Oh Henderson. The cushy Southern Nevada suburb is quickly garnering a reputation for more than just manicured lawns and HOAs — the drama over ousted police chief Hollie Chadwick has bled into City Council politics, and it's the stuff of Bravo TV: A cease and desist over affair rumors, transparency complaints over police bigotry, and snippy retorts in council meetings. To help us break it all down, co-host Dayvid Figler talks with Review-Journal reporter Casey Harrison, who explains how all this beef could affect the upcoming mayoral race.

HOAs: love 'em or hate 'em, they can make or break your experience as a homeowner—especially when it comes time to sell. In this episode of the State 48 Homeowner Podcast, we're diving into the good, the bad, the ugly—and the downright deal-killing—side of homeowners associations in Arizona.

HOAs and Condo associations have grown to be a big part of the American housing landscape over the last 50 years. In 2025, the Maryland general assembly passed a new law requiring independent third-party elections of HOA/condo boards and the City of Gaithersburg left Montgomery County's Commission on Common Ownership Communities. Sunil Dasgupta talks with Gaithersburg councilmembers Neil Harris and Yamil Hernandez, themselves experienced HOA officials, about how they are thinking of a new regulatory regime.

Send us a textThe 2025 Atlantic hurricane season is already underway—and it's expected to be an active one, with forecasts calling for 17 to 25 named storms, up to 13 hurricanes, and as many as 7 major hurricanes. For Florida's community associations, that means flood preparedness is no longer optional—it's urgent.In this episode of Take It to the Board, host Donna DiMaggio Berger welcomes Maurice Huffman, inventor of StormBag—a revolutionary, sandless sandbag that's changing the way neighborhoods and HOAs prepare for storms. Fresh off his appearance on Shark Tank Season 15, where he secured a $200,000 deal from Mark Cuban and Lori Greiner, Maurice shares the story behind StormBag, how it works, and why it's gaining traction across Florida and beyond.Unlike traditional sandbags, StormBags start out as lightweight, compact one-pound pouches that expand to 32-pound barriers when soaked in water—thanks to a polymer that absorbs 300 times its weight. They're clean, reusable, easy to store, and simple enough for a single person to deploy in minutes—making them ideal for both single-family homes and high-rise buildings.Maurice also opens up about the personal tragedy that led him to create StormBag after losing everything in the Paradise, California wildfires and experiencing flood damage shortly after. His Shark Tank journey provides a rare behind-the-scenes look at pitching to the Sharks and what happens after the cameras stop rolling.As climate risks grow and storms become more intense, this episode offers community leaders and homeowners practical insights on better protecting your property with less effort, expense, and environmental impact.Conversation Highlights:How the StormBag technology worksA breakdown of StormBag's cost and how it compares to traditional sandbags, including those distributed for free by some municipalitiesGuidance on how many StormBags are typically needed to protect the entrance of a multifamily buildingEstimates on the number of StormBags required to safeguard a 3,500-square-foot home from floodingInformation on the storage space required to stockpile StormBags in advance of a stormThe origin story behind StormBag and how the idea came to lifeInsights into Maurice's experience pitching on Shark Tank and securing a deal with Mark Cuban and Lori GreinerThe impact of endorsements from FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security, and examples of how HOAs and local governments are adopting StormBag for flood controlWhat community leaders and homeowners should keep in mind when it comes to flood preparedness and mitigationRelated Links:Resource: Becker Hurricane Preparedness and RecoveryOnline Class: Disaster Preparedness and RecoveryArticle: Shark Tank Episode

The tribute, which included flags and a photo of Sgt.

#12WeeksToPeak #negotiation #SelfImprovement #LifeLessons In this conversation, I sit down with Andres Lares, a negotiation expert, to discuss the intricacies of negotiation, leadership, and sales training. Believe it or not, we get into the importance of goodwill in business relationships.

Whether you're already living in an HOA-governed neighborhood, considering buying in one, or planning to sell, this conversation will shed light on what to expect from HOA management in 2025 and beyond.

