The Only Investment You Need to Build Your Real Estate Business


The hardest part of real estate isn't the money. It's doing it alone, without the reputation, support, and track record that a strong team already provides.

 

Most agents assume it takes serious money to build a real estate business of their own. It doesn't. The investment that actually matters is your time and your effort, and after 15 years building my business in Northern Arizona, I'm convinced that's the part most people get wrong. 

Yes, there are some upfront costs to becoming a Realtor, but every business asks you to put something in to get something out. The real question is how much you have to invest, and whether you're carrying all of it alone.

I started here knowing no one. When I got into real estate in Arizona, I had just moved from another state and didn't know a single person. I put some money into the business, but honestly, very little. What I really invested was effort, ingenuity, and a willingness to do the unglamorous work most people avoid. That combination is what let me grow, and it's still the only ceiling that matters: you can go as far as you're willing to work.

"The only investment you really need to make in this business is your time and effort."

You get to build on what I've already built. Fifteen years in, the agents who join me don't have to start from zero. They get to build on the reputation and the track record I've already established, so my successes become theirs. I'm genuinely happy when one of my agents wins a listing by saying, "Look what we did," even when it was my work behind it. If that's what helps them land the business, I want them to use it. Sharing what I've built is one of my favorite parts of this job, because there's no good reason for a capable agent to reinvent a foundation that already exists.

The honest truth is that this business is hard to do alone. If someone had offered me everything I now give my agents, I would have said yes without hesitating. The first reason is that real estate can be isolating, and the second is that it gets genuinely difficult without the right support behind you. Having people in your corner changes the entire experience.

When I step back and think about what it really takes to build something lasting in this business, it comes down to those two ingredients working together: your effort, and a foundation that already knows how to win. You bring the work ethic. I bring 15 years of reputation, systems, and support for you to build on.

If you've been wondering whether there's a better, less lonely way to grow your real estate business, let's talk. Call or text me at (928) 606-6749, email me at Kelly.Broaddus@exprealty.com, or visit kellybroaddus.exprealty.com. I'd love to share what I've built and show you how it could become your foundation, too.

House Hacking in 2026: What the Hype Got Wrong — and What Actually Works


Buyer Education · Northern Arizona

House Hacking in Flagstaff: Is It the Right Move for You in 2026?

The "live for free" version is clickbait. The real strategy — using a property to help carry its own cost — is very much alive in Northern Arizona. Here's how to tell whether it fits you, your market, and your numbers.

Broaddus Partners Group · Northern Arizona Fine Homes

If you've spent any time on real estate social media in the last few years, you've seen the house hacking pitch: buy a property, rent part of it out, let your tenants cover the mortgage, and live for free while you build wealth in your sleep.

It sounds like the kind of thing that works great in a thumbnail and falls apart in real life. And honestly? Sometimes it does. But here's what those videos get right even when they oversell the ending: housing costs have outpaced wage growth by a wide margin, and for the right buyer, generating income from a property can make ownership viable when it otherwise wouldn't be. The strategy is real. The "living for free" part is just the clickbait version of it.

In a market like Flagstaff — where mountain-town demand, a major university, and limited inventory keep prices well above what local wages comfortably support — the smarter question in 2026 isn't whether house hacking works. It's whether it's the right fit for you. Here's what that actually looks like.

What House Hacking Actually Means

House hacking is simple in concept: buy a primary residence and generate income from it to help offset the cost of owning it. The definition is that clean. The execution has a lot of range.

The term drew a wave of breathless attention a few years ago, usually paired with promises of "living for free" or "having your tenants pay your mortgage." That framing wasn't entirely wrong, but it oversimplified things in ways that set some buyers up for disappointment. The more useful way to think about it in 2026 isn't about eliminating a housing payment — it's about engineering a more manageable one.

Say a Flagstaff home carries a $4,200 monthly mortgage, and a casita on the lot rents for $1,700. That leaves a $2,500 net payment — a number that can pencil out where $4,200 simply couldn't.

That's the real value. Not a free house, but a door that was otherwise closed, now open.

The Most Common Ways Buyers Are Doing It

The ADU Boom

Accessory Dwelling Units — ADUs, casitas, in-law suites, backyard cottages — have become the gold standard of modern house hacking. An ADU is a secondary living unit on the same lot as a primary home: a detached structure in the backyard, a converted garage, or a basement with its own entrance.

