Anchored Tiny Homes Sacramento financing options.
Anchored Tiny Homes Sacramento offers a variety of franchising options.

Financing Options

There are more options than you may think!

As you get closer to deciding whether or not you would like to build an ADU on your property, one of the biggest questions that many homeowners have is “can I finance this? And if so, what are the options?” This is exactly where we can help!

Here are each of the main options available to you, but if you would like to quickly see what would be the best fit for you and get an idea of payments and terms, reach out today and our financing team can walk you through options.

Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)

In the current economic climate, a Home Equity Line Of Credit (HELOC) is the most common financing option that our current customers are using. This is a line of credit taken out based on the equity you have and broken into two pay periods, a draw period, and a payback period, and you are only charged interest on the amount of the loan that you use which you can draw from to pay for your project during a specific period, typically around 10 years.

The payments on this type of loan still come in far lower than what you can often rent it out for or the cost of housing an aging parent in an apartment or assisted living facility making this an incredibly affordable option!

The Anchored ADU Bridge Loan

We’ve developed a loan specifically for those that just don’t quite have enough equity in their home without the new value of the ADU being put on.

With this option, you can have the money for your ADU lent to you upfront and once the unit is built you then pay off this loan using either a cash-out refinance or HELOC based on the NEW value of your property! And to make it even better, once you get the loan rates are locked in so it won’t change on you and there are no payments during the duration of the loan!

Cash-Out Refinance

A cash-out refinance is very similar to a HELOC in that it is based on your current equity, but rather than being secondary to your mortgage, a cash-out refinancing replaces your current mortgage and you can use the difference that goes to you in cash as a way to pay for your ADU.

This is a great option if you have a lot of equity in your home and if your current interest rate is similar to or higher than the current going rate!

Renovation or Construction Loan

Unlike loans based on existing equity, a renovation/construction loan does not use your home as collateral so if you are wanting to avoid that or don’t have much equity then this may be a great option.

However, this does often have more strict credit and income requirements as well as a higher interest rate typically, making the monthly payment often higher than with other options.

Alternative Options

Beyond these traditional loans there are still a few other options that you can look into, including:

  • A personal loan or line of credit
  • Use of retirement accounts or personal investment
  • Sale of another home or property
  • Borrowing from family and friends
  • Private money loans
  • And more

Ultimately there are most likely many more options than you would realize as well as dozens of different lenders with different terms to help you get approved for the payments that work best for you and your goals!

What Our Customers Say About Us

  • Sunny Lombardi
    I am kicking off an ADU build with ATH any day now…well down the path and will add to this initial review later. I did want to share what my experience has been to date with ATH. I was super fortunate to meet Lawrence Kao of ATH first. As a sales professional myself I can’t help but not only think about the product but also the salesperson style. Lawrence has been an easily accessible and responsive pro. He has been able to answer any question I have had with ease and has instilled the kind of trust that causes one to feel great to work with the business and person representing it. Can’t wait for next steps and am stoked the project kicked off with Mr. Kao!
  • Brian Negri
    Lawrence Kao has been a colleague and mentor of mine. He is the consummate professional and a true expert in the ADU world. When considering an ADU, you want a good partner and that's what Lawrence brings to your project.
  • Alicia Smith
    Lawrence has been an incredible resource in assisting us in strategies in developing on our properties. His wealth of knowledge on ADUs specifically on the investment side is incredible. We look forward to partnering with Anchored Tiny Homes on our further investment endeavors.
  • Dina Mahshi
    I recently had the pleasure of working with Anchored Tiny Homes in Sacramento to build a one-bedroom unit for my mother, and I must say the experience was exceptional. One of the standout aspects of my interaction with Anchored was the transparency and clarity regarding project costs. The agreed-upon project cost and payment schedule were adhered to without any deviation. It was a relief to have no hidden fees or unexpected additional costs, which can often be a concern in construction projects. The coordination with the city for permits and inspections was another commendable aspect. Anchored Tiny Homes demonstrated efficiency in navigating the bureaucratic process, ensuring that permits were obtained, and inspections were carried out promptly. This streamlined approach made the overall process simple and hassle-free. I cannot speak highly enough about our project manager, Martin. His professionalism, kindness, and honesty made the entire experience enjoyable. What stood out the most was Martin's proactive approach to problem-solving. Rather than just presenting issues, he always came prepared with viable solutions, making decision-making easy and efficient. Although the project timeline extended slightly beyond the initially promised timeframe due to a delay in building materials, the crew's efficiency was evident once they broke ground. Despite this minor delay, we successfully moved my mother into her new home on Mother's Day, creating a memorable and special moment for our family. Moreover, the after-sales service from Anchored Tiny Homes has been outstanding. Any concerns or issues with the unit are promptly addressed without pushback, demonstrating their commitment to customer satisfaction. Anchored Tiny Homes commitment to transparency, efficient project management, and excellent customer service, especially through Martin, made the process smooth and resulted in a beautiful and beloved home for my mother. I highly recommend Anchored Tiny Homes for anyone considering a tiny home construction project. Call Martin today for a free estimate and tell him I sent you to get $2500 off your project price.

