ADUs and ADU Bills with John Arendsen #671

Aaron Norris is joined this week by John Arendsen of Backyard Homes and several other companies to discuss accessory dwelling units. John is a licensed general contractor, manufactured home contractor, a licensed real estate broker and manufactured home dealer. This makes him a quadruple threat. He's been Aaron's go to for the last several years about accessory dwelling units. They met because of an introduction by Linda Scott out at SDCIA, and they've just had a great time getting to know each other. He gets to nerd out with legislation, anything around accessory dwelling units for the last year, and his whole family is actually involved in the business. His son and daughter run the main operations for on-the-level general contractors. His wife operates MH Processing LLC, and she's been a great resource for lending around the manufactured space. Aaron always bugs her about questions regarding ADUs 

In this segment, Aaron and John will discuss ADUs, Junior ADUs, what properties fall under this category, how many people are even aware of them, the different bills that were passed regarding ADUs, who the biggest loser was when it came to the bills, the unique code Aaron uses to understand the exemptions for where ADUs can't be built, AB-68, opportunity zones and commercial real estate, and much more all on the real estate radio show.
