Why Families Are Choosing ADUs

CMG Launches the Fathers House Oroville Community Land Trust

Across the country, families are facing rising housing costs, limited space, and changing lifestyles. ADUs provide a flexible way to adapt.

Create Space for Loved Ones

ADUs are perfect for:

• Aging parents who want independence while staying close to family
• Adult children saving for a home or transitioning into adulthood
• Family members returning home temporarily
• Guests, caregivers, or close friends needing stable housing
• Private home offices, studios, or wellness spaces

Instead of overcrowding your home, an ADU gives everyone more privacy, comfort, and dignity.

A More Affordable Housing Option

Traditional home additions and new construction can be expensive and time-consuming due to variable pricing, labor delays, and  more. Modular ADUs are factory-built, and can even come furnished, all providing a smoother and more cost-effective way to add living space and increase property options.

Keep Family Close

Many homeowners want to stay connected to family without sacrificing privacy. Backyard homes create a healthy balance between independence and togetherness.

Modular smart home ADUs are designed to maximize space while maintaining a modern and comfortable feel.

Features Include:

• Sizes ranging from 200–1,000 square feet

Our homes are built to last and designed for year-round comfort.

Modular Smart Home Neighborhoods: A Better Alternative to Trailer Parks

Mobile home parks often have units with limited lifespan and low resale value due to wear and tear. In contrast, modular smart homes are built to last with modern materials and designs that meet greater safety and environmental standards.

As mobile home park laws become stricter, many trailer parks are being forced to adhere to higher safety and environmental standards, driving up costs and reducing the affordability of this housing solution.

Custom-Built Starter Homes

Modular smart home villages on the other hand, are a superior alternative to mobile home parks. They offer safe, well-priced, and energy-efficient housing for communities looking for middle-priced and lower-priced alternatives.

Well-Priced and Scalable Solutions for Individuals and Families

ADUs provide flexibility, affordability, and long-term value for homeowners, families, and communities. Whether you are adding units, providing family housing, or building a smart home neighborhood, CMG can help.

Backyard ADUs Can Add Value to Your Property

Adding an ADU can increase the value of your property by as much as 30%+, depending on several factors. This can lead to a substantial return on investment, especially in high-demand rental areas.

Fast, Streamlined Installation

Compared to traditional construction, ADUs can often be completed much faster.

CMG helps guide homeowners through:

• Feasibility evaluation
• Design planning
• Financing options
• Permitting support
• Contractor coordination
• Delivery and installation

Most projects can move from order to installation within approximately 3–6 months depending on location and permitting timelines.

Financial Benefits and Government Incentives

• Tax Benefits and Incentives
  Building an ADU may qualify you for state and local incentives, including tax breaks and grants for affordable housing. CMG can help you navigate these opportunities to maximize your investment.
• Potential for Long-Term Rental Income
  Once built, ADUs offer you the opportunity to generate passive income through long-term rental contracts. In high-demand areas, ADUs can provide a significant return on investment. 2 Bedroom ADUs in markets like California and New York have been known to generate $2,000 to $4,000 in monthly rental income, depending on the location and unit size.

Investment ROI and Typical Mortgage Terms for ADUs

• High Return on Investment (ROI)
  Building an ADU is one of the most cost-effective ways to increase the value of your property and generate income. On average, ADUs can deliver an ROI of 20% to 40% in property value increase and the same annual return on initial investment from a cashflow perspective. This means that an ADU can pay for itself over time through increased rents and higher property value at sale.
• Take on an ADU Mortgage
  CMG’s lender network in the US currently offers financing for ADUs according to the below summary terms:
  • Terms up to 30 years
  • Interest rates from 5-9%, depending on your credit score and the type of financing
  • Low down payment: As low as 3% down payment with minimum credit score of 620, co-signors allowed
  • No collateralization of existing property is possible
  • 10 year structural warranty
  • Can use the anticipated rental income as part of your total income

  With our fast installation and good financing, you can spread out the costs and start earning rental income and/or begin reaching your goals sooner.
