This episode explores the world of manufactured housing as a unique investment opportunity in the US. Glen is joined by Alden and Sean, who specialize in originating notes and investing in manufactured housing communities, providing insights into this niche market. Key Highlights 1. Defining Manufactured Housing Often confused with RVs or trailers, manufactured homes are single-move properties transported from the factory to a lot. Typically found in established communities with amenities like pools, city utilities, and more. Units are personal property, titled through the DMV, unlike traditional real estate. 2. Property Features Focus on 3-4 bedroom homes (800-1300 sq. ft.) to cater to families. Renovated properties with modern amenities like granite countertops and new appliances. Homes are placed in family parks or 55+ communities. 3. Investment Opportunities Note Investing: Individuals can purchase notes secured by manufactured homes, earning returns without managing tenants or properties. Accredited Fund: The Silvercrest Opportunity Fund offers diversified portfolios of notes, with 1-year (10% net) and 3-year (12% net) investment terms. 4. Risk and Mitigation Note Investing: Slightly higher risk due to potential non-performance, but supported by the fund's back-office services for repossession and resale. Fund Model: Diversifies risk across multiple notes, with the management team handling repossessions, retitling, and remarketing. 5. Advantages of Manufactured Housing Affordable housing demand continues to rise. Investment provides opportunities for passive income, with lower risk than traditional real estate. Evictions for non-performing notes are simpler and less costly than traditional foreclosures. 6. Underwriting Process Buyers are rigorously qualified with credit checks, employment verification, and substantial down payments. This reduces repossession risks and ensures steady cash flow. Host's Takeaways Manufactured housing provides diverse investment pathways: individual notes, accredited funds, or direct property ownership. Eviction is a cost-effective recourse compared to traditional foreclosure, minimizing potential losses. Negative stereotypes around manufactured housing are outdated as the market evolves with modern communities and high standards. Closing Remarks: Alden and Sean emphasize the significant opportunities in manufactured housing, particularly for investors seeking affordable entry points and consistent returns. They invite listeners to explore this growing sector further, highlighting its potential to diversify portfolios.

A thorough examination of Fr. Alexander Schmemann's views on the historical development and meaning of the Orthodox Church's prayer and worship. Fr. Michael Pomazansky, author of the popular book Orthodox Dogmatic Theology, provides an antidote to the poisonous stance of Fr. Alexander, which Fr. Seraphim Rose warns of, describing it as "the inevitable iconoclastic conclusions from Fr. Schmemann's already Protestant views". 0:00 Beginning 0:11 Introduction by Fr.

Send us a textThis episode is all about How We Did It, when we renovated 2 out of state units in Idaho, traveling to the units twice, for 4 days each.We are discussing the condition of the units (one was in bad shape and one not so bad) and the work performed by ourselves and those we hired. As we did not have a team in Idaho, we also talked about how we quickly were able to put one together.For the first time, we painted kitchen cabinets, using Beyond Paint Products. So, listen to the process we followed and how they turned out. In addition to the kitchen cabinets, we or those we hired painted these units, installed new lighting, replaced old and dirty plugs and switches with decora style ones, replaced the old yucky carpet with LVP, and replaced Formica kitchen countertops with Quartz counters we purchased for a steal.Communication, organization, and time management were all key elements to pulling this renovation off and we are here to share how it all worked out!LINKS

Nate and David open the show discussing the neurology of character change, then interview journalist Hanna Seariac, who has spent 2024 investigating the fentanyl crisis in rural Utah. Drug overdose deaths in Utah involving opioids have doubled in the last five years. In the first article of her series, “The rural Utah community at the crossroads of the fentanyl epidemic (https://www.deseret.com/politics/2024/08/10/fentanyl-crisis-in-rural-utah/),” Hanna explores small towns that have seen the devastation of opioid addiction and fentanyl first hand. How did we get here? What can be done to stop this horrifying epidemic from destroying more lives and families? Hanna searched through years of data and interviewed more than 20 people connected to the crisis, including those in recovery, former fentanyl distributers, law enforcement officials and recovery specialists. With the second article in the series, Hanna speaks with five Utahns who have nearly lost everything to fentanyl (https://www.deseret.com/utah/2024/08/10/drug-addiction-recovery-in-utah/) and how they have managed to rebuild their lives and find the strength to not only overcome addiction, but to help others.

On today's episode Stacy and Erin discuss misconceptions about what constitutes a renovation. Hint, to renovate means to make new, and new is new, not 10 or 20 years old y'all. They also call out the half-assers and DIYers on their versions of renovations. Sorry sellers, but changing the sink in your 50 year old bathroom doesn't *quite* constitute a "full renovation". Plus, the ladies share their formula for success when prepping your home for sale. Lastly, they dive into the fallout they're seeing from the new commission laws that are in effect and how it impacts agents, buyers, and deals in the real world.

