What you need to know about...

Grants!

$40,000 grants from the state, and constantly improving changes in the law are forcing your local government to make it easier for you to do what used to be impossible.

When the state issues a $40,000 grant, but the application portal is open for less than a day, you want to be in the know.  There are other challenges in getting the grants.  Sadly, not everyone will get these grants. Knowledge is power!  (And less frustration!) 

As a Founding Member and Community Builder, you will benefit from the guidance to navigate the ever-changing dynamic environment of rules, laws, and incentives that, frankly, even a lot of local authorities probably do not understand yet.  

Imagine years from now as you look back to this time.  

Will you regret that this opportunity came and went?  Or will you feel so proud of yourself for getting the resources to make this happen? 

You want to look back knowing you did the research to learn the safest, least expensive ways to get your ADU, and you will be happy you took full advantage of every resource available to you.

Others get stuck in this admittedly complex process.  

But you realize the benefits of clarity and convenience, so you can go faster than anyone else!

Why this community exists:

If you want:

  • Clear, helpful explanations
  • Simple steps you can control
  • Confidence when you talk to the city or contractors  
  • …and probably most importantly - the camaraderie of like-minded people that are in this process with you!

We're going to break down parts of the process where people frequently get "stuck" from both a practical and mindset view.

And we're going to help you work through those parts as swiftly and easily as possible.

Opportunity this membership offers you:

We're starting this community off with 3 big tools:

  1. Community:  A private moderated Facebook community with less noise and more REAL advice
  2. Tools & resources that we are constantly enhancing based on group feedback
  3. Mentorship:  An interactive community to mentor and be mentored! 

Additionally, in this dynamic environment of the growth of ADUs everywhere, we are responsively offering members the most up-to-date information and training on the things that affect you and your ADU plans!  
  • State grants status, changes in law and zoning, 
  • Latest approved building structures, and more!  
  • All are presented through multimedia webinars, urgent posts or messages, and/or interactive video calls and Q&As! 

This commUNITY will be your lifeline! 

Interact with like-minded people who are all in the same process! 

There will be members that are a bit ahead of you in the process who will advise you, and likewise, there will be others that will want to hear the insights YOU have to share!  (If giving to others doesn’t sound good to you, please do not join.  We are only looking for Founding Members who are generous and helpful!)

Limited Time Offer

Too good to be true?

The only catch is that I want you to tell me what parts are working best and which parts need some polish.

As a Founding Member, you get to shape the experience for future generations of members. 

We will be limiting the number accepted at this time, so please be understanding if it turns into a Waiting List before you get a chance to join.

Most of you are going to spend six figures on this ADU over the next year of your life.  
  • What if joining saves only saves you 1%?  (Others have saved 25-50%!)  
  • What if you have half the frustration? 
  • What will the value be to you if you know what your permitting office really can and can’t deny you?
  • How much peace will it bring into your life to compare others’ cost estimates and projections?  etc.

Because this group creates a lot of value in a very expensive process, we're soon going to be raising the monthly fee, but founding members like you are going to get a very special deal because I really want your feedback.

I'll let you in for $199 a month with no minimum commitment. So you can come in and check it out.

If you're ready to check it out and let me know what you think, then click "Join Now"

Since the value of this program will easily pay for itself in cost savings and time, this program could easily be valued at $5-10K, and in fact, the price will increase soon.  But you will be grandfathered in and keep your low monthly fee.

Quick! Before this offer ends and fees increase!