ADUs have taken off for a straightforward reason: they're increasingly legal in places where they weren't before, and both the financing and the rental markets now support them. In Arizona, that shift is concrete. House Bill 2720 — the state's "casita bill," signed in 2024 — requires every city with a population over 75,000 to allow at least one attached and one detached ADU on single-family lots, by right. Flagstaff is one of the 16 Arizona cities that fall under it, which means the legal pathway to add a casita here is more open than it has been in years.

The financing caught up, too

Fannie Mae rolled out a significant policy update through its Desktop Underwriter system in late March 2026, allowing buyers to count projected ADU rental income toward their qualifying income on a purchase. The income is capped at 30% of the borrower's total qualifying income, applies to one-unit owner-occupied principal residences, and can come from a single ADU. It's a meaningful change: a buyer eyeing a home with a casita can now leverage that unit's income potential before they ever sign a lease.

Multi-Generational Living

House hacking isn't always about renting to strangers. For a growing share of buyers, it means sharing a home — and its costs — with family.

Multi-generational buying is now a sizable slice of the market: 14% of all home purchases nationally over the past year were multi-generational. Gen X buyers led the way at 19%, and it's not hard to see why. That generation is often supporting aging parents and adult children at the same time, and a home built to hold several adults under one roof can solve caretaking, privacy, and cost all at once. Among multi-generational buyers, 41% pointed to caring for or supporting aging parents as the primary reason — the highest share since tracking began in 2015 — and another 23% simply wanted more time with their parents. In a place like Northern Arizona, where many families are putting down roots near the outdoors and the university, that pattern shows up often.

The Classic Multi-Family

Buying a duplex, triplex, or small multi-family property, living in one unit, and renting the others is the original form of house hacking — and it still works. FHA loans let buyers purchase up to four units with as little as 3.5% down, as long as they occupy one unit as a primary residence. Eligible veterans can go further with a VA loan, which requires no down payment on qualifying multi-unit properties. And for buyers who fit neither box, Freddie Mac's Home Possible program allows qualified buyers to put down as little as 3%.

The financing for owner-occupied multi-family is more accessible than most buyers realize. For those willing to share a property line with their tenants, the income potential typically runs higher than an ADU, and the strategy is time-tested.

The Real Math

Here's the truth about house hacking in 2026: the "living for free" narrative was never universally achievable, and it's even rarer now. Rates have stabilized but remain elevated compared to the pandemic-era floor. Prices, while no longer climbing at a frenetic pace, are not meaningfully lower in most markets — and Flagstaff is no exception. Cash-flowing a property from day one, where rental income covers the entire mortgage, requires either very favorable conditions or a large down payment.

That's not a reason to dismiss the strategy. It's a reason to recalibrate. The goal isn't to erase a housing payment — it's to bring it down to something sustainable. A well-chosen house hack often turns an unaffordable property into a manageable one, and that's a significant win. Buyers who run realistic numbers — factoring in vacancy and maintenance — tend to do well. Buyers who chase optimistic projections tend to struggle.

Lenders have adjusted as well. The new Fannie Mae ADU guidelines come with documentation requirements and that 30% cap on countable income. That's a reasonable safeguard, not a barrier — it filters out the wishful math and keeps qualifying grounded in real market data.

Who This Works Best For

First-time buyers facing an affordability gap

If income doesn't support the mortgage on a home that checks the boxes, a property with rental potential can bridge that gap — both by lowering the net monthly payment and, with an ADU-eligible property, by improving what a lender will approve in the first place.

The sandwich generation

Gen X buyers, often supporting aging parents while still housing adult children, have more reason than any group to maximize what a home does for them. A property built for multi-generational living is a practical answer to a real caregiving reality. NAR research notes that households with three or more income earners are increasingly common among these buyers, which strengthens the financial case further.

Future investors learning the ropes

Living in a property while managing a rental unit is one of the lowest-risk ways to learn real estate investing. A buyer who spends two or three years in a house hack and then moves on can keep the first property as a full-time rental — with tenant-management experience already in hand.

What to Know Before Getting Started

  • Zoning and local rules are non-negotiable. ADU legality, short-term-rental rules, and multi-family zoning vary block to block. In Flagstaff specifically, ADUs come with their own layer: occupancy is capped at two people per unit, attached or interior units must share most utility connections with the main home, and using an ADU as a short-term rental requires the owner to live on the property. What's allowed three streets over may not be allowed on the home you're considering — and unpermitted units create liabilities that outlast any savings. Doing it by the book from the start is the only approach that holds up.
  • Run conservative numbers. Plan for vacancies. Budget for maintenance. Use realistic rents from comparable Flagstaff properties, not best-case scenarios. If the math still works after a month or two of vacancy a year plus routine repairs, it's a solid plan. If it only works at 100% occupancy with top-of-market rent, it's a risk.
  • Be honest about lifestyle fit. Sharing a property — whether with ADU tenants or family in a multi-generational setup — comes with real tradeoffs. It takes a certain temperament and a willingness to have the occasional uncomfortable conversation. Buyers who set clear boundaries and realistic expectations tend to thrive; those who underestimate the interpersonal side often don't.

