San Diego has a big need for housing, and ADUs are becoming a smart way to create more doors, more rent, and more value. In today’s episode, Ginny Bolling talks with Nicholas Novak about how he uses San Diego’s Bonus ADU Program to turn single-family homes and small properties into larger multifamily-style projects.

Nick shares how he went from working as a prison guard to building a real estate career through development, partnerships, and faith. He explains why location matters, why Pacific Beach is such a strong rental market, and how larger units can bring in strong rents near the beach. He also talks about construction costs, build-to-sell strategies, refinancing, capital partners, and the future of condo-style ADUs in California.

This episode is a clear look at how ADU development can help investors build equity while also creating needed housing. Nick’s message is simple: real estate development may look big and scary, but with the right people, the right deal, and the will to learn, it is possible to get started.
