Speaker Bio:
Hello, my name is Dolf. I am an engineer by profession, but I have a passion for real estate investing. I bought many properties in the Los Angeles area. I rehabbed, added square footage, and kept them as rentals. I have also invested in rental properties out-of-state and internationally. One of my many rewarding experiences is building or adding square footage to an existing home. I learned how to do that perfectly and correctly with the city’s blessing.
You will learn:
- How to get state and city grants
- Four phases of building an ADU
- Planning, permits, and construction loans
- How to build yourself OR hire competent contractors
- Appreciation and rental benefits of an ADU
