What if your best real estate insight came from the city planner's desk?   In this episode, I sit down with Jeffrey Kirton, an urbanist turned investor, to explore how city planning, zoning knowledge, and on-the-ground experience can shape smarter real estate decisions. Jeffrey shares his journey from civil engineering dreams and poker tables to working within Montreal's urban system—and how those lessons now fuel his investment strategy.   We break down how zoning can unlock hidden value, why permit timelines matter more than people think, and what to look for when evaluating neighborhood potential. Jeffrey also shares his experience building a Vermont cabin, adding ADUs, and buying undervalued properties with major upside—all by applying a planner's lens to every deal.   Tune in to learn how thinking like an urbanist can help you invest with more clarity, less risk, and stronger long-term returns.   —   Tired of spreadsheets and admin headaches in your rental business?   If you're a real estate investor looking to simplify operations and grow your portfolio, Kompas is your new best friend.

You may have noticed something peculiar lately in Seattle: Three properties on a single lot, two of them connected by a skybridge. It all has to do with ADUs, or accessory dwelling units, and how developers are trying to maximize the amount of living space on a single lot. We talk with freelance journalist Jane C. Hu, who's written about this trend of 3-pack developments for the New York Times. We can only make Seattle Now because listeners support us. Tap here to make a gift and keep Seattle Now in your feed.

On today's episode - In April, Merrimack County Savings Bank (The Merrimack) announced the expansion of its construction loan program to include Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU). An ADU is a small residence located within, attached to or detached from an existing primary residence. With a limited supply of affordable housing options in New Hampshire, ADUs meet the need for available housing and prevent further land development.Guest: Jaime FrederesSVP & Residential Lending Officer, The Merrimack

Chuck Todd examines Zohran Mamdani's stunning primary victory as a seismic shift for the Democratic Party, analyzing how the young progressive candidate's win represents a broader rejection of establishment politics and legacy candidates. The discussion explores the Democratic establishment's lukewarm response to Mamdani's victory, their history of imposing flawed candidates on voters, and the growing disconnect between party leaders and their base. The conversation delves into whether the Democratic Party is ripe for a progressive takeover, the uncomfortable alliance between progressives and wealthy Democrats, and how Mamdani's success could inspire primary challenges against older politicians like Chuck Schumer, while also touching on the challenges of governing New York City and the unpopularity of recent legislative packages that fail to energize the Democratic base.Then, Reid Wilson, founder and editor of Pluribus News joins Chuck for a comprehensive discussion that spans from sports stadium financing to the future of artificial intelligence regulation. The conversation begins with lighter topics like public funding for entertainment complexes and the Seattle Mariners' playoff prospects, but quickly dives into substantive policy discussions about AI regulation at both federal and state levels. Wilson provides insights into how different industries are responding to AI oversight, the infrastructure challenges posed by data centers, and why state-level politics often achieves more bipartisan cooperation than federal governance.The discussion shifts to examine critical domestic policy issues, particularly the ongoing privatization of public education through school voucher programs that Wilson argues are draining state budgets while transferring wealth from poor to rich families. They also analyze upcoming gubernatorial races across multiple states, exploring how local issues like housing policy, education reform, and infrastructure development could influence political outcomes in Virginia, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Alabama, and Tennessee. The episode concludes with speculation about whether abortion rights will remain a driving force in state legislative sessions, offering listeners a thorough examination of how local and state politics are shaping America's political landscape.Finally, Chuck answers listeners' questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment regarding politics in Louisiana, journalism, and bridging the gap between progressives and moderates!Timeline:(Timestamps may vary based on advertisements)00:00 Introduction00:30 Zohran Mamdani is a political earthquake for the Democratic party01:30 The Democratic party's lukewarm reaction to Mamdani's victory03:30 The Democratic establishment has imposed flawed candidates on their voters06:30 The establishment doesn't understand how unpopular their candidates are07:45 Voters never got due process for Cuomo08:30 Republicans are trying to weaponize Mamdani10:30 Democrats need to stop supporting legacy names/candidates12:00 If the wealthy are upset, Mamdani is winning13:00 Democrats want to embrace Mamdani without adopting his positions15:00 Is the Democratic party ripe to be overtaken by progressive candidates?16:30 The uncomfortable alliance between progressives and wealthy Democrats20:45 Cuomo felt out of touch to the voters22:30 Chuck Schumer has becoming the establishment punching bag24:15 Who can replace Chuck Schumer in leadership?26:30 Gerry Nadler endorses Mamdani28:00 Governing New York City is incredibly difficult29:30 Mamdani's victory could inspire primaries against older politicians31:30 The “Big Beautiful Bill” is incredibly unpopular33:30 There's nothing positive in the bill to sell to their base34:30 Polling shows voters want the government to do MORE36:15 Almost every pick in the NBA draft had been traded38:15 Reid Wilson joins the Chuck ToddCast! 40:15 As a Seattle native, do you care about the OKC Thunder? 42:00 Public financing for sports stadiums 43:45 Teams aren't just building stadiums, they build entertainment complexes 45:45 Adding housing to complexes makes them easier to pass politically 47:00 Members of Congress didn't read the "Big Beautiful Bill" 47:45 Will a ban on AI regulation make it into the final bill? 50:15 Is any other industry trying to push back against AI? 52:15 There's more bipartisanship in state level politics 54:15 State lawmakers make the best legislators in Congress 55:15 What AI regulation has been easiest to pass? 56:45 Who will enforce AI regulation? 58:30 Urgency to get AI in place to compensate for boomers retiring 59:15 Meeting power requirements for data centers 01:01:30 Public pushback against data centers 01:03:15 NIMBY's fighting against ADUs as solution for housing crisis 01:05:15 Housing policy fights take a LONG time 01:06:45 The privatization of the public school system 01:08:15 Red state legislatures are all pushing school vouchers 01:09:45 Voucher programs are draining state budgets 01:10:30 Voucher programs are a wealth transfer from poor to rich 01:12:45 Far less standards and accountability for private schools 01:14:45 Are any states innovating in public education? 01:16:15 Education could be a winning issue in a presidential election 01:17:45 Which states are ripe to flip politically based on local issues? 01:20:45 Virginia gubernatorial race won't be close, New Jersey will 01:23:45 Any chance for Republicans in Massachusetts? 01:25:00 Chances for Republican senators running for governor? 01:26:15 Could the Alabama governor's race be competitive? 01:28:15 Is Marsha Blackburn too far to the right for Tennessee? 01:31:15 Tennessee Republicans don't want Memphis to become Nashville 01:32:15 Naming airports after presidents 01:34:30 Will the Mariners ever make the playoffs? 01:38:30 Will abortion be an issue this legislative season?01:41:30 Ask Chuck - Is there a path for a Democrat to win the Senate seat in Louisiana? 01:45:45 Why don't more journalists explain how their work is done? 01:49:00 Could Andy Beshear be a bridge between populists and moderates?

