Last week we heard from a Denver-based realtor about her experience building an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU). In part 2 of our mini-series on ADUs, we’re hearing from an engineer in the Southern California area who also chose this unique method of house-hacking: Matthew Forrest.

Matthew received his B.S. Electrical Engineering from Lehigh University in 2014. Since graduating, Matt has been in a variety of roles for the downstream businesses of oil & gas companies in Southern California. In 2016 Matt was introduced to a podcast that sparked an interest in real estate that has grown to a passion for working with ADU development and multifamily syndication.

Matthew and I are chatting all about his experience building an ADU and what the obstacles and triumphs have been throughout the process. He shares how he heard about ADUs, why it can be so hard to find information about them, and what he learned in the planning and building process.
