ADU Design and Build - Asset Diversification within Real Estate

Join us for an informative workshop on designing and building ADUs, featuring Michael Soto & Patricia Denise - Founder and Co-Founder of Origami Design-Build. (We'll also have some time for networking!)
In today's uncertain market conditions, creative investors look for ways to diversify without overextending. One of the most overlooked ways to do that is through Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). Working side-by-side with a licensed and experienced design-build firm, ADUs offer a streamlined, lower-risk way to enhance returns and create multiple revenue streams from a single asset. Building an ADU can be one of the smartest investments you make — but only if it's done right. Many homeowners and investors are tempted to manage the project themselves or hire unlicensed labor to cut costs. Unfortunately, that often leads to costly mistakes, months of delays, and legal headaches. Hiring a licensed general contractor (GC) is critical for a successful ADU build.
