What kind of returns do ADUs generate in Orange County?

Typical OC ADU rents run $2,500–$4,500/mo depending on size and submarket (Newport Beach and Irvine top the range; inland cities cluster $2,500–$3,200). Build costs of $200K–$400K yield gross cap-rates of 7–11% before financing.

Do you build for spec or investor portfolios, not just owner-occupants?

Yes. Avorino delivers build-to-rent ADUs, spec custom homes, SB-9 lot-split work, and 2–4-unit residential for investors. We're set up to bid, schedule, and warranty for investor expectations: line-item budgets, cap-rate math, milestone draws.

Can you handle an SB-9 lot split plus dual-build?

Yes. Avorino runs SB-9 urban-lot-split applications through OC city planning departments, then builds the dual residences as a single coordinated schedule. We've executed this pattern in Anaheim, Costa Mesa, and Garden Grove.

How does Avorino price investor builds vs. owner-occupant builds?

Same fixed-price design-build model with cap-rate underwriting baked in. We start from the rent or sale comp, work back to a buildable budget, and bid to that. Investor proposals include yield-map worksheets and milestone draws aligned to lender requirements.