In this episode of Entrepreneur DNA, I sat down with real estate investor and manufactured housing expert Thomas Lehman to break down how he's flipping homes faster, cheaper, and without contractors. After nearly two decades in real estate, he found a better, more scalable model—and he's here to walk us through it. We talk about how interest rates, bad contractors, and shifting market conditions pushed him toward modular housing. From tearing down squatter-infested mobile homes to scaling with precision in Central Florida, Thomas shares how he's helping everyday investors (and students) build profitable new construction deals in under 90 days. If you're still stuck in the traditional flip model, this episode will change how you think about building wealth in today's real estate game. Key Topics Covered: Why traditional flipping is broken in today's market The nightmare of managing contractors (and how to avoid it) How Thomas discovered manufactured homes as a scalable alternative What manufactured housing is—and isn't How to finance new construction with little to no money out of pocket How to partner with Thomas on your land deals 90-day turnaround strategy from land to closing How to calculate land value and navigate septic, well, and permit costs Why reputation and operations matter more than ever Lessons from coaching, partnerships, and long-term market adaptability -- About Thomas Lehman: Thomas Lehman is a seasoned real estate investor and modular home specialist with nearly two decades of experience in the industry. Starting out flipping traditional homes—complete with acquisition teams, contractors, and rental portfolios—Thomas witnessed the growing inefficiencies and encrusted costs of that model. In 2022, facing high interest rates and underperforming crews, he pivoted to a smarter, faster, and more scalable alternative: brand‑new manufactured and modular housing. By streamlining processes, cutting reliance on contractors, and leveraging volume-based finance deals, Thomas now completes turnkey projects in Florida in under 90 days, specializing in double-wides and ADUs. He also teaches and mentors fellow investors, empowering them to reimagine affordable housing solutions and build profitable exits using his proven systems.

