A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) or 2nd lien loan is one of the most efficient and popular ways to finance an ADU. These solutions allow you to access your existing home equity without disturbing your current low-interest primary mortgage. This is especially valuable for California homeowners who secured historically low interest rates.
A HELOC or 2nd lien loan is secured against your home’s equity as a second loan, separate from your primary mortgage. This allows you to unlock capital specifically for ADU construction.
