building and renting a Casita on your property could be a great way to earn additional income. It’s much cheaper than purchasing a new property and is often a beginner-friendly way for new investors to get their feet wet in real estate investing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the cost of building a casita<\/strong> and the potential upsides<\/em> ultimately hinge on the state and local laws you’re subject to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In this article, we will take a brief look at how much it will cost to build a casita in all 50 states and what you stand to gain (whether you treat your casita as a rental unit<\/strong> or an extension of your home<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n A casita, also known as an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), is a separate living space<\/a> that exists on the same property as a primary residence. A casita can be attached to an existing structure or detached<\/strong> from the main property. This type of accessory dwelling unit can vary in size<\/strong> and function. For instance, it can operate as a short-term or long-term rental or simply serve as a backyard guest house for visiting family members. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that you have the definition of a casita squared away, it’s time to dig into the casita construction costs (including the cost of acquiring the necessary building permits). <\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat is a Casita?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