    "Working with Roman Sandoval was an absolute game-changer for our construction project. He stepped in at a critical moment, taking over from previous contractors who had failed to deliver. His approach was nothing short of exceptional. Roman not only completed the tasks at hand but went above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction. His dedication to doing the job right was evident in every aspect of his work. Without his timely intervention, our dream home would still be an incomplete project. We are immensely grateful for Roman's extraordinary efforts and unwavering support. He is, without doubt, the best contractor we have ever worked with. Thank you, Roman Sandoval! Here’s 5 stars that are well deserved! 🙏🏼
  • Mary Ann Ballesteros
    I had an idea of what I wanted for my 3 bedroom ADU to replace my mini basketball court in my backyard ... Colton and Anchored Tiny Homes took my vision: ATH, the designers, Roman Sandoval and APC made it all happen... they made my vision come to life! Along the way in the building of my ADU, there were road bumps, permit delays, the stormy weather, construction delays to name a few.... but this is where I would be so proud to say ... "T'was late but worth the wait!!!"!!! My ADU looks absolutely beautiful and amazing! The quality of work, the workmanship is truly exceptional! Shout out to Dee (ATH miracle staff), Roman (ATH project manager) and Armando (Absolute Precision) for making this project smooth sailing.... I was completely amazed by the way ATH handled my issues with transparency and a positive approach towards making things right. . . And yes, ATH made it happen! Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️!!!

    Great website
  • M W
    Anchored Tiny Homes just completed a wonderful backyard home office for us. We love our office and had a great experience with Anchored and their subs. They came in with a very fair price and worked with us throughout the process to make sure we got what we wanted and needed out of the design and final product. We have already recommended them to multiple friends and neighbors. Thank you Jordan especially!
  • lisa renken
    I had Anchored Tiny Homes build an ADU in my backyard in Lincoln Ca for my folks. Colton was always professional, positive and worked with integrity. Anchored worked through a few issues with promptness and understanding! My folks, and I, couldn't be happier, it's perfect!
  • Rochelle Garcia
    My Project Manager Jordan and Contractor Raymond were really good. They identified potential issues that I hadn’t thought through. They even sought out the best sub contractors who were friendly efficient and reliable. I was really pleased about the final finished product . The house is beautiful Raymond and Jordan were god sent .
  • Josh Varcoe
    They are an absolutely fantastic company, that truly specializes in their work and takes amazing care of their customers.
  • Maria Lourdes
    Darrell, a new addition to Anchored Tiny Homes Team, is the Construction Project Manager on my ADU project in El Cerrito (Spanish for the "the hill"). He is the point of contact - and I am so pleased! I have generally 24/7 access - he picks up the phone if he is available and when I leave him a message, he responds within 24 hours. From the initial site walk-thru to the many conversations back and forth to my recent nightmare with the architectural design, I give 5 stars to Darrell and Ali (Romgerd Construction) for professional customer service. Both are upfront in telling me what is wrong and advising me as to how to make it right. What I am going through right now with the flawed architectural design is a nightmare, I am comforted with knowing that Darrell and Ali is on my side. Absolutely yes- DARRELL works for his client and that's ME!
  • Suresh Daniel
    ATH is a great and professional company , you can trust and build a new home or ADU. Nick Milsap is a wonderful salesperson and and he keeps his word and follows through on every commitment he makes. Their project manager, Patrick Sayed is a capable person to get the project done with right resources and highest quality. You can’t go wrong with ATH
  • B
    Couldn’t have better things to say about Anchored tiny homes and their team. They were always on time, knowledgeable and delivered our dream ADU beyond our expectations! They made the process easy and affordable. Their quality and customization are really incredible and we couldn’t say better things about the Anchored Team. We would recommend them to any and everyone!
  • Larry Lamota
    About finished up with my ADU Anchored is building for my grandmother, their designer made everything ADA accessible which I didn't even know would be possible in a tiny home, but it turned out perfect! This ADU and anchored is a perfect solution if you need elderly ADA-accessible housing on your property.
  • ileana pavel
    Build an ADU with Anchored Tiny Homes in Sacramento it came out amazing. Having a turn-key contractor it's really the best way to go especially if you are doing this for an investment property. Nice just to pay someone to build it and collect your rent money. Very happy.
  • Kevin Craig
    Amazing team and an amazing product! If you are looking for custom ADUs, this is the one.
  • Phil Guertin
    Colton Paulhus and his team are amazing builders!
  • George Warren
    Anchored built two ADUs behind my existing duplex in Midtown Sacramento and we just had our final inspection this week. Although there were some challenges along the way and the project took much longer than expected, I couldn't be happier with the end result. Note to future customers: The state of California and many local governments (Sacramento included) talk a good game about streamlining the process of building an ADU– but that message hasn't necessarily reached the people in the building department. Our project was delayed for TWO MONTHS because of an error by a city plan checker. They admitted they screwed up, but still charged me $640 to amend the permit– including a couple hundred dollars for an "expedited review." Don't blame your builder!

    So far, so good. From all my research, this company is reputable. I stopped by their office on Hazel Ave without an appointment & did not see or feel like anything was "off." I was comfortable in placing my initial deposit. I received a very good recommendation from one of their previous customers that I happened to meet in a social situation. The consultation service has been excellent . Everything has been explained, so I understand the process . The company is the general contractor from start to turn key ready. I'm getting ready to start the ball rolling!