Analysis of latest developments in Philippine politics.
It’s been three months since the main branch of the Multnomah County Library reopened after being closed for nearly a year for renovations. The improvements include new and updated meeting rooms, a new designated teen space, new gender-inclusive and family restrooms, charging and internet improvements and a variety of safety changes, like lowered shelves, new fire alarms and air quality monitoring equipment. Shelly Jarman, the regional manager of the Central branch, says library staffers are well equipped to help all the community members who come into the library, from unhoused Portlanders who need social services to school kids researching papers and others looking for specific books or periodicals. For many of the people who work in the building, the purpose of the library is to help people, which varies from person to person and day to day. Jarman and library PIO Shawn Cunningham join us to tell us more about how the last few months have gone and what they’re hearing from patrons.
The Minneapolis American Indian Center's two-year renovation is now complete. The redesign reflects both a sense of belonging and history and showcases ways the Minneapolis Indigenous community embraces its future. The happy chatter of excited visitors filled a large rotunda inside the center as executive director Mary LaGarde walked through the crowd to greet guests at a soft opening held last Thursday. “It's just really exciting for all of us — for community and just for everyone who has been involved in the project all along,” said LaGarde. The center's renovation cost $32.5 million and is the result of a decade-long process to bring people back into the center. Located on East Franklin Avenue in south Minneapolis, the center provides social services to the urban Native community and has served as a central gathering place — a place for boxing matches, basketball tournaments, powwows, conferences and more. Over the years, the building showed signs of aging. Water dripping through the roof had become a steady stream inside the center the year before renovation. Through a series of community listening sessions, LaGarde and her staff acknowledged the center was underutilized and needed repairs, so they began planning the organization's future.At the soft opening, elected leaders, civic leaders and community supporters applauded Mary LaGarde for her work in securing the necessary funding for the renovation. The center's board of directors and staff honored LaGarde with a star quilt for her dedication and leadership. Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan was among the elected leaders who honored LaGarde's work. “This long-awaited grand opening sets the bar where it should rightfully and always be, because we are worthy and deserving of capital investments,” said Flanagan. The expansion added 20,000 square feet to the building, for a total of over 66,000 square feet. The organization also expects the building to support 10,000 visitors a year, according to a fact sheet released by a spokesperson for the center.The heart of the community Architect Sam Olbekson said he was a 4-year-old kid living in the neighborhood when he attended the center's first grand opening in 1975. Today, Olbekson serves as chair of the organization's board of directors. As an architect working in collaboration with several partners, he helped to redesign the building to reflect the community's cultural identity. Just before the community gathered in a conference room for the afternoon's program, Olbekson stood inside the center's large, drum-shaped rotunda. He spoke to MPR News about how the rotunda's design speaks to the community's cultural identity. “It's intended purpose is to be the heart of the facility where people gather. It's off the new main entry. Every public space from the building opens up from the space.” He said all the center's public spaces, including the new café, the gymnasium and fitness center, the art gallery and meeting spaces and conference rooms are all visible from the rotunda. The center welcomes visitors through a main entrance through glass doors and a large bank of windows. The rotunda, along with other features, opens up to the street and, according to Olbekson, is intended to assert an urban Native American presence on Franklin Avenue. “We put this as a prominent form on the outside of the building too. This curved space has its expression on the outside,” said Olbekson. “So, people know the space is here, and it's for them, and they're welcome.” There is also an emphasis on activities for youth and elders. The gym, along with a new teen tech center, will be used by youth for recreation and learning. Overlooking the gym is a new dining area for elders who eat lunch together daily at the center. The refurbished gym is dedicated to the memory of the late Frances “Frannie” Fairbanks, the center's former director. A plaque dedicated to Fairbanks is mounted on the wall. ‘A real modern feel to it' Charlie Stately is the owner of Woodland's Crafts and has operated his arts business for more than four decades. He began working for the original owner of the shop at age 21. Stately has now moved into his new location in the renovated center, in a space double the size of his original shop. “I am thinking about if we got more space, more things we can offer, more artists we can include. The gallery is right there. We have a door to the gallery,” said Stately. “People will be saying, ‘I am looking forward for this or that.' That's how we operate, we listen to our customers.” Bruce Savage, one of Stately's long-time vendors, dropped in as Stately's new shop was reopening. Savage said the newly renovated building speaks to the importance of the center to the future of the community — both local and national. “For some reason, we fixate on old architectural structures within Indian Country, but this building has a real modern feel to it,” said Savage. The Minneapolis American Indian Center opens Wednesday to the entire community during the kickoff to Minnesota's American Indian Month.