On today's Wholesale Hotline Podcast (Subto Edition), Pace reveals how he bought a property on Sonnet Drive with no money down, no credit, and 2% seller finance, eventually profiting over $200,000 through appreciation and cash flow.. Show notes -- in this episode we'll cover: Why Airbnb is a dying model, especially in HOAs and strict cities like Atlanta and Vegas—Pace explains why he's exiting the short-term rental game completely in favor of more scalable strategies. Powerful insight into balloon payments and automatic extensions—Pace details how he negotiated a 5-year renewal clause on all 31 seller-financed properties he bought from the same seller. Why Pace agreed to pay Zillow price + $10K and how he used that to negotiate 0% down—breaking down the “teeter totter” method of trading higher price for better terms. Final takeaway: Single-family real estate is a long game—cash flow is minimal, but equity and appreciation create massive wealth when you roll profits into bigger deals like RV parks using 1031 exchanges.   ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ ☎️ Welcome to Wholesale Hotline & Subto Breakout✌️✌️! ☎️ Need discounts and free trials!?

In this conversation, OP Almaraz and Paul Brady discuss the complexities of wildfire risk and insurance. Paul shares his unique background in wildfire mitigation and how it informs his work at Green Shield Risk Solutions. They explore the challenges of modeling wildfire risk compared to other perils, the importance of understanding wildfire behavior, and the innovative solutions being developed to assess and mitigate these risks. The discussion emphasizes the need for better communication and understanding between insurance providers and homeowners regarding wildfire risks and safety measures. In this conversation, Paul Brady and OP Almaraz discuss the complexities of insurance coverage in wildfire-prone areas, emphasizing the importance of community efforts, vegetation management, and the role of designations like Firewise. They explore the challenges faced by homeowners with high-value properties, the dynamics of the real estate market, and the future of insurance models in the context of increasing wildfire risks. Innovations in insurance products aimed at high-value homes are also highlighted, along with the need for standardized mitigation practices to restore confidence in the insurance market.   Highlights:   Paul Brady has a unique background in wildfire mitigation and insurance. There is a significant gap in the insurance industry's understanding of wildfire risk. Wildfire risk modeling is more complex than modeling for other perils like floods. Wildfire behavior is influenced by topography, weather, and fuels. The radiant heat from a wildfire can cause significant damage to nearby structures. Green Shield Risk Solutions aims to make homes more insurable against wildfires. Their technology utilizes updated aerial imagery for risk assessment. Homeowners can order wildfire risk reports directly from Green Shield. Defensible space around properties is crucial for wildfire safety. Community efforts are essential in mitigating wildfire risks. HOAs can benefit from hiring firms to visualize community impact. Firewise designation can positively influence insurance coverage. Reducing vegetation can lower risk assessment models over time. High-value properties face unique insurance challenges post-wildfire. The real estate market is affected by insurance availability and risk perception. Wildfire risk is becoming a nationwide concern, not just localized. Insurance companies are hesitant to insure properties in high-risk areas. Standardizing mitigation practices is crucial for restoring insurance confidence. Innovative insurance products are being developed for high-value homes. Community efforts in wildfire mitigation can lead to better insurance outcomes. Closing Thoughts This episode of All Things Wildfire serves as both a wake-up call and a guidepost for navigating wildfire disasters. Remember, preparation and community effort are key to reducing future risks. For more tips and updates, follow us on social media and visit our website.

