I am building a custom ADU in Los Angeles.

In this series I’ll be sharing the real costs, timelines, and tips for success. From permits to framing to staying on budget, I’m giving you a behind the scenes look at building a legal 3 bed ADU in LA.

Stay tuned for more progress videos and follow for the full journey.

The vision is finally coming together.

This Whittier flip is officially in the design phase, and every decision now is focused on creating a home that feels warm, modern, timeless, and functional.

This was never meant to be a quick cosmetic flip. The goal has always been to renovate the home the right way with new plumbing, structural repairs, roofing, HVAC, updated systems, and thoughtful design throughout.

Now it is all about quality finishes, earthy tones, functional layouts, and details that make the home feel elevated instead of builder grade.

A lot still left before the final reveal, but this transformation is finally starting to come to life.

Follow along to see how this $580K Whittier flip turns out.

Currently building a legal detached 1,200 sq ft, 3 bed, 2 bath ADU in Alhambra, California.

From permit fees and city costs to construction, inspections, timelines, and real budgeting, I’m documenting what it actually takes to build a legal ADU from the ground up in Southern California.

This project has already come with some unbelievable upfront costs before construction even began.

If you’re thinking about building an ADU, investing in real estate, adding rental income, or developing your property, follow along for the real numbers and behind the scenes process.

Would these costs discourage you from building an ADU?

I’m building a detached 1,200 sq/ft, 3 bed, 2 bath ADU and the permit costs alone were shocking.

Before construction. Before foundation. Before a single stake went in the ground.

Everybody says we need more housing and more ADUs, but how does this actually encourage people to build?

Should cities be held accountable for fees like these? Let me know in the comments.

Will this setback make or break the deal? 👀

The reality of renovations is you never really know what’s hiding underneath until demo starts.

Still moving forward and figuring it out one problem at a time.
Goal is still to turn this into an $800K home.

Breaking the sales record for a home under 1,500 square feet in Norwalk got attention.
But the real story happened behind the scenes.

This home sold in just 3 days with more than 100 buyers through a single open house. The challenge was not just creating demand. It was making sure every moving piece lined up perfectly while my client was simultaneously purchasing another home contingent on this sale closing.

We strategically selected the strongest offer based on timing, terms, and performance, not just price. With constant communication between all parties involved, we were able to coordinate both escrows successfully and close without delays.

That is what real estate looks like when strategy meets ex*****on.

Would YOU take this project on?

The plan:
• Open up the kitchen and living space
• Expand the bathroom
• New windows, roof, AC, driveway, fencing & exterior
• Rebuild the garage
• Turn the shed into a flex office space

Goal is to turn this into an $800K home on an $85,000 budget.

This one went nuclear 💥

📍15101 Arlee Ave Norwalk
• Sold for $920,000
• $30,000 over asking
• 15 plus offers
• 100 plus buyers through one open house
• Sold in just 3 days
• Highest sale in the neighborhood

This was not luck. It was strategy.

We did not just list the home, we launched it. Targeted Facebook ads, high converting media, and a system designed to drive real buyers through the door. Maximum exposure, massive demand, and a price that speaks for itself.

In today’s market, the difference is not just the home. It is how it is marketed.

If you are thinking about selling and want to create this kind of competition for your property, let’s talk.

Call/text me 📲 323-821-9872 to get started.

Your home deserves more than a sign in the yard. It deserves a strategy.

The market has shifted

Here is what I am seeing right now

✔ Bidding wars are rare unless the home is truly exceptional
✔ Overpriced homes are sitting with little to no activity
✔ No inquiries no attention and price reductions follow
✔ Buyers are more selective and doing their homework before they ever step inside
✔ Buyers expect big ticket items to be repaired or at least properly maintained
✔ They are negotiating more, pushing for seller credits and their terms are far less aggressive than years past

Pricing is everything in this market

✔ Listing slightly below market is what is driving attention right now
✔ Expect the first offer to come in near or at your asking
✔ Do not list too high or too low you may be surprised at the offers you get
✔ Make sure you are listing at a price you are actually willing to accept

And here is what many sellers are still getting wrong
“My home will sell itself” is no longer a strategy

What is actually working in Q1 2026

✔ Pricing based on current pendings not outdated comps
✔ Strong presentation combined with high quality media staging and intentional marketing
✔ Planning for a longer timeline to secure the right buyer

Equity is no longer climbing the way it was, it has stabilized

The sellers who adapt are the ones who protect their equity, the ones who do not end up chasing the market down ⬇️
