You're already paying every month. The question is what it's building.
What are you paying now?
Your $2,050/month could become a ~$1,461/month loan payment — less than you pay now — while building an asset you own.
| Keep paying rent | Build a KĒĒP ADU | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly payment | $2,050 | ~$1,461 |
| Monthly difference | — | $589 less per month |
| After 10 years | $246,000 spent, nothing owned | Loan paid down + ~$22,800 equity gained |
| What you own at the end | Nothing | An appreciating asset on your own land |
Equity gained is the increase in your property's value — typically less than the full build cost. Loan payment assumes financing the full build cost at an estimated 8.5% rate over 30 years — verify with a lender.
