Ryan Sudeck is the CEO of Sage Investment Group, where he leads a team focused on addressing the affordable housing crisis through hotel-to-apartment conversions. With a background in mergers and acquisitions at Amazon, Samsung, and Redfin, Ryan has overseen more than 24 successful adaptive reuse projects nationwide. Under his leadership, Sage operates an evergreen fund with over 400 investors, creating high-quality, naturally affordable housing at scale.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here.     Key Takeaways Hotels are valued differently than apartments, creating a 40%+ value lift when converted to residential use. Sage Investment Group has completed 24 hotel-to-apartment conversions across six states, with 100–200 units per property. Units are typically 300-square-foot studios with full kitchens and modern amenities. Strong diligence on entitlements, construction, and lease-up is critical for success. Patience in acquisitions—sometimes two years per deal—is key to meeting return thresholds.     Topics From M&A to Affordable Housing Ryan's career in corporate acquisitions prepared him to lead Sage. Joined as CEO to scale a mission-driven approach to solving the housing shortage. Why Hotel Conversions Work Hotels trade at higher cap rates than apartments, creating built-in arbitrage. Conversion costs average $100K per unit—about half the replacement cost of new builds. Final product: fully renovated studios with fitness centers, coworking, and community amenities. Execution Risks and Lessons Learned Entitlements: converting from commercial to residential requires local approvals. Construction: inspections, sewer scopes, and cutting open walls before purchase to avoid surprises. Lease-up: conservative rent assumptions and regional property managers ensure stabilized occupancy. Capital Stack and Returns Evergreen fund supplies 25–35% of equity alongside LPs. Senior debt from community banks or private debt funds covers 60–75%. Renovation costs run $35K–$45K per unit; recent refis have returned significant equity. Why Not Ground-Up or Value-Add? Ground-up costs 2x more per unit and faces supply delays. Value-add multifamily is overpriced with thin margins post-2021. Conversions provide stronger risk-adjusted returns.

We discuss with Guthrie County Hospital Chief Executive Officer Chris Stipe.

In this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan welcomes Kent Ritter, CEO and founder of Hudson Investing. Kent's path into real estate began after selling his healthcare consulting business, which left him looking for ways to diversify his capital. Starting as a passive investor in multifamily syndications, he eventually transitioned into active investing, experimenting with house flipping and single-family rentals before fully committing to multifamily. In 2019, he launched Hudson Investing, a firm focused on building wealth through multifamily syndications with a strong presence in the Midwest. Jonathan and Kent explore the turning points in Kent's career, including his decision to bring property management in-house. Kent explains how frustration with third-party managers pushed him to create his own team, which improved operational control, reduced turnover costs, and allowed him to align company culture with resident experience. They also discuss renovation strategies, with Kent emphasizing the importance of investing in upgrades residents use every day, such as faucets, thermostats, and cabinet pulls, while balancing affordability and return on investment. The conversation also touches on the advantages of focusing on Midwest markets, where Hudson Investing has found consistent demand and steady fundamentals. Kent highlights the value of building a strong investor community, noting that transparency, education, and shared opportunities foster long-term success. For both passive and active investors, this episode shows how thoughtful leadership, strategic decisions, and multifamily real estate can create reliable, long-term growth. In this episode, you will hear: Kent's transition from healthcare consulting to real estate investing Lessons he gained as a passive investor before becoming an operator The benefits of bringing property management in-house Renovation strategies that balance affordability with meaningful upgrades How reducing turnover drives stronger property performance The value of curb appeal and amenities alongside interior finishes Opportunities found in Midwest multifamily markets The role of community and investor alignment in scaling a portfolio Tax strategies that can improve investment outcomes Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

