Design by Becca Ayon

Becca has a long, successful career making other people's homes look absolutely beautiful. She's now decided to apply those skills to her own backyard, designing a stunning 370 sq. ft ADU.

There are a variety of reasons that homeowners build ADUs on their property: investment is one of them. This is the primary reason that Becca and Anthony Ayon of Portland, Oregon decided to build their ADU.

At Maxable, we believe one of the best ways for interested homeowners to learn about the process of building ADUs is to learn from other homeowners just like them! Here is Becca and Anthony’s story about converting their garage into an ADU of their dreams.

The Beginnings: Deciding to Invest in an ADU
Becca and Anthony bought the main house knowing that it was a fixer-upper, but they were ready for the challenge. Becca is a commercial interior designer and has designed office spaces that have ranged from 5,000 to 100,000 square feet. Their main house was her first residential design project.

We moved to Portland partially because we were excited about the progressive zoning laws allowing ADUs and tiny houses. We had been considering downsizing into a small home for a few years, and love the simplicity and financial freedom it could bring, so our plan is to move into the ADU and rent the main house for passive income.

A Maxable Note to Readers: California passed a statewide law allowing for ADUs on lots zoned for single-family dwellings. However, the laws do vary from Portland’s laws. Check out our ADU Regulations Portal to learn about specifics for your city!

Becca and Anthony’s goal is to be able to pay off their property over the next 15 years. This will allow them to be mortgage-free and have the ability to scale back on their full-time jobs.

It would have been nearly impossible to realize this goal if we were unable to build an ADU and move into it. Most of what we make on rental income will go towards paying the mortgage with the goal in mind of minimizing the amount we pay out-of-pocket to achieve our 15-year goal.
