ADU Development with Condoization Strategy

Shane Sanders discusses a strategy of buying single-family homes on large lots, constructing accessory dwelling units (ADUs), and then condoizing the property to create multiple parcels. This method allows him to maximize cash flow and property value without the need for city subdivision approval.

This strategy is particularly useful for real estate investors looking to maximize the potential of a single property while adhering to local zoning regulations. The target audience includes real estate investors and developers, particularly those in areas with restrictive zoning laws. Tools and tactics involve understanding local and state regulations, working with architects for design, and efficient construction management.
