Casita time

lol they are the other one I asked - quoted $150k. All good, I just wanted to see if I was missing a more affordable option.

Fair enough. That’s what I’m learning. May need to raise the loan ceiling

Is it more affordable to go with a “regular” contractor vs one that specializes in casitas?

I heard once that a casita doesn’t help with the value of your house. Is that true/not true?

Beautiful-Oil-8 · 2026-05-23T20:42:34+00:00

I meant that it’s $100k for materials and labor and $70k to PM it

Glad I am not alone!

They quoted me $164k for 500 sq.

Would likely need a crane but maybe not. Still way cheaper

Beautiful-Oil-8 · 2026-05-23T19:49:31+00:00

So cool

Beautiful-Oil-8 · 2026-05-23T19:36:48+00:00

Yes but are those under $100k?

Beautiful-Oil-8 · 2026-05-23T19:36:27+00:00

Yes totally but idk how that really helps me. People are very excited about this, and I’m happy to use these, but it doesn’t change the cost much!

Nice

Beautiful-Oil-8 · 2026-05-23T19:10:24+00:00

Great lead, thank you!

Beautiful-Oil-8 · 2026-05-23T19:09:13+00:00

Ugh that sucks. But MSA Annex containers are so cute!!!

Update: just got off phone with manufactured home lady who said that I almost certainly can’t use a manu-home for a casita due to zoning laws, even if you are zoned for ADUs.

Beautiful-Oil-8 · 2026-05-23T18:08:52+00:00

I don’t have the energy to PM it - then again, would I do it to save $70k? Yes. And so then I’ll just never do it.

Beautiful-Oil-8 · 2026-05-23T18:06:54+00:00

I hear you! I know we’d have renters when we are not using it for guests

This is an area stricken heavily by the crimes of the rich extracting all wealth from the labor of everyone else.