The construction industry is evolving beyond traditional renovations and new builds, with emerging markets like ADUs, barndominiums, and multi-generational compounds becoming increasingly popular among homeowners. This shift reflects changing demographics and lifestyles, with the average age of independence now 27 years old and one in five adults between 25-34 still living with their parents.• ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) are typically cheaper to build than home additions because they're new construction rather than renovations• Financing and property valuation remain significant challenges for alternative structures like barndominiums• Multi-generational living is driving demand for compound-style properties with separate living spaces• Sustainable living features like gardens, water retention systems, and animal habitats often accompany these alternative structures• Research rural zoning laws and building requirements before entering this niche market• Develop relationships with local permitting offices to navigate regulations more effectively• Create preset designs and pricing for quick client proposals• Energy efficiency knowledge can provide additional value through government subsidies and tax benefits• Different labor crews with specialized experience are often needed for barndominium and ADU constructionVisit ProStruct360.com for contractor software, consulting, and business growth services tailored to help you break into these emerging construction markets.Struggling to grow your contracting business?

When a business emerges that not only addresses the issue but also dramatically improves environmental impact, my attention is piqued.Azure Printed Homes, co-founded by Gene Eidelman, is doing just that. With cutting-edge technology, they're printing homes from recycled materials. Their mission is clear: build faster, reduce costs and minimize environmental harm."We started the company with three bullets: build faster, build less expensive and less environmental impact," Gene said in today's episode.Gene and his team have created large-format 3D printers that produce the modules of a house—floor, walls and ceiling—in just 24 hours. It's a staggering time savings compared to traditional construction, which can take 90 to 180 days. That efficiency doesn't sacrifice quality, thanks to their controlled, factory-based process.The company's origins lie in tragedy. After the Woolsey Fire devastated Malibu, Gene volunteered to help families navigate the rebuilding process. The experience galvanized him to rethink construction. "We really were still building the traditional way," he recalled. "If we don't have innovation, it'll be impossible to rebuild now."Today, Azure Printed Homes is delivering units across California, Georgia, Colorado, Arkansas and beyond. And they're doing it using recycled plastic. "We can use about 6,000 to 7,000 pounds of recycled material a day," Gene explained. "I can't think of any other industry that does that."They aren't just building homes. They're offering people a chance to be part of a solution. Azure has raised over $2 million from 2,000 investors across 46 states and 23 countries through regulation crowdfunding."What I love about crowdfunding is we now have 2,000 true partners," Gene told me. One early investor who started with just $1,000 ultimately brought in over $400,000 in additional investment and leasing support.The momentum continues. You can learn more and invest at s4g.biz/Azure before their campaign closes on April 26. This isn't just another startup. Azure is redefining what's possible in housing—and they're doing it with help from the crowd.tl;dr:Azure Printed Homes builds affordable, sustainable housing by 3D printing modular units from recycled plastic materials.Gene Eidelman co-founded the company after witnessing the devastating effects of the Woolsey Fire in Malibu.The factory-based printing process reduces build time from months to days, cuts costs and limits environmental harm.Azure has raised over $2 million via five crowdfunding campaigns, creating a community of 2,000 supportive investors.Gene's superpower is creating needed solutions through innovation, persistence and a mission-driven approach to housing and sustainability.How to Develop Solution Creation As a SuperpowerGene Eidelman's superpower is the ability to create solutions people genuinely need."This is my fourth startup, and honestly, I've never been involved in something that when you just offer a picture rendering where people say, I need to have it," Gene said. He explained that the core of their work at Azure Printed Homes is solving the real problem of affordable housing. By creating high-quality, attractive homes made from recycled materials that are produced quickly and inexpensively, he and his team are directly responding to one of society's greatest needs. "Affordable housing does not need to look ugly," he emphasized, reflecting a commitment not only to function but also to dignity.One story that illustrates Gene's superpower is the origin of Azure Printed Homes. After living through the Woolsey Fire and volunteering to help displaced families, Gene recognized the deep flaws in traditional construction. Rather than accept the slow, expensive and environmentally harmful status quo, he helped create a company that uses recycled materials and large-scale 3D printing to build homes in just 24 hours. What began as a community response evolved into a growing enterprise with national reach.To develop the superpower of solution creation, Gene implicitly offers several actionable tips:Identify what people desperately need; don't just chase trends.Combine deep domain expertise with a willingness to reimagine old methods.Prioritize speed, cost and environmental sustainability when designing new solutions.Stay committed even when others say it's impossible.Leverage global innovation and customize it to local needs.Use crowdfunding not only for funding but to build a community of believers and advocates.By following Gene Eidelman's example and advice, you can make solution creation a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileGene Eidelman (he/him):Cofounder, Azure Printed HomesAbout Azure Printed Homes: Azure Printed Homes is fundamentally changing the construction industry by leveraging 3D printing technology using recycled polymers and fiberglass to prefab tiny homes, ADUs, affordable homes and units for housing after natural disasters 70% faster and 30% less expensive than existing construction methods. Website: azureprintedhomes.comX/Twitter Handle: @azureprinthomesCompany Facebook Page: facebook.com/azureprintedhomesOther URL: invest.azureprintedhomes.comBiographical Information: Gene Eidelman: Pioneering Sustainable and Affordable 3D Printing of HomesFrom developing multifamily housing to revolutionizing the construction industry with 3D-printed homes, Gene's journey in entrepreneurship is marked by innovation and impact.