The Northern Arizona angle

Flagstaff carries a few features that make house hacking worth a serious look here. Steady rental demand from Northern Arizona University and a year-round visitor economy keeps quality units occupied. A persistent gap between local wages and home prices is exactly the kind of pressure this strategy is built to relieve. And Arizona's recent ADU law has opened a clearer path to adding income-producing space than buyers had even a couple of years ago. The right move still depends on the specific property, parcel, and neighborhood — which is precisely why it's worth talking through before you start shopping.

The Bottom Line

House hacking is no longer a fringe idea for investors. It's a mainstream strategy that serious buyers are using to navigate a market that doesn't hand out easy answers. The fundamentals of ownership — building equity, gaining stability, creating long-term wealth — still hold. House hacking simply acknowledges that the path there sometimes takes a little creativity with how a property is used.

Every neighborhood in Northern Arizona is different. Zoning, rental demand, and property potential vary widely, and the right house hack for one buyer can look nothing like the right one for another. If you're wondering whether you're a fit for this strategy, that's exactly the conversation worth having.

Let's run your actual numbers

Tell us your budget and goals, and we'll dig into what house hacking could realistically look like for your market and your math here in Flagstaff and across Northern Arizona.

Not all homes are meant to be found—some are discovered.

Tucked deep within the towering red rock walls of Sedona’s most coveted canyon, this rare Oak Creek Canyon retreat offers something few properties ever can: true privacy, natural beauty, and a connection to the land that feels almost timeless.

Your Private Creekfront Experience

Imagine starting your morning with coffee on the deck as Oak Creek gently flows below, or ending your day soaking in the spa beneath Sedona’s iconic dark skies.

This is more than scenery—it’s an immersive lifestyle experience:

 

  • Direct access to Oak Creek
  • Peaceful, meditative surroundings
  • Ideal for second home, retreat, or full-time sanctuary

 

The Sedona Lifestyle, Elevated

From nearby hiking trails to local vineyards and art culture, this home places you at the intersection of nature, luxury, and lifestyle.

 

Whether you're entertaining guests or enjoying quiet solitude, every moment here feels intentional.

 

What This Means for Buyers 

If you're considering buying in Sedona, properties like this represent a unique investment opportunity:

  • ✔ Creekfront homes are extremely limited in supply
  • ✔ Oak Creek Canyon is one of Sedona’s most desirable locations
  • ✔ Strong long-term value due to scarcity and demand
  • ✔ Ideal for lifestyle buyers seeking privacy + nature

 

👉 Bottom line: This is not just a purchase—it’s a legacy property.

Why Oak Creek Canyon is One of Sedona’s Most Coveted Locations

Oak Creek Canyon is known for its dramatic red rock cliffs, lush greenery, and year-round flowing water—something incredibly rare in Arizona.

 

This unique microclimate creates a cooler, more serene environment compared to other parts of Sedona, making it highly sought-after for luxury and retreat-style living.

About Oak Creek Canyon

Oak Creek Canyon is a narrow and very colorful gorge located in northern Arizona between the cities of Flagstaff and Sedona. The canyon is often described as a smaller cousin of the Grand Canyon because of its scenic beauty. 

Oak Creek Canyon is located within the Coconino National Forest. The United States Forest Service operates several campgrounds, picnic areas, and recreation areas within the canyon. Slide Rock State Park, home to a natural water slide along Oak Creek, is also located within Oak Creek Canyon. Other recreational activities include swimming and fishing in Oak Creek. Hiking the many trails leading into side canyons or up to the rim of the canyon is a popular activity for the area. The amenities of Uptown Sedona are less than 5 miles from the heart of Oak Creek Canyon. Homes in Oak Creek Canyon are highly coveted for their shady lots and Creekside access.

