A real fixer has solid bones.
A money pit hides risk and cost.
And a full gut? That’s a full rebuild not a fixer.

This Happens All the Time
You see a new build go up and think:
"If they can do it, so can I."
Then your project gets delayed, flagged, or rejected halfway through.
It happens constantly.

Looks the Same ≠ Is the Same
Two homes. Same zoning. Same street.
But one lot might allow 4,000 sq ft — and the other only 2,400.
Or one gets flagged for fire lane clearance.
The difference is often invisible.

Common Blockers
Your lot might have hidden restrictions:
🧱 Historic overlays
📏 Special setbacks
🏞️ Slope rules
🚒 Fire access limits
🚧 Easements you can’t see on a basic map
These are deal breakers — and most people never check.

It’s Not Just Zoning
Zoning is only the starting point.
What actually controls what you can build?
✅ Overlays
✅ Setbacks
✅ Easements
✅ Parcel history
It's what’s under the surface that matters.

My neighbor built a 2-story duplex, why can’t I?

But you tried and hit a wall.
Same block. Same zoning.
Totally different outcome.

Thinking about building an ADU in California?
Yes, the 2025 laws made it easier.
But “easier” doesn’t mean easy.
Before you build, here’s what can still block you:
🟠 Zoning rules
🟠 Permitting delays
🟠 Utility approvals
🟠 Site conditions
