Downey homeowners are sitting on some of the most strategically located lots in Los Angeles County. With RD-zoned corridors and strong SB-9 eligibility throughout the city, many properties in Downey can support a second unit, a lot split, or a complete redevelopment play — often without the long permit delays that hit other cities. Buildaview’s Income Lot Master Plan starts by understanding your specific parcel: lot dimensions, zoning classification, setbacks, and what the city will actually approve.
Our four-step process — a free Lot & Money Fit call, then two paid planning steps — evaluates all 7 plays for your Downey property — from changing your existing home and adding new units, to dividing and selling or building — using conservative, planning-grade cost, income, and equity ranges, then identifies the 1–2 best plays. Step 2 (On-Site Options Visit, $995) is a site visit plus architect lot plan and 7-play analysis. Step 3 (City Check & Layout Pack, $2,000) adds valuation tools, city checks, and your Heirs & Advisors Summary Pack. If you choose to build with us and sign our pre-construction design-build agreement for your chosen plan, the full $2,995 you paid for planning is credited into your project.
Based in Downey, Buildaview has direct permit experience with the City of Downey Building and Safety Division and understands local zoning nuances that generic consultants miss. Whether you own a home on Firestone Boulevard, a corner lot near Paramount Boulevard, or a larger parcel in a quieter residential neighborhood, we can show you what your plays are worth — with numbers, not guesses.
No commitment. Free Lot & Money Fit call first — paid steps start at $995 if you choose to proceed.