PRICE IMPROVEMENT! Northern Arizona Homestead for Sale Near Williams, AZ | 11-Acre Private Retreat with Greenhouse & Generator


4 BD | 2 BA | $ 639,999 629,999 Price cut: $10K (7/13)

 

If you've been searching for peace, privacy, and the freedom to live a more self-sufficient lifestyle, this extraordinary Northern Arizona homestead may be exactly what you've been waiting for. Tucked away in the quiet high country outside of Williams, this one-of-a-kind 11-acre property offers the rare opportunity to own a secluded mountain retreat surrounded by forest, wide-open skies, and the calming beauty of nature.

Completely fenced with an automatic gated entry, this private estate combines practicality, comfort, and country charm in a setting that feels worlds away from the noise and stress of everyday life. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, hobby ranch, off-grid-inspired retreat, or seasonal mountain escape, this property delivers a lifestyle that's becoming increasingly difficult to find in today’s market.

Experience True Northern Arizona Country Living

Set among the pines and open high-country landscape, this well-maintained 4-bedroom, 2-bath manufactured home offers room to spread out both inside and out. The spacious floor plan includes a welcoming living room and a separate family room, giving homeowners flexibility for entertaining, relaxing, or creating dedicated spaces for work, hobbies, or guests.

Natural light fills the kitchen, where custom cabinetry, quality appliances, and thoughtful features like a trash compactor create a space that is both functional and inviting. The appliances convey with the sale, helping make this property move-in ready from day one.

The primary suite was designed with comfort in mind and features a beautifully customized walk-in shower along with dual sinks for added convenience.

A Property Designed for Self-Sufficiency & Peace of Mind

What truly sets this property apart is the infrastructure already in place for sustainable country living. Outside, mature landscaping and a drip irrigation system help maintain the grounds efficiently, while the greenhouse provides year-round gardening opportunities for those seeking a more self-reliant lifestyle.

A massive 4,000-gallon cistern offers valuable supplemental water storage for irrigation and additional fire protection—an increasingly important feature for rural properties in Northern Arizona.

Adding even more peace of mind, the property includes a powerful 12k backup generator that automatically activates approximately 30 seconds after a power outage. Whether you're living here year-round or using the property as a mountain getaway, this level of preparedness provides security and comfort during every season.

Room for Vehicles, Equipment & Outdoor Adventure

This Williams-area property was built for functionality just as much as relaxation. The spacious 4-car garage provides ample storage for vehicles, recreational equipment, tools, or workshop space. In addition, the covered carport, RV parking, and two separate storage sheds offer incredible versatility for homeowners with outdoor hobbies, homesteading equipment, trailers, or guests traveling through Northern Arizona.

The fully fenced acreage creates flexibility for gardening, pets, hobby farming, or simply enjoying the privacy and open space that rural living provides.

A Setting Full of Character & Northern Arizona Charm

One of the most unique features of this property is the daily passing of the historic Grand Canyon Railway. The train travels by the home twice each day, adding a nostalgic and charming touch that enhances the property's mountain-town character.

Surrounded by trees and expansive views, the property offers the feeling of complete seclusion while still being accessible to the restaurants, shops, and amenities of nearby Williams—often referred to as the “Gateway to the Grand Canyon.”

Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the easy access to hiking, camping, fishing, off-roading, and endless opportunities to explore the beauty of Northern Arizona.

What This Means for Buyers

Properties like this are becoming increasingly desirable among buyers seeking privacy, sustainability, and usable acreage in Northern Arizona. With infrastructure already in place—including fencing, water storage, backup power, greenhouse space, RV parking, and multiple storage options—this property offers far more than just a home. It offers a lifestyle.

Buyers looking for:

  • Homestead properties in Northern Arizona
  • Private acreage near Williams, AZ
  • Mountain retreats with RV parking
  • Self-sufficient living opportunities
  • Homes with backup generators and water storage
  • Rural properties surrounded by forest

will immediately recognize the rarity and long-term value this property provides.

Why Buyers Love Williams, Arizona

Williams continues to attract buyers looking for cooler temperatures, mountain scenery, outdoor recreation, and a slower-paced lifestyle while remaining within driving distance of Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon National Park. The area's growing popularity has made private acreage properties especially sought-after among buyers relocating from larger metro areas in search of space, tranquility, and a stronger connection to nature.

An Enchanting Tudor Retreat on the Edge of the Forest

Peaceful, elegant, and full of character, this luxurious hand-crafted English Tudor — originally designed by its architect as a true Cotswold cottage on a manor scale — welcomes you with exquisite craftsmanship and architectural detailing at every turn. Nestled on 5.5 wooded acres backing directly to National Forest land and the Arizona Trail, this extraordinary Flagstaff estate offers a rare blend of privacy, outdoor adventure, and timeless Old-World charm — all just ten minutes from downtown Flagstaff and Arizona Snowbowl.