Building less is without doubt the most cost effective and environmental solution. If you have an old home with good bones, a few strategic and creative moves may be all you need to create something very special. In today's episode, we continue exploring the importance of reusing existing buildings and look at ways to renovate and add value and joy with minimal work. We'll investigate the renovation of a mid-century modern home located in Stafford Heights in subtropical Brisbane. Architect Paul Butterworth, director of Paul Butterworth Architect, shares the inside story on his Stafford Heights Modern project. Today we'll learn about the opportunities and challenges of reusing existing homes and materials. And we have a very interesting conversation about the financial challenges architects and builders face when working on low budget renovations and some real solutions to create better outcomes for everyone.Australian Architects can earn formal CPD hours by listening to these podcasts and completing an online quiz. MORE INFORMATIONFind everything you need on the Renovation Collaborative website. www.renovationcollaborative.com.auPODCAST Key points summary, timestamps and resource linksFREE RESOURCES Transcript edited into clear Q&A.CPD Australian architects can find more information on CPD, and COURSES Eleven easy to read courses demystifying the entire home design and construction process. KEY POINTS SUMMARY1. It's important for architects to educate their clients about the world of opportunity that design and particularly sustainable design offers. And if you're a client of an architect, it will require trust, sometimes bravery and working collaboratively to achieve a unique and environmental home. 2. If an existing house has character and good bones, think very carefully before demolishing it. Older homes contribute to the character we value in our streets and enhance property value, pride and delight in our suburbs. This character is rarely matched in new low budget homes. 3. It's easier to salvage and recycle items from demolition if you are living on site. Builders work within tight time frames and usually don't have the resources or time to stockpile materials and determine how to pass them on to a new owner. 4. An ordinary mid-century home may be cost effectively renovated into something very special through enhancing its existing motifs and design elements. Look for inspiration in the surrounding older homes.Paul shared some very wise advice about architectural practice. 5. Architects must be transparent about their commitment to projects and build trust with clients by itemising non-chargeable time and tasks....

For the past four weeks, we’ve been a series called Transformation, in which we’ve been looking at the ways God wants to change us from the caterpillars He found us as into the butterflies He wants us to be. It is not just a slight adjustment — it’s a radical transformation, a metamorphosis powered by the Holy Spirit. Maybe, the biggest takeaway so far is that the process starts on the inside and works its way to the outside. Nothing is more crucial to deep, lasting change than our thoughts and attitudes, and Romans 12:2 says they need to be renewed. The word renewed means renovated, and a key part of any renovation is demo day. That’s where you rip out the old and remove the stuff that just doesn’t fit the new design. That’s the name of the message and our focus this week: finding out what needs to be demolished from our thoughts and attitudes.

Immaturity is one of the glaring problems facing the church in our country right now. Immaturity. Christian immaturity. Christians acting immature. There are far too many who claim to be Christian, standing in their highchairs with nothing on but a diaper, demanding dessert right here and right now. Christians who have not and are not, allowing the gospel to penetrate their pathologies and transform them into a new person who increasingly thinks, feels, acts, reacts, chooses, and responds the way Jesus would if he were in their shoes and in their situation.

City Manager Brian Johnson joins host Rico Figliolini on Peachtree Corners Life for a practical update on projects shaping the city's next few years. He walks through the newly developed Simpsonwood Park master plan—designed to keep the park passive and natural while adding ADA-friendly access, renovated bathrooms, an updated chapel, selective forestry management, and a modest river overlook. Johnson also explains why the city is outsourcing maintenance of the Peachtree Parkway median so residents finally see consistent, five-day-a-week care despite legacy design constraints.The episode dives into traffic and road fixes at East Jones Bridge and 141 (longer turn lanes, better alignment, and a right-turn slip lane), the ESPLOST renewal on the ballot, and the last phase of the Waterside development—now tracking at roughly half the density initially allowed and focused on equity (for-sale) housing. With candid context on what's been approved or denied since cityhood, plus how extended-stay conversions and the Housing Authority factor in, this conversation is a clear, chart-backed look at how Peachtree Corners balances growth with character.Key takeawaysSimpsonwood Park will remain a passive park—no ballfields, pickleball, mountain biking, or major programming.Plan includes ADA-accessible paved paths, renovated bathrooms (including one closer to the river), resurfaced parking, and a chapel renovation.Selective forestry and wildlife/erosion work will improve long-term health of the park.City is outsourcing median maintenance on Peachtree Parkway; crews will be dedicated five days a week for mowing, edging, litter removal, and plant adjustments.Median design differs from Johns Creek (at-grade vs. raised), which has made upkeep harder; outsourcing addresses consistency and appearance.East Jones Bridge & 141: entrance realignment, longer left-turn stacking, and a right-turn slip lane to move traffic more safely and quickly.No municipal election this cycle for three council seats (no challengers qualified), but ESPLOST renewal is on the county ballot.Waterside final phase moves forward with for-sale (equity) units; overall buildout drops from up to 916 approved units to ~450.Post-2012 housing approvals show a measured approach—some apartment proposals approved, many reduced to townhomes or denied.Extended-stay hotel issues are being addressed, including a supervised conversion to efficiency units via the Housing Authority.Timestamp:(00:03:29) Simpsonwood Park master plan details and community input.(00:09:55) Renovation of chapel, bathrooms, and forestry management plans.(00:15:27) Outsourcing median maintenance on Peachtree Parkway.(00:24:27) Election update and ESPLOST renewal.(00:27:03) Waterside development's final phase and reduced density.(00:30:12) East Jones Bridge road improvements and traffic flow changes.(00:36:37) Housing trends, multifamily approvals, and denials over time.(00:42:41) Extended stay hotel conversions and housing authority oversight.(00:45:47) Balancing growth, community resistance, and long-term city planning.

