        "text": "The cost of a basement ADU conversion varies significantly based on factors like the existing condition of your basement, required structural modifications, waterproofing needs, and the level of finishes desired. A practical tradeoff is balancing higher upfront costs for extensive upgrades like new foundations or extensive plumbing rerouting against the long-term rental income potential and increased property value. Expect to invest in permitting and design as initial costs.",