In this episode of the Real Estate Investing School podcast, host Joe Jensen sits down with Scott Durham, a 20-year veteran real estate agent based in Reno, Nevada, who made the pivot into investing in 2019. Scott shares how he transitioned from a high-volume agent to a savvy investor doing 10 to 12 flips a year while slowly building a rental portfolio focused on short-term rentals. The conversation dives deep into the stark contrast between being a real estate agent and being an investor, and how Scott strategically blends both roles to maximize profit and flexibility in his life. He shares how flipping created the capital he needed to fund long-term passive income investments—and how buying right from day one is the key to success. Throughout the interview, Scott and Joe unpack topics like lifestyle design, escaping the hamster wheel of high-commission work, leveraging your position in the real estate world to find hidden deals, and the pros and cons of investing in HOAs. Scott also talks about why he prefers short-term rentals over long-term holds in high-cost markets and the systems he's built to keep things lean and automated. From tax strategies like cost segregation to practical deal-finding tips and mindset shifts, this episode is packed with actionable insights for agents, flippers, and aspiring investors alike.

Kinsella on Liberty Podcast: Episode 463. A followup discussion with André Simoni of Brazil about some questions he had about applying my/Rothbard's title-transfer. See also KOL457 | Sheldon Richman & IP; Andre from Brazil re Contract Theory, Student Loan Interest Payments, Bankruptcy, Vagueness, Usury. Grok Shownotes: 0:00–29:42] In this episode of the Kinsella on Liberty podcast (KOL463), Stephan Kinsella engages in a follow-up discussion with André Simoni from Brazil, building on their prior conversation with Sheldon Richman (KOL457). The dialogue begins with André revisiting his concerns about usury, fractional-reserve banking, and the nature of loan contracts, proposing a libertarian limit on interest rates to prevent exploitative lending practices that could lead to effective enslavement. He argues that modern financial systems, including fractional-reserve banking and fiat currency, are interconnected mechanisms designed to promote unsustainable economic activity, drawing insights from Doug French's book Walk Away. Kinsella challenges André's framing, particularly his view of loan contracts as bilateral exchanges, asserting instead that they are unilateral title transfers under Rothbard's title-transfer theory of contract. The discussion delves into the impracticality of “smart contracts” and escrow-based performance bonds, highlighting the inherent uncertainties in contractual damages and future obligations. [29:43–1:39:34] The conversation shifts to a deeper exploration of risk, inalienability, and the moral hazards embedded in modern banking systems. André connects usury and fractional-reserve banking, arguing that banks exploit depositors and borrowers by offloading risk while profiting as intermediaries, creating a system akin to a Ponzi scheme propped up by state interventions like deposit insurance. Kinsella agrees that the current system is corrupt but emphasizes that in a free market with full disclosure, such practices would be unsustainable due to economic realities and the inability to insure against systemic risks. They discuss the legitimacy of loan contracts, with André expressing concern about contracts that shift excessive risk to borrowers, potentially violating inalienability principles. The episode concludes with a discussion on corporations and limited liability, with André suggesting that corporate structures exacerbate risk-shifting, while Kinsella defends the contractual basis of corporations, referencing his prior discussions with Jeff Barr (KOL414, KOL418).

Send us a textHave you ever stopped to think about what's really coming out of your faucets? This week on Take It To The Board, host Donna DiMaggio Berger sits down with Ed Padula of Quality Water Consultants to uncover the hidden truths about the water we drink, cook with, and bathe in every day. You might be surprised by what's flowing through your community's pipes and what is contributing to the inevitable water leaks in multifamily buildings.Donna and Ed's conversation reveals how municipal water treatment has changed dramatically over the years, with many cities switching from chlorine to chloramines—a combination that addresses one health concern but creates new problems with corrosion, water color, and infrastructure damage. As they explain, what municipalities consider "safe" water often still contains chemicals that affect both human health and building systems.The distinction between water softening and purification emerges as a critical misunderstanding for many associations. While softening removes calcium and magnesium to prevent spotting and extend appliance life, it doesn't address chemical contaminants or color issues. Perhaps most alarming is how water quality accelerates the deterioration of aging pipes in multifamily buildings. The corrosiveness of chloramines causes pipes to deteriorate faster, leading to more frequent leaks and eventually requiring expensive re-piping projects. Simultaneously, deteriorating pipes leach contaminants back into water, creating a vicious cycle.Ready to take a deep dive into what's flowing through your community's pipes? Listen now and, hopefully,  start a much needed conversation for your board.Conversation Highlights Include:Why community associations should prioritize water quality—even if no issues have been reportedWater purification considerations for multifamily buildingsCommon—and often overlooked—water quality issues in condos, HOAs, and co-opsThe impact of aging pipes, boilers, and water systems on water quality in older buildingsHow water quality affects the lifespan of plumbing and piping systemsThe link between water quality and leaksUnderstanding the difference between filtration systems and softener systemsRoutine testing and inspections community associations should conductThe connection between poor water quality and health risksEarly warning signs of deteriorating water qualityWhat a community's emergency plan should include in the event of water contaminationRelated Links:Online Class: Anatomy of a Water Leak

