Financing Options

Home equity line of credit (HELOC)

HELOCs provide a flexible option for financing ADU projects for homeowners with sufficient equity, despite potential higher interest rates and fees.

Refinance Your Existing Mortgage

Cash-out refinancing allows homeowners to potentially lower rates and integrate ADU costs into their mortgage, based on current home value vs. remaining mortgage balance.

New loan

Construction loans offer flexible ADU financing based on future property value, requiring a solid plan and financial health, with inherent risks like cost overruns.

Cons of off-site construction

You’ve probably heard people get their ADUs craned into their backyard after it has been built in a factory.

But it isn’t as good as it sounds, here are some things you should consider when you go with a factory-built ADU: 

  • Your choices in shape, size, and design are constrained by transport limits.
  • Crane operations pose significant safety risks.
  • Damage during transit is not uncommon

 

At Golden State Designs, we believe your home should be as unique as you are. That’s why we specialize in fully customized, on-site constructed ADUs tailored to your vision.

Say goodbye to one-size-fits-all solutions and hello to a home that truly reflects you!
