Designed for Life | Built for Income – What a DADU Can Do for You and Your Family
Create Passive Income with Rental DADUs
What was once unusable—or considered an encroachment—is now TWO buildable lots you didn’t know you owned. Rental DADUs turn that hidden space into steady monthly income, taking you from “Is this even possible?” to “This is paying for itself.”
3-Bed 2-Bath in Seattle │ $4,000/month per rental × 2 DADUs = $96,000/year in passive income.
Downsize Smart by Moving into Your DADU
Homeowners can build a DADU on their lot, move into it, and sell the main home. By designating the DADU as a primary residence, you may qualify for the homestead capital gains exemption—an efficient, flexible way to downsize and unlock liquidity.
2 of the last 5 years + married = up to $500,000 in capital gains excluded—making the DADU essentially tax‑free.
Lower Care Cost by Housing Family in a DADU
Senior living facilities often require large deposits, uncertain move‑in timelines, and ongoing add‑on fees. A DADU offers predictable costs, the flexibility to hire your own caregivers for less, and more personalized support in a family‑centered setting.
$180,000+ per person per year for assisted living. The DADU math speaks for itself.
Reduce Your Carbon Footprint with a Sustainable DADU
DADUs built by SkyDADU are designed to use less energy and sustainable materials. With efficient floor plans, modern systems, and eco‑friendly construction, they reduce environmental impact while supporting smarter, more responsible living.
Up to 40% less CO₂ emissions and over 70% less lumber*. Small homes. Big impact. (*when compared to a typical suburban home.)
Build Generational Wealth Through DADU Tax Advantages
DADUs offer meaningful tax benefits—like rental income and depreciation—that boost cash flow today while increasing long‑term property value, helping turn your home into a lasting, generational wealth‑building asset.
$30K net rental income offset by $35K depreciation = $0 taxes on the rental income that year.
Preserve Neighborhood Character with Well-Designed DADUs
Unlike bulky multiplexes that disrupt parking and erase historic homes, DADUs preserve what makes a neighborhood special. The original house stays, while thoughtfully designed units blend seamlessly with existing architecture—adding value and gentle density.
Priceless.
