Can one home help you live for less and build wealth?
In this episode of The House of Ravenscroft, host Eric Ravenscroft—real estate strategist and financial planning expert—dives into one of the most overlooked paths to long-term wealth: buying a property with income-producing units, living in one, and renting out the rest.

This isn’t just house hacking. It’s cash-flow-first homeownership—and it works in Phoenix, Austin, Nashville, Denver, and dozens of other cities with growing job hubs, tourism, and updated ADU laws.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

🏡 The Multi-Unit Breakdown
Hear how one Phoenix homeowner used a guest house and detached office to cut their $5,000 mortgage down to just $1,700/month—without sacrificing lifestyle or location.

📍 Where This Strategy Works Best
From Downtown Phoenix to Boise, Salt Lake City, and San Diego—discover the key ingredients that make this model thrive in both big and small markets.

📊 Why Net Cost Beats List Price
Yes, the upfront cost may be higher—but Eric explains how rental income dramatically changes the math and creates long-term financial upside.

🔁 Flexible Rental Strategies
Short-term guests. Mid-term travel nurses. Long-term tenants. This strategy adapts to your market and your lifestyle.

🏥 Ideal for High-Demand Zones
Learn why homes near hospitals, universities, and remote work hubs create consistent demand—and how to find these hotspots.

🧠 Live-In Leverage Explained
Turn your home into a business, reduce financial risk, and build equity faster—while staying nimble and protected from market swings.

📈 Pros, Cons, and Real-World Scenarios
Eric lays out the advantages (like tax benefits and exit flexibility) and the tradeoffs (shared space, changing STR rules) so you can make an informed move.
