How The Underwriter Works.

Yield on cost is stabilized net operating income divided by total development cost. The Underwriter computes it on an all-in basis: unit price, site preparation, and construction-period carry and interest, not hard costs alone, so the number holds up in a real investment committee.

Time-adjusted yield on cost is Abodu's signature metric. Because a factory-built unit reaches first rent months sooner than site-built construction, the tool credits the speed premium (income acceleration plus carry and construction interest saved) against your basis and restates the yield. The full arithmetic is disclosed in the tool, and every IRR shown, unlevered or levered, runs through one monthly discounted cash flow model.

Built for SB 1211. Since January 2025, California law allows up to eight detached ADUs on a multifamily lot, capped at the number of existing units. The Underwriter models programs from 2 to 500 units with commitment tiers, permanent financing, DSCR, breakeven occupancy, and payback. When you are ready to go deeper, the full multifamily program page covers product, process, and delivery.

Your Properties Are Underbuilt. Abodu Fixes That.

Every multifamily parcel in California with unused setback space is a capital deployment opportunity that didn't exist before January 2025. SB 1211 removed the regulatory barriers, and Abodu removes the execution risk. A program lead responds within one business day with a property-specific feasibility assessment and indicative pricing. No cost, no obligation.
