In the ever-expanding share economy, homeowners are beginning to learn the value of having some extra space in their home. Today, there are a variety of lucrative ways people rent out spare rooms, basements, or attached apartments to add to their monthly income. An accessory dwelling unit is an especially attractive idea for expanding both your home and your savings. R. Clary Builders in Kailua, HI, explains some of the most significant benefits of accessory dwelling units. 

3 Top Benefits of an Accessory Dwelling Unit

1. Extra Income

With people renting extra bedrooms and semi-finished basements, having an entirely separate apartment on one's property is a surefire way to gain an edge on other renters and charge more to tenants. Because they're usually fully functional and separate from the main house, accessory dwelling units even attract couples and families, expanding the possibilities of how you advertise the space and how many bedrooms you include. 

2. Visitors

What better way to put a sibling, parent, or close friend up for the weekend than in an accessory dwelling unit? Having a separate apartment next to or attached to your home is a luxury not only for you, but for everyone you host. Your house will become famous among friends and family for its comfortable and spacious accommodations. 

3. ADU Comeback

While accessory dwelling units were extremely popular in the early and middle parts of the 20th century, they eventually fell out of favor with builders and homeowners. Today, however, they're making a big comeback — and for obvious reasons. ADUs may be the single savviest way to take advantage of the new renting economy.
