ADU (additional dwelling units) is the discussion in this episode. Hannah Cranny is a Realtor and Rookie of the Year nominee for Whatcom County, who has not only helped clients buy homes with ADU's, but she has built an ADU as well that she rents out. In fact, Hannah built a home and lives in with roommates and the ADU paying her entire mortgage.
Paul Balzotti and Hannah discuss the process of building an ADU, the hurdles to make it happen, the difference between an ADU and a duplexes, how renting out part of your home or property creates more affordability for all