Recently expanded to over 5,100 square feet, the home features five bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths, including a newly added upstairs bedroom and a beautifully designed additional bath on the main level. During the expansion, the owners thoughtfully upgraded the home's key spaces: the gourmet chef's kitchen received stunning granite countertops, and the primary bath was completely transformed with a classic clawfoot soaking tub, elegant fixtures, and a luxurious standalone steam shower — creating a spa-quality private retreat.

Designed as the ultimate mountain and ski getaway, the home also includes an indoor dry sauna — perfect after long days on the slopes — and an outdoor hot tub set on expanded front and rear patios, each offering tranquil views of the surrounding pines. These spaces make the property ideal for year-round relaxation, entertaining, and enjoying Flagstaff's four-season lifestyle.

For the past several years, the estate has also operated successfully as a distinctive, high-end short-term rental. Its warm, whimsical storybook-and-wizardry-inspired dcor blends effortlessly with the home's authentic Tudor architecture and enchanting setting, creating an unforgettable guest experience and strong rental appeal.

Inside, the chef's kitchen showcases premium Viking appliances and generous workspace, while the grand living room impresses with exposed beam ceilings and dramatic architectural lines. An inviting sunroom offers year-round natural light and peaceful forest views. The main-level primary suite includes serene woodland vistas and direct access to a private library/office — a personal haven for reading, work, or quiet reflection. Additional flexible spaces include a first-floor bedroom/office and multiple bedrooms upstairs, offering versatile accommodations for guests, extended family, or multi-generational living.

Outdoors, enjoy front and back covered porches, the expansive patios, and frequent visits from local deer and elk. The three-stall Barnmaster barn with a tack room and secure corral blends everyday convenience with refined country elegance. Rich with handcrafted details, architectural pedigree, modern upgrades, and ski-retreat amenities, this remarkable estate is far more than a single description can capture. Prepare to be enchanted.

1336 Newport Ridge Dr Unit 113 Prescott, AZ 86303

Broaddus Properties Group | eXp Realty | PLACE  888.446.5602

 

Land for Sale in Prescott, AZ: .47-Acre Lot with Expansive Views — Build Your Custom Home

$ 89,000

 

If you've been dreaming of building a custom home in Prescott, this gently elevated .47-acre lot on Newport Ridge Drive gives you the room — and the views — to make it happen. Tucked into a quiet setting just minutes from downtown, it's the kind of blank canvas that's getting harder to find this close to everything Prescott has to offer.

At $89,000, it's an approachable entry point into one of Arizona's most beloved towns — with the freedom to build exactly what you've been picturing.

🏞️ A Lot with Room to Breathe

At nearly half an acre, this parcel offers genuine space and separation. The gently elevated terrain is a real builder's advantage: it sets up beautifully for a home positioned to capture the expansive surrounding views, with plenty of room left over for outdoor living — think covered patios, a fire pit, garden beds, or a future workshop.

[PHOTO: Wide shot showing the gentle elevation and the view corridor]

  • ✅ .47-acre lot — space, separation, and privacy
  • ✅ Gently elevated terrain, ideal for view-friendly building
  • ✅ Room for outdoor living and future expansion
  • ✅ A true blank canvas for your custom design

📍 Minutes from Everything Prescott

One of the best things about this lot is how connected it is while still feeling tucked away. You're just minutes from historic downtown Prescott, where small-town charm meets a lively mix of shops, restaurants, galleries, and year-round events.

And the outdoors? Practically in your backyard. With the Prescott National Forest, area lakes, and miles of trails nearby, plus Prescott's famously mild four-season climate, there's something to enjoy in every season.

[PHOTO: Nearby lifestyle shot — downtown Prescott, a trailhead, or a lake]

  • 🌲 Prescott National Forest — hiking, biking, and exploring close by
  • 🛍️ Downtown shops & dining just minutes away
  • 🚴 Year-round recreation with four genuine seasons
  • 🏞️ Lakes and trails within easy reach

🛠️ Build the Home You've Been Picturing

This is the part that makes a lot like this special: you're not buying someone else's vision — you're starting with your own. From the floor plan to the finishes to exactly where the home sits on the rise to frame those views, every decision is yours.

For buyers who've struggled to find an existing home that checks every box, a buildable lot is the answer — and at this price point, it's a smart, flexible way to put down roots in Prescott on your own terms.
