Build Your Affordable #prefab #tinyhouse home in 4 Hours with Robotics!
Go green and catch the affordable housing wave! Build a factory built 1 bed 1 bath home in 8 hours!
Join me as I chat with Joe Basel CEO of Practical Revolution, a tiny home builder, and village developer.
A new movement is dawning out of the success and observed shortcomings of the Housing First approach. He is designing communities that lift people up toward a life of hope, purpose, and happiness.
Practical Revolution brings vulnerable individuals who are coming thru and out of serious trauma into the embrace of wraparound support services and healing housing. They also help facilitate intentional healthy community and relationships. All for a fraction of the cost of current permanent supportive housing, in a rapidly scalable platform.
Radical Affordability
These homes are radically affordable. We are budgeting for rents as low as $300/month all in non-subsidized for an SRO unit. The current developments are coming online for between $50,000 and $70,000 per door all in even after purchasing land and full infrastructure build-out.
With sponsored land, cooperative utility companies, and helpful planning and zoning authorities, they can do even better. At this cost, they are able to quickly scale to a meaningful number of homes in a short time frame. Hundreds or even thousands of units built in months, not decades.

How to Become RentAble to 4.5 Million Untapped STR Guests
Join me as I chat with the founder of becomingrentable.com, Lorraine Woodward, who will share how her company is turning the short-term rental market on its head.
Lorraine left a successful long-term career in the corporate and nonprofit world to create the solution she and families like hers needed.
You see Lorraine is living with MS and has 2 children with muscular dystrophy, MD. So it was a challenge, and let's be honest, a stress on her husband, for them to find the right place to stay when traveling.
She bought a second home and made it wheelchair friendly. Then when they weren't using it they put it out as a short-term rental. She had people drive from Texas to NC because there is such a need.
That was the spark.
She is going to be the Expedia Group/VRBO for special needs accommodation.
And she is growing like gang busters.
The growth of Becoming rentABLE in just 2 years has been staggering, during this time Lorraine’s teams' accomplishments include:
Having over 1200 accessible short-term, rental properties on their listing map, which makes them have more accessible short-term, rental listings than Air BnB and VRBO combined.
Listings in all 50 states in over 685 cities across the United States.
In August, International Hospitality Media Limited out of the UK listed Lorraine Woodward and Becoming rentABLE in the top 20 influencers across travel, hospitality, and real estate.
The team has built the first and only fully accessible short-term rental property for individuals with mobility, vision, hearing, and/or Autism/IDD in the United States.
Becoming rentABLE is 1 of 12 startups selected for Expedia Group's new Open World Accelerator program. Each startup has created technology to improve accessibility for underserved travelers.
Come hear her story AND how you can stand out as a vacation home provider for those who have been ignored until Lorraine came along that is.
What do you need to stand out and how can her company help you serve this part of the vacationing public profitably?

Multifamily ADUs top floor, bottom floor and garage ADUs
Join us as we chat with Cameron Crockett of UltraUnit a company that specializes in creating ADUs in multifamily dwellings, specifically in Long Beach CA.
He will take us through the process from visioning the ADU space layout and feel, to minimizing cost and disturbance to the existing structure and tenants and maximizing property value, to getting permits to completion. He will share how he also minimizes the time for permitting.
He has created ADUs on top floors of buildings, in parking lots, on the side of existing buildings, and his favorite: converting garages into living spaces.
He will give us guidance on what makes an ADU expensive and how to circumvent the top 5 killer mistakes investors make when creating an ADU.
Why did I choose him as a guest? Because he is helping us with our ADU after false starts with another architect who it turns out was not familiar enough with the process or the city.
Even if you are in a different city, his approach and dos and don'ts are universal, and worth the investment of time to learn.

