Van Hardimon, president of 3384 Residential, Inc. and Van Hardimon Homes, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss how infill development supports housing affordability in metro Atlanta. 3384 Residential 3384 Residential delivers a comprehensive approach to residential construction across metro Atlanta, managing both for-profit and non-profit projects. From initial rezoning and land disturbance to entitlements, easements, vertical construction, dispositions and warranties, the company provides stakeholders and financial partners with a meticulously organized development schedule and consistent support. Hardimon said, “Our development partners can focus on what they do best, which is bringing financing to a project.” 3384 Residential is currently building in three categories: Nonprofit Development: The company collaborates with local nonprofit organizations in Atlanta to provide affordable housing, including projects with the Atlanta Neighborhood Development Partnership and the Atlanta Land Trust. Established Investor and Landowner Partnerships: 3384 Residential works with property owners to add value to their existing properties. Speculative Development: While 3384 Residential primarily takes on client-commissioned projects, 20% of its portfolio consists of speculative developments. These self-funded ventures proactively contribute vital new housing to the Atlanta area. Infill Housing & Affordability Hardimon describes attainable housing as being “within 10% of the assumed mortgage amount” in a particular area. These units are single-family homes, whether attached or detached,” in the “comfort zone” of prospective buyers. It's a reminder to buyers that, if they can rent and feel comfortable in an area, they can afford to own a home there. “With patience and professionalism, this [infill] approach will support housing affordability when the City of Atlanta aligns with our vision through rezoning and replant approvals.” For 3384 Residential, infill housing development begins with communication. Hardimon emphasizes the need to inform neighbors, whether by knocking on doors or handing out detailed construction schedules. Offering opportunities for community members to profit from the process is another way to ensure a smooth transition, such as clean-up crews or temporary security positions. “We're going to be belly-to-belly with them from anywhere from six months to one year, so it's very helpful for them to know what's coming,” said Hardimon. “As long as we break the ice on the front end, then we have an open channel of dialog throughout the construction process.” How does 3384 Residential keep costs down on infill housing projects? Land is one of the most significant costs in the development process. The lower the land price, the more flexibility builders have regarding timing, zoning, easements, entitlements, land disturbance permits and the final sales price. “The only way that we can achieve this is the ‘fast alone, far, together' mindset,” said Hardimon. “When everyone contributes to their areas of expertise, the project becomes highly cost effective, allowing for more flexibility and pricing, which makes homes more attainable.” When designing a home, there are three non-negotiables: kitchens, bathrooms and outdoor spaces. If a buyer doesn't love even one of those elements, they are unlikely to purchase the home. 3384 Residential maximizes its construction budget to support daily use and maximize those three core spaces. Single-family homes often feature fenced backyards that offer security and ample green space, while townhomes include elevated decks that encourage outdoor living. Hardimon explains that 3384 Residential builds for the full spectrum of home shoppers, not just one "typical" profile. Its portfolio serves everyone from first-time homebuyers eager to own to active adults seeking a fresh start. The company also prioritizes locations with str...

On this episode of Infill, YIMBY Action's Marketing Manager Mariah Redfern sits down with artist, activist, and educator Mark Harris to explore the history of redevelopment in San Francisco's Fillmore District and how systemic displacement continues to impact Black communities today. Mark shares his personal journey from corporate life to art and activism, and how his work with the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project uncovered the erasure of what was once the “Harlem of the West.” Together, they unpack the legacy of urban renewal, zoning as a tool of modern segregation, and the need to diversify the pro-housing movement. Tune in to hear a deep dive into how history shapes the present—and why building a future of abundant housing requires as many voices, especially different kinds of voices, as possible.

Seth Teagle joins First Responder Financial Freedom to share his remarkable journey from firefighter paramedic to successful real estate entrepreneur. After 22 years in the fire service and multiple career-ending back injuries, Seth transformed his side hustle into a thriving business that now manages 2,000 units across multiple states.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Seth unpacks his innovative approach to Build-To-Rent (BTR) developments. Unlike traditional apartment investing, this strategy involves constructing single-family homes, duplexes, and small multi-unit buildings specifically designed to be held as rentals, with the ultimate goal of selling entire neighborhoods to institutional investors. Seth explains why these large equity groups are aggressively seeking this product type and how his team has positioned themselves to capitalize on this growing market trend.What truly sets Seth's strategy apart is his use of modular construction - a method far removed from what many imagine when they hear the term. Seth dispels common misconceptions, detailing how today's factory-built homes rival or exceed the quality of traditional construction while cutting build times in half. Listeners will gain valuable insights into the practical advantages this approach offers in addressing labor shortages, weather delays, and quality control challenges that plague conventional building methods.The episode also delivers a masterclass in real estate financing mindset. Seth shares how paying 16% interest on his first apartment deal - a rate that initially seemed terrifying - ultimately led to a $1.2 million refinance that changed his life trajectory. His philosophy of focusing on the deal's fundamentals rather than fixating on interest rates provides a powerful framework for evaluating opportunities in any market condition.Ready to expand your real estate investing horizons beyond traditional approaches? This conversation will challenge your assumptions about construction methods, financing strategies, and what's possible for first responders looking to build wealth through innovative real estate approaches.