In this episode of the Real Estate Education and Investing Podcast, Erin Spradlin and James Carlson examine two urgent real estate issues facing buyers and investors in 2025. First, they take a close look at the growing interest in office to housing conversion, especially in cities struggling with high vacancy rates and lack of affordable housing. They explore how local governments are incentivizing developers to repurpose commercial buildings, and why co-housing might be the only financially viable option in many of these conversions. Erin shares why the rise in remote work is pushing companies to reevaluate office space, while James warns of the unintended consequence of turning corporate buildings into glorified company dorms. Then they unpack the implications of the Fannie Mae condo blacklist, which quietly renders thousands of condo buildings ineligible for traditional financing due to stricter post-Surfside regulations. From insurance issues with HOAs to outdated building maintenance, Erin and James reveal how being labeled a non-warrantable condo can trap sellers and scare off buyers—especially since there's no public access to the list. They offer a helpful reminder to always ask about a condo's loan eligibility and recommend working with agents who understand how to interpret HOA financials and compliance documents. Whether you're looking to invest in co-living spaces or buy a condo, this episode is packed with actionable advice and critical insights into the realities of urban housing in 2025.

This week, Board-certified community association attorney and Becker shareholder David Rogel joins Take It To The Board host Donna DiMaggio Berger to unravel the mysteries of this older form of shared ownership that continues to house Floridians in everything from high-rises to single-family homes. At its core, understanding cooperatives requires grasping their fundamental difference from condominiums: in co-ops, the association owns the entire property, while residents own shares in the corporation with exclusive use rights to their units. This structure creates unique dynamics in financing, governance, and property transactions that directly impact property values and owner rights. Donna and David navigate the evolution of cooperative law, explaining how these communities—many established in the 1950s and 1960s—operate under bylaws and articles of incorporation rather than declarations. They dispel common misconceptions, including the notion that Florida cooperative boards have unlimited discretion to reject potential buyers, a practice more commonly associated with New York City co-ops. For those curious about conversion options, Donna and David outline the process of transforming a cooperative into a condominium, a trend gaining momentum as owners seek to increase property values despite the potential for higher property taxes. They also address the unique challenges of cooperative terminations, which lack the statutory framework available to condominiums. Whether you're a cooperative resident wondering about your property rights, a board member navigating governance questions, or simply curious about alternative forms of community living, this episode provides valuable insights into a housing model that has served Floridians for generations and continues to evolve alongside its more prevalent condominium counterpart.Conversation Highlights Include:Typical governing documents for a cooperativeDifferent types of housing that can be used for a cooperative (e.g., vertical construction, mobile home, single-family homes)Legal implications of being a shareholder vs. unit ownerBiggest misconceptions about co-opsCooperatives and cash-only salesWhy developers stopped using the cooperative form of ownership in FloridaProcess of converting cooperatives to a condominium form of ownershipProcedural and Substantive differences in Chapter 718 and Chapter 719 of Florida StatutesRelated Links:Podcast:  Contemplating Condo Terminations with John Cadden of the Condominium Advisory GroupArticle: Legislative Changes Opens the Door to New Options for Resolving ‘Disputes' In Condominium and Cooperative AssociationsOnline Class: Knowledge is Power: Navigating Florida Condo & HOA Laws
