Why now

Arizona just made the backyard rentable.

Recent state law opened the door for accessory dwelling units on most single-family lots — with fewer hoops than ever before.

01

No hearing, no variance

On qualifying lots, an ADU is allowed by right — no public hearing or zoning variance to fight for.

02

Rent it, long-term

Use it as a long-term rental for real monthly income, a guest house, or a place for family.

03

Up to two per lot

Many lots can add more than one unit, subject to size and setback limits in your city.

04

Reduced setbacks

Smaller required setbacks mean more usable backyards actually pencil out for a build.

Governed by Arizona state law (HB 2720 / HB 2928) and individual city ordinances. Rules vary by parcel — your free report checks the specifics for your address.

The math

A second rent check on a lot you already own.

You already own the land — the most expensive part of any build. An ADU turns unused backyard into monthly income or a place for family.

HELOC or cash-out refinance. Tap your existing equity to fund the build with no separate construction loan.
Fast, equity-free options. We can point you to lenders who specialize in ADU financing.

Good questions

The straight answers.

What does it cost?
Most of our turnkey ADUs land between $99,000 and $149,000, depending on the model, finishes, and site conditions. Because it's one contract covering design, permits, and construction, you get a clear number up front instead of a stack of separate bills.
Will my property qualify?
Thanks to recent Arizona law, most single-family lots in the metro now qualify — but size limits and setbacks vary by city and parcel. The fastest way to know is our free property check above: enter your address and we'll email a feasibility report with the specifics for your lot.
How long does it take?
Timelines depend on your city's permit queue and the model you choose. Because we start from pre-designed, permit-ready plans, you skip months of custom design. We'll give you a realistic schedule for your jurisdiction during your consult.
Can I rent it out?
Yes — on qualifying lots, Arizona law allows ADUs to be used as long-term rentals. That's what makes them such a strong income play: a second rent check on land you already own.
Can I do this from out of state?
Absolutely. Many of our clients are investors who never set foot on site. We handle design, permits, and construction locally and keep you updated remotely — a true done-for-you build.
How is it financed?
Most owners use a HELOC or cash-out refinance to tap existing equity, avoiding a separate construction loan. We can also point you to lenders who specialize in fast, ADU-friendly financing.
