On a $150k ADU, twelve months of delay can add $4,500–$7,500 to the same build.

Common ADU mistakes
Waiting is the expensive option
A 1% rate drop saves about $90 / month
Meanwhile $2,000 apartment rent is $24,000 over the year you waited.
You can lose $21,600 in rent
At $1,800 a month, a year without the ADU is income that never arrives.