In today's episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan sits down with Lindsay Davis, CEO of Spartan Invest, to explore the world of turn-key real estate. Lindsay shares her journey from college landlord to building one of the leading turn-key investment companies in the Southeast. Their discussion covers the advantages of passive investing, the realities of property management, and how Spartan's approach makes real estate accessible for investors nationwide. Lindsay began her investing journey as a college student in Alabama, renting rooms to reduce tuition costs. After a rocky start as a landlord and a stint in corporate America, she shifted to flipping houses before finding stability and scale in rental properties. This led her to co-found Spartan Invest, a full-service turn-key provider offering single-family homes in Alabama, Tennessee, and Georgia. For investors hesitant about the headaches of being a landlord, Lindsay explains how Spartan handles property acquisition, renovation, tenant placement, and ongoing management. By focusing on durability, affordability, and transparency, Spartan delivers rental properties designed for long-term performance and reduced maintenance. Jonathan and Lindsay also discuss the profile of today's turn-key investors, from W-2 employees seeking diversification to high earners priced out of their own markets. They cover the importance of choosing landlord-friendly states, understanding pro forma numbers, and staying engaged with your property manager. With entry points averaging around $165,000 and financing options that include competitive rates, Spartan opens the door to investors ready to grow their portfolios without the grind of flipping or self-management. If you've ever wondered how to build a real estate legacy with minimal stress, this episode provides a clear look at how turn-key investing works and why it's an attractive strategy in today's housing market. In this episode, you will hear: Lindsay's first experience as a college landlord and the lessons it provided Spartan's shift from flipping to rental properties Advantages of a one-stop-shop turn-key model Renovation priorities designed for long-term durability Types of investors who benefit most from turn-key investing Key factors to evaluate when choosing property managers The role of consistency and early investing in building wealth Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

Temperature and moisture control in mid-century houses is one of those topics that seems less exciting and relevant until suddenly…it is. And while our mid-century houses have the potential be properly snug without being too sealed up. They also sometimes need a tune up. Plus a number of trendy, seemingly “esthetic” changes to your house - siding, soffit, or roof changes - can create problems that didn't exist before. We'll definitely cover the moisture consequences (yes, that sounds icky) of painting brick and adding vinyl siding.This catchall episode contains a number of lessons in building technology and the broader concept of thermodynamics that have me both reaching back to my graduate school architecture education and sharing some of the most important considerations about moisture control in mid-century homes.In Today's Episode You'll Hear:Why you should be on the lookout for evidence of moisture issues.  How to tell if you have a “warm” or “cold” roof. Who to call for testing and answers related to temperature and moisture control. Get the full show notes with all the trimmings at https://www.midmod-midwest.com/2204Want us to create your mid-century master plan?

There's something magical about walking through a newly renovated home for the first time. The dust has settled, the contractors have packed up their tools, and you're left with spaces that feel both familiar and completely transformed. After months of planning, budgeting, and living through construction chaos, we finally completed our bathroom renovations – and the journey taught us more about decision-making, relationships, and financial priorities than we ever expected. Tune in to hear all about the process, how we navigated as a team, and if it was all worth it in the end.       Our website: www.forbetterandworth.com Get Ericka's book, Naked and Unashamed: 10 Money Conversations Every Couple Must Have Check out our local TV spotlight Connect with us: Instagram: @forbetterandworth YouTube: @forbetterandworth Ericka: @erickayoungofficial Chris: @1cbyoung