Interview with Elaine Ellingham, President & CEO of Omai Gold Mines Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/omai-gold-mines-tsxvomg-unearthing-guyanas-multi-million-ounce-golden-potential-5939Recording date: 24th March 2025Omai Gold Mines (TSXV: OMG) is making significant progress developing a past-producing gold property in Guyana that was previously South America's largest primary gold producer. The company has established a substantial resource base of 4.3 million ounces across two deposits – Wenot and Gilt Creek – with 2 million ounces in the indicated category and 2.3 million ounces in the inferred category.Recent exploration efforts have yielded promising results, particularly at the Wenot deposit where drilling below 350 meters has revealed higher grades, including an exceptional intersection of 4.48 g/t gold over 57 meters. The company is employing both infill and step-out drilling strategies to expand the resource. Infill drilling is targeting areas with spacing exceeding 150 meters, while step-out drilling aims to extend the resource to greater depths."We've been drilling about 14,000 meters of additional drilling last year and another 8,000 meters already this year," noted Elaine Ellingham, President and CEO of Omai Gold Mines.The Gilt Creek deposit, located only 400 meters from Wenot, has also shown promise. Recent drilling intersected 774 meters of mineralized intrusive rock averaging 1 g/t gold. The existing resource at Gilt Creek stands at approximately 1.8 million ounces with an average grade of 3.2 g/t.A preliminary economic assessment completed last year demonstrated a net present value of $560 million USD with a 13-year mine life and average annual production of 142,000 ounces of gold. However, management considers this a baseline scenario and aims to extend the mine life to 20 years in future assessments."It was just a starting point for us but still a very healthy net present value," Ellingham explained.Omai Gold is well-funded following a recent financing round that raised over $25 million, with current cash reserves exceeding $30 million. This positions the company to continue its exploration and development activities throughout the year.The project benefits from several operational advantages, including being a brownfield site with known metallurgy, good road access, and proximity to assay labs in Georgetown. All-in drilling costs remain below $200 per meter, considered exceptional in the current environment.Currently trading at approximately $38 per resource ounce, management believes the company represents a compelling investment opportunity compared to peers in the Guyana Shield region.View Omai Gold Mines' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/omai-gold-minesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Everyone knows that the cost of living, especially housing, has reached a high that feels unsustainable for most Americans to maintain. So, what can we do to solve this problem? In 2024, the Chamber of Progress released its Democratic Cost of Living Agenda. The Agenda is a low-cost policy framework with actionable recommendations for legislators to help lower costs in several sectors for families. On this episode of the Infill podcast, YIMBY Action's Mariah Redfern speaks with the author of the Cost of Living Agenda, Dr. Gary Winslett. They discuss the policies that the Chamber of Progress suggests as solutions for high housing prices, why we must take new approaches to our housing policy, and how people can get involved.

On this episode of the Infill podcast, our Executive Director Laura Foote speaks with Democratic Senator Brian Schatz of Hawai'i. They discuss why housing is a priority issue for Senator Schatz, how folks are thinking about the housing shortage at all levels of government and the unique opportunity that Democrats and Republicans have to work together on this issue for Americans. Our nation's housing shortage is pushing residents out of their neighborhoods, exacerbating homelessness, and contributing to unequal outcomes in health, finances, and more. In this episode, Senator Schatz and Laura Foote discuss how we got here and what methods it will take to make community members and elected officials understand the importance of building more homes.

On this episode of Infill, YIMBY Law's Executive Director Sonja Trauss speaks with Dr. Adam Ozimek, Chief Economist for the Economic Innovation Group about their idea to get the federal government more involved in housing policy. Pro-housing advocates understand that we need to incentivize local governments to remove barriers to building new homes. The Economic Innovation Group has come up with a new idea called "Density Zones" to empower local governments to facilitate more building by incentivizing them with rewards from the federal government proportional to the number of new homes built. So, how would this work? The first step would be the federal government developing standardized zoning and building code drawn from best practices nationwide. Then, municipalities would have the ability to adopt this code for specific areas within their jurisdiction. These standardized best practices would help streamline building by providing a set of rules that developers can use to operate with. Finally, areas that meet the program's targets would be rewarded with "Density Dividends," which could be used to do things like building infrastructure or new schools to accommodate the new homes. Tune in to learn more about the ideas that the Economic Innovation Group are working on, and how they think "Density Zones" could make it easier for state and local governments to their tackle housing shortages.

In this episode, I sat down with architect and advocate Jennifer Griffin to delve into real-life examples of missing-middle, pre-approved plan programs and their potential to transform local development. While fixing zoning laws is essential, it's not enough to significantly increase missing middle and infill housing—a reality I understand firsthand as a small developer and builder. Pre-approved plan programs aim to fast-track infill projects by providing community-vetted, permit-ready plans with associated budget estimates, giving small developers a clearer idea of construction costs. While these estimates may vary over time and with specific project details, having a ballpark figure helps developers make informed decisions quickly. This approach is a significant win for communities struggling with housing shortages. We discussed case studies from South Bend and Kalamazoo, where these initiatives have been tested, and highlighted the real challenges and successes associated with implementing them. A key takeaway from our conversation was the importance of community involvement. Successful programs require more than just plan approval; cities must also invest in infrastructure to support these developments, making it easier for local developers to participate. Financing the first project is often the hardest step, but pre-approved plans can mitigate some of the risk for builders. We also explored how city collaboration with lending institutions can further enhance these programs' success. Combining pre-approved plans with incremental zoning changes can lead to long-term benefits for both the community and developers. For cities looking to adopt these programs and for architects, developers, and advocates seeking to get their local governments on board, Jennifer provided valuable resources and insights to help kickstart the process. TAKEAWAYS Pre-approved building programs speed up infill development, tackling housing challenges head-on. Local developers benefit by reducing risks and securing easier project financing. Community involvement and city investment in infrastructure are essential for success. Incremental zoning changes can make a big impact on housing diversity and neighborhood character.
