Property Owner
Quiz – True or False?
You'd be happy to see a DADU in your yard.
Your property isn't in an HOA that prohibits DADUs.
You want to create a passive income stream.
You’re not a builder or rental property manager.
You don’t know how to legally condominiumize your property and set up the HOA.
You don’t have enough capital to fund the entire DADU cost.
You don’t want alternative financing (personal loans, hard-cash lenders, liquidating retirement funds, etc.).
Your property is over 6,000 sqft (including the main home’s footprint).
You don’t want to rob a bank. 😂
If you answered True…
Then congratulations!
SkyDADU is a one-stop-shop for all things DADU. We finance, build and manage DADUs all under the same umbrella.
But of course, we understand that your circumstances as the Property Owner may be different from others’. That’s why SkyDADU has tailored programs to meet your specific goals and financial situation.
Explore the different options below to see what may best suit your needs.
Joint Venture
Do you have an existing detached garage that has unobstructed access from the alley or driveway?
If so, you may qualify for $0 Money Down / 100% Financing, and have SkyDADU do all the work to build a new DADU.
Two Options:
- You and SkyDADU share the profit 50/50. In this option, you as the Property Owner are interested in generating income from the sale of the new DADU. But you also have an option* to buyback the equity and turn the DADU into a passive income stream.
- You sell the existing detached garage to SkyDADU outright. In this option, you as the property owner are interested in selling the (old, dilapidated…?) existing garage as-is, and receiving the sales proceeds at the closing before SkyDADU builds a new DADU.
*Terms and conditions apply.
Partnership
Do you have unused space in your yard where a DADU can be built?
The new law is upending municipal zoning by allowing DADUs to be built in what used to be considered the encroachment areas. SkyDADU will perform feasibility to ensure viability and comprise all cost associated into a breakdown for you to review.
So, if you believe DADU to be a better investment than the stocks and bonds, start at the 50% equity position and let SkyDADU help you achieve your long-term financial goals.
Hybrid
Do you need financing for your DADU but intend to rent it only to your family members?
If you plan to exclusively have your family members move into the DADU but don’t have enough funds to cover the entire cost, SkyDADU will still need to provide the legal services (condominiumiziation, LLC & HOA set ups, etc.) until you buyout the entire equity. In this scenario, SkyDADU can bridge the gap through its equity financing program up to 50%.
Or, do you have the funds to cover the entire construction cost of your DADU but need assistance to set it up properly so you can rent it to non-family members?
In this scenario, you hire Sockeye Homes directly, but SkyDADU can still provide its legal services to condominiumize the DADU, set up the LLC and HOA, etc. to protect you from potential issues that can arise with non-family renters.
Sockeye Direct
Do you have the funds to cover the entire construction cost of your DADU, and intend to rent it only to your family members?
If so, you don’t need SkyDADU. Sockeye Homes can turn your dream into reality by having you choose from the following 3 options:
- Using a DADU package
- Modifying a package, or…
- Drawing a custom plan from scratch to meet your needs and wants.
Example – Alex in a 50% Partnership with SkyDADU:
Cash-on-Cash Return (CoCR)
Cash-on-Cash Return (CoCR) for Property Owner:
CoCR is a key metric used in real estate investment to measure the annual return on the cash invested in a property. This metric provides you, the Property Owner, with a clear picture of your DADU’s profitability relative to your initial cash outlay. It helps you understand how much cash flow you can expect to receive as a percentage of your cash investment, making it a straightforward tool for assessing whether your DADU can be a good passive income stream or not.
Example – Alex, the Property Owner:
- Total DADU Construction Cost: $380,000
- Alex’s Investment: $190,000 (50% equity) + $9,500 (SkyDADU Legal Origination Fee of 5%) = $199,500
- Projected Rental Income:
- Monthly Rent: $4,000 – $700 (Projected Property Tax, Insurance and HOA Fee) = $3,300
- Annual Rental Income: $39,600
- Alex’s Share of Rental Income:
- Since Alex invested the minimum requirement of 50%, Alex receives 50% of the rental income:
- Alex’s Projected Annual Rental Income: $19,800
- Cash-on-Cash Return (COCR):
- COCR = $19,800 ÷ $199,500 = 9.92%
In this example, Alex earns a Cash-on-Cash Return of about 10% annually. Of course, the rent may not remain at $4,000 per month during the 5-year SkyDADU contract duration so the CoCR can vary based on the rental market conditions.
Return On Investment (ROI)
Return On Investment (ROI) for Alex in 5 years:
ROI in real estate measures the profitability of an investment by comparing the net profit to the initial cost plus other costs incurred over the 5-year period (such as maintenance & repairs beyond the HOA requirements, listing seller broker & buyer agent fee (5%), and the ECT [End-of-Contract Title Transfer] Fee at 1%).
- Total (Assumed) DADU Maintenance & Repair Cost Over 5 Years:
$6,000 including WSST - Alex’s Total Investment Cost over the 5 Years:
$199,500 + ($6,000 ÷ 2) = $202,500 - Alex’s Total Rental Income in 5 Years (from CoCR): $99,000
- DADU Projected Listing Price (Assuming $600,000 as the Baseline Value at DADU Completion with Bellevue’s Average Annual Appreciation [Source: zillow.com] of 9.4%): $1,008,305
- Listing Seller Broker & Buyer Agent Fees (2.5% x 2): $50,415
- ECT Fee (1%): $10,083
- Projected Net Profit for Alex (Alex Kept the 50% Equity Position for the 5 Years): $99,000 + [($1,008,305 – $50,415 – $10,083) x 50%] – $202,500 = $370,403
- Projected ROI for Alex: ($370,403 ÷ $202,500)*100 = 182.9%
In this example, Alex earns, projected not guaranteed, a 182.9% ROI in 5 years. But remember, this is assuming that Alex had the prerequisite capital of $202,500 in cash. So if Alex had to borrow to meet the prerequisite, then Alex would have to deduct the payments to calculate the CoCR and ROI. All in all, even if you have to finance a portion of the prerequisite, ROI will most likely come in favorable to the Property Owner because the lack of affordable housing is expected to persist for the next decade and beyond.