“Habit eats willpower for breakfast.” As the apostle Paul says in Romans 7, we do the evil we don't want to do, and we don't do the good we want to do. Pastor and author John Ortberg joins Mark Labberton on Conversing to discuss his latest book Steps: A Guide to Transforming Your Life When Willpower Isn't Enough. Drawing on decades of pastoral ministry, the wisdom of the Twelve Steps, and the profound influence of Dallas Willard, Ortberg explores the limits of willpower, the gift of desperation, and the hope of genuine transformation. With humour, honesty, and depth, he reflects on why human will is insufficient, why churches struggle to embody desperation, and how communities of honesty and grace can become places of real healing. Episode Highlights “Habit eats willpower for breakfast.” “The first step is a deeply despairing step. I can't, and it feels like hell and death—and that opens people up to God.” “If you have a wimpy step one, you will have wimpy steps two through twelve.” “Desperation really is a gift.” “Failure and pain so often become helps in our meeting God.” Helpful Links and Resources Find more from John Ortberg at becomenew.com John Ortberg, Steps: A Guide to Transforming Your Life When Willpower Isn't Enough Dallas Willard, Renovation of the Heart Kent Dunnington, Addiction and Virtue: Beyond the Models of Disease and Choice Stephen R. Haynes, Why Can't Church Be More Like an AA Meeting? About John Ortberg John Ortberg is a pastor, speaker, and bestselling author dedicated to spiritual formation and transformation. He served as senior pastor at Menlo Church from 2003 to 2020, and has written numerous books, including The Life You've Always Wanted and Faith & Doubt. He studied at Wheaton College and Fuller Theological Seminary and has been a trustee at Fuller. His most recent book, Steps: A Guide to Transforming Your Life When Willpower Isn't Enough, reframes the Twelve Steps as a wisdom tradition for all seeking deeper life with God. Show Notes The Nature of Willpower and Habit John Ortberg reflects on Dallas Willard's framework for understanding persons. “Habit eats willpower for breakfast.” The human will is essential, but terrifically weak when confronting sin, ego, or deep habits. The Gift of Desperation and the Twelve Steps First step: “We admitted we were powerless.” “The first step is a deeply despairing step. I can't, and it feels like hell and death—and that opens people up to God.” Desperation becomes a gateway to spiritual power. “If you have a wimpy step one, you will have wimpy steps two through twelve.” Comparing church and AA Ortberg: “Desperation really is a gift.” The church often resists being a community of desperation. Honesty is not the same as desperation; both are needed for transformation. Why AA's structure works: fellowship plus program. “Failure and pain so often become helps in our meeting God.” Storytelling and Transformation Testimonies and stories at the center of AA's power. Why narrative makes meaning for human life. “Story is the essential unit of meaning for personhood.” Spiritual Practices and Confession Step 5: “Confess to God, ourselves, and one other person the exact nature of our wrongs.” John recalls confessing to a close friend: “John, I love you more right now than I've ever loved you before.” The liberating power of being fully known and loved. Addiction, Sin, and Disease The debate: is addiction a disease, a habitus, or sin? Disease language reduces shame but risks erasing agency. The overlap of sin, brokenness, and habit. The challenge of shame, judgment, and superiority in church contexts. Fellowship and Program “If you have program but not fellowship, you're dead. If you have fellowship but not program, there is no hope.” AA as a model for church life: communal honesty plus concrete practices. The gospel calls for grace-filled action, not passivity. Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment magazine and Fuller Seminary.

Whistleblower Reveals Dem Senator Adam Schiff Personally Approved The Leaking Of Classified Info To Frame Trump! Plus, POTUS Demands Powell “Must Now” Lower Rates, Mulls SUING Fed Chair Over Corrupt Renovation Of Federal Reserve

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! When Michelle McClane Woods and her husband moved into a fixer-upper in 2015, they thought they were building a future—one project, one renovation at a time. But as the walls came down and the paint went up, something unseen stirred in the shadows. It wasn't just creaky floorboards or bad wiring. No, this felt personal. As if someone—some thing—was watching their every move, critiquing every change, and trying to reclaim what once was. Was it the spirit of the former owner? And if so… what did she want? What began as a dream home quickly became a battleground between the living and the dead. Michelle opens up about life inside a house that didn't want to be changed—and how she found herself investigating the very spirit trying to push her out.

https://teachhoops.com/ Turning a losing basketball program into a winning one is a monumental task that begins far from the scoreboard. The initial, most critical phase involves a complete cultural renovation, tearing down the existing apathy and replacing it with a foundation of accountability, discipline, and unwavering effort. This starts with establishing a clear, non-negotiable vision and standard of excellence for every aspect of the program, from practice intensity and locker room conduct to academic performance. The coach must tirelessly champion this new identity, securing buy-in from a core group of players who will serve as the first believers. This foundational period is less about complex schemes and more about instilling a resilient mindset and an undeniable work ethic, proving to the team that their value is first defined by their character and commitment, not the previous season's record. Once this cultural bedrock is set, the focus can pivot to tangible on-court improvement and building momentum. The process is methodical, prioritizing fundamental skill development and installing simple, well-executed offensive and defensive systems that the team can master. Early success is not measured in championships, but in small, attainable victories: winning a possession, executing a play perfectly, meeting a practice goal, or out-hustling an opponent for a loose ball. By consistently celebrating this growth, a fragile confidence begins to blossom into genuine belief. This newfound swagger, built upon the foundation of hard work and discipline, is the catalyst that transforms hard-fought efforts into close wins, and eventually, close wins into a sustainable, winning program.
