An accessory dwelling unit (ADU) can potentially provide a source of income in a number of ways. Some common ways in which an ADU can generate income include:

1. Renting it out: If you have an ADU on your property, you can choose to rent it out to tenants. This can provide a steady stream of income, depending on the location and condition of the ADU and the local rental market.
2. Renting it to short-term guests: If you live in a popular vacation destination or have a lot of visitors, you may be able to generate income by renting out the ADU on a short-term basis, such as through a vacation rental platform like Airbnb.
3. Using it as a home office: If you work from home or run a small business, you may be able to use the ADU as a dedicated workspace. This can provide a quiet and professional environment to work, and may be more appealing to potential clients or customers than meeting in a residential home.
4. Using it as a guest suite: If you have a lot of guests or family members who visit frequently, you may be able to use the ADU as a comfortable and private guest suite. This can help to generate income by providing a place for guests to stay, and can also save on the cost of paying for a hotel room.

It's worth noting that the potential for generating income from an ADU will depend on a variety of factors, such as the location and condition of the ADU, local market conditions, and the demand for rental properties or short-term accommodations. It may be helpful to research the local market and consider your specific goals and needs before deciding on the best use for an ADU.
