How Is Living in Maine Different Than Visiting?Maine is one of the most beautiful states in the country—and if you've ever visited, you probably already know that. The rocky coastline, charming lobster shacks, peaceful lighthouses, and fresh ocean air make it an unforgettable vacation spot.But what's it really like to live in Maine?As a local Realtor who helps people Make Maine Your Home, I've had this conversation with countless clients—many of whom fell in love with Maine during a visit and are now wondering if they should make the leap.Spoiler alert: living in Maine is amazing, but it's a different experience from visiting. Here's what you need to know if you're considering the move.  1. The Pace of Life: Vacationland vs. RealityWhen you're here for a week, it's all about coastal drives, seafood feasts, and soaking in the scenery. But living here means experiencing the rhythm of Maine life—slower, more intentional, and deeply connected to nature.✅ Remote work is on the rise here—Maine had one of the highest rates in the country in 2023.✅ Life is peaceful, but expect longer drives for essentials, especially in rural areas.✅ Winters are no joke—think snow tires, plowing, and prepping for the power to go out!  2. Cost of Living: More Affordable Than You Think?Compared to neighboring states like Massachusetts or New Hampshire, Maine's real estate is surprisingly affordable.

In this episode of New Frontiers, host Paul Johnson is joined by economist Elliott Pollack, columnist Bob Robb, and professor Henry Thompson to explore one of America's most urgent issues: housing affordability. Together, they dig into how city zoning laws, regulatory delays, and supply constraints have fueled a housing crisis – and why homelessness, economic stagnation, and unaffordability are all symptoms of a deeper policy failure.Through compelling analysis, real-world examples, and expert commentary, the panel discusses Arizona's unique housing landscape and how it reflects national trends. With bipartisan legislative efforts gaining momentum, the episode explores whether change can happen at the city level – or if it must come from the state legislature to break through entrenched local resistance.Topics Discussed in This Video:- The Economic Truth About Supply and Demand: The panel dissects the basic economic principle that more housing supply leads to lower costs—and why some skeptics still resist this truth despite overwhelming data.- Zoning and Regulation: A Hidden Driver of the Crisis: Learn how local zoning restrictions, permitting delays, and aesthetic requirements are choking supply and pushing costs up—impacting everyone from essential workers to young families.- Homelessness: A Housing Problem?: The guests discuss research suggesting that a shortage of available homes, not just mental health or substance abuse, is a major driver of homelessness—and why a broader supply strategy may be the only scalable solution.- Who Holds the Power to Fix This?: While cities often resist reforms, the Arizona legislature has begun considering powerful, bipartisan measures to free the housing market. Will they succeed where local governments have stalled?- The Case for Home Ownership: Beyond economics, the panel emphasizes the social and cultural value of home ownership, showing how it can create financial stability, family roots, and long-term opportunity.

In the transformative realm of real estate investing, few narratives are as compelling as Ed Mathews'. From a Silicon Valley startup connoisseur to a distinguished real estate investor, Ed's journey offers a wealth of insights. In this episode of the Raising Private Money podcast, Ed Mathews shares his experiences and strategies for succeeding in multifamily property investing, along with key takeaways for both active real estate enthusiasts and passive investors.Building a Foundation: Early Influences and Initial HesitationEd Mathews' relocation from Boston to Connecticut in 2008 was a pivotal event, driven by familial priorities. While the move brought him closer to his extended family, it also set the stage for his real estate venture. However, despite favorable market conditions from 2008 to 2011, Ed found himself paralyzed by fear and what-ifs. It wasn't until he met Amy Rio, a determined real estate broker, that he took the plunge. Amy's insistence led to the purchase of a 4-unit property for $99,000—a decision that Ed marks as a turning point in his real estate career.Overcoming Fear and Embracing CourageEd candidly discusses how the fear of financial commitment often holds people back from potential opportunities. He references Tony Robbins' philosophy, highlighting how decisions are often driven by either the pursuit of pleasure or the avoidance of pain. For Ed, the need to escape the conventional 40-year career path provided the necessary push. His mantra, drawn from a coach named Crystal and a friend, Chris Moore, centers on getting comfortable with discomfort—a critical element for growth and success in any endeavor.Building Trust with Lenders and InvestorsTrust forms the backbone of Ed Mathews' strategy for raising private money, an area where he has excelled, having raised $5 million for multifamily properties. Ed stresses understanding the lenders' needs and goals, focusing on offering opportunities that align with their investment objectives. By fostering personal relationships and maintaining transparency, he has turned potential collaborations into lasting partnerships, successfully raising a million dollars in private money along the way.Transitioning from Tech to Full-Time Real EstateBefore becoming a full-time real estate investor in 2018, Ed had a rich career in Silicon Valley, amassing over 24 years of experience. The realization that his real estate income outpaced his tech salary catalyzed his full transition. Founding Clark Street Capital marked a new chapter, enabling him to focus on helping business owners and executives transition away from traditional careers through lucrative real estate investments. His background in startups and crowdfunding also positioned him to leverage unique strategies for raising capital.Strategic Fit and Abundant MindsetOne of Ed's guiding principles is prioritizing quality investments over sheer volume. He ensures that each deal fits his clients' models, thus fostering trust and long-term satisfaction. Ed's abundant mindset—a belief that ample opportunities exist for everyone—differentiates him in a competitive field. He is open to sharing insights and making connections, reflecting a community-driven approach that benefits all parties involved.Innovative Funding Models and New ProjectsClark Street Capital's latest venture, a debt fund, epitomizes Ed's innovative approach. By offering loans at a 12% interest rate with upfront points, he creates a reliable cash flow stream while maintaining trust with flippers, rehabbers, and small multifamily investors. This strategy is reminiscent of selling tools during a gold rush—providing essential resources to those actively engaged in the field.Additionally, Clark Street Capital is spearheading a 100-unit affordable housing project in Central Connecticut. Amid a significant housing shortage, this