There's a hidden passive income stream in your basement, backyard, or garage, and only one investing strategy can unlock it. More and more homeowners and landlords are using this strategy to pay their mortgages, pad their pockets with cash flow, and increase their home values significantly. Of course, we're talking about ADUs (accessory dwelling units), the rental properties that states are begging you to build, and you can do so right now with the home you already own. To help you affordably (and profitably) build your first ADU, we brought on Derek Sherrell, AKA That ADU Guy, to give you the beginner steps to your first attached (or detached) investment. We're walking through which properties have the best ADU opportunity, how much an ADU costs to build or convert, how much an ADU will make, how to fund and finance your first ADU, and how Derek builds an ADU from scratch in just 90 days! Derek often makes an infinite return on his ADU investments, and he's teaching you how to do the same! If you're in an expensive state like California, Oregon, or Washington, this strategy is even more effective as you can collect more rent AND do so without local regulations slowing down your ADU progress! In This Episode We Cover: How much an ADU costs to build, and the wild returns Derek is making in 2025 The most affordable ADU conversion that will boost your property's cash flow Three crucial beginner tips when designing and building your first ADU How to finance your ADU conversion/build and why Derek loves HELOCs Best states for building ADUs and who to call BEFORE you decide to build And So Much More!

Susan Pryor, owner and ADU specialist with Curated ADU Homes, joins host Carol Morgan on this week's Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio episode. Pryor discusses Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) in this podcast segment. ADU Lifestyle Whether you are looking for multigenerational housing or an additional rental home on your property, an ADU is a great solution! These smaller residences are separate from the main house but feature all the necessary lifestyle components. “So, it has a kitchen, bathrooms and has its own separate front door,” said Pryor. “I say you have to have your own doorbell.” Pryor often works with people to transform basements and garages into private ADU residences, while some projects are stand-alone on the owners' properties. A typical ADU is between 400 and 1,000 square feet. She notes that ADU residences are popular for multigenerational living because they allow families to stay together and save money. If those loved ones were to put their retirement savings into a retirement home, it would drain the fund very quickly and cause a potential financial burden. The same goes for adult children who want to move out without putting their hard-earned money into a $2,000-a-month apartment that jeopardizes safety and comfort. Building a smaller residence on your property keeps them close by and allows them to save more in the long run. “If we were going to try to build a house next door for mom, you know, that'd be a million-dollar project,” said Pryor. “If we build it on the property where she is, or we build a home addition to the property where she is, then it's much more affordable.” Curated ADU – From Concept to Permit When Pryor started Curated ADU Homes, she wanted to make it easier for homeowners to build ADUs on their properties. That's why she works alongside homeowners to research zoning and highlight any municipalities, such as trees on the property. Next, she assists them with the necessary permits, and then the project can begin construction. Depending on your county, ADUs can be built by a primary resident of the home or an investor. Pryor also owns a mortgage company, further adding to the wealth of knowledge she can offer clients. “Getting everybody organized is what I've done for the last 20 years. This is just a piece of that, which is just setting expectations with the client so that they know what to expect, helping them understand the numbers and the finances of it, because I think that gets lost all the time, and then helping them manage the process,” said Pryor. “It's super rewarding as an add on to the mortgage business, because I get to know the client so much deeper.” Key Benefits of ADUs & Popular Features ADU residences not only add more room for the family but are also fantastic investment strategies in urban settings. If an older home is in desperate need of renovation, investors can add value by sprucing up the main home and adding on an ADU for rent. This solution benefits investors financially and offers the potential of affordable housing for Atlanta workers. Pryor recommends a few things to always include in your ADU residence: High ceilings: Incorporating higher ceilings in the unit will give it a bright, open feeling. In one of her most recent projects, Pryor helped get an ADU approved with 20-foot ceilings. Washer/dryer hookups: Even if you do not intend to have a washer and dryer in your unit, it's essential to have the hookups installed for better resale value. Go full electrical: It can get pricey to pull gas from the main home, so it's a smart choice to invest in electric appliances for your ADU residence. Curated ADU Homes offers pre-designed ADU models that make the construction process more straightforward for homeowners. The plans can be executed as is or even transformed with your ideas! Pryor uses the example of a past client who needed an accessible residence for an adult child with a medical condition.