Learn about Symbihom & Garage ADU kit with Rebecca Moller
3/15/2023
Meet Rebecca Moller, founder and creator of SYmbiHom, the garage ADU kit!
Cities need to meet RHNA mandates. Institutions and corporations need to ensure that workforce housing is available to attract and retain young talent and to grow. Homeownership is unaffordable for the average earner.
An aging population needs to age in place with income to assist them.
In California, one in three homeowners and renters are cost-burdened, spending > 50% of their income on housing. 3.5 million market rate and affordable housing units are needed in California alone. New multi-family construction cannot meet demand. Workers cannot afford to live near work and half of our aging population needs an income subsidy.
Increased land cost, land use laws, permitting, development processes, and rising construction costs have slowed the rate at which traditional new residential density can be built. In short, demand outweighs supply—most notably in metro areas where a lack of affordable housing has forced workers far away from their employers.
The Solution: convert existing garages into living spaces. and have an easy-to-implement kit to do it. That's SYmbiHom! An efficient, green housing solution and fast track to creating workforce housing in the neighborhoods they serve.
Rebecca is passionate about creating housing and in scaling this solution from the 80 kits that have been sold in 2022 to 4,000 kits in 2026.

Reverse 1031 Exchanges With Bill Exeter, CEO of Exeter Companies
You want to upgrade your property and get better cash flow BUT you don’t want to sell your current building before finding your up-leg property . This is the constant dilemma of what comes first.
Why you want to find the property first:
· Your departing property is easy to sell but the new one is not as easy to find and buy.
· You don’t want to buy under the pressure of the 45-day time clock ticking on the identification period.
· You don’t want to pick something just because time ran out.
· Sellers don’t want contingent offers even in the commercial area.
Sometimes the great deal shows up when you least expect it and you have to move FAST to get it – no time to market and sell the old property. How do you buy that one first and still qualify for a 1031 exchange?
Enter the Reverse 1031 Exchange!
And there are 2 ways to do them. Join us as we discuss the 2 ways to BUY NOW and SELL Later using the Reverse Exchange, unless you have a ton of cash, you will be glad to know that we will also discuss how to finance the whole thing.
Bill Exeter has been in the financial services industry for over 40 years. He has administered, in excess of, 125,000 1031 Exchange transactions, is one of the founding members of the 1031 Exchange industry’s trade association, the Federation of Exchange Accommodators, and has administered thousands of Self-Directed IRAs and Individual 401(k) Plans and Custody/Investment Accounts during his extensive career.

Rent to Retire in Knoxville TN - Dirty Bike Rider, Mike Weatherford
10/24/2022
Rent to Retire Knoxville, TN, Mike Weatherford Story.
Is Knoxville a Good Place to invest? Listen to Mike’s story in why he moved to Knoxville, TN.
Have you ever dreamed of getting out of the rat race and golfing all day, being by the beach, or even hiking in the mountains? Or maybe a combo of all 3?
Years ago my parents were wanting to snow-bird from Ottawa Canada to CA and loved the golf course life and the weather in the Palm Springs desert area. Quiet laid back, museums, hiking, it had it all.
Knowing that it would be hard to save for a home here and that things usually get more expensive, not less, I suggested to my dad that we go in on a home there. Coincidently I had a client who was moving from their current desert home to a newly built one in the same complex. I went down to check it out and thought it had everything they wanted. That was January 2001. The condo cost $87,000 my parents and I both chipped in $5k to cover the 10% down and closing costs. The community is the Desert Princess Country Club.
We were able to rent it out seasonally, though not a lot at first, then in 2005 and 2006 buying second homes became popular, vacation rentals by owner (that became VRBO) were invented and that part of the real estate investing market became much easier.
So, we were able to rent it out and USE it – the best of both worlds!
Rent to retire R2R™
Let tenants, whether short-term or long-term, pay your bill so you can retire the way you want WHERE you want.
We still own that property and will have it paid off soon.
Now listen in as we learn from my guests where they bought, how they financed it, and how they manage their rent to retire properties.
My first guest is Mike Weatherford, a former pro dirt bike racer, now a medical professional who is married with 2 children, has owned 3 different homes, and took the leap this year in buying his Retirement home.

PadSplit Affordable Housing Update Frank Furman
9/20/2022
PadSplit is an affordable housing model, where individuals rent a room in a house while the other rooms are rented by unrelated people.
We met with Frank Furman of Padsplit almost 3 years ago! I couldn’t believe it when I looked it up. October 2019.
Here is that interview where he explains how they started, the nuts and bolts of how it works, the downside to strangers living together, and if it is profitable.
For those of you who missed that call: PadSplit is an affordable housing model, where individuals rent a room in a house while the other rooms are rented by unrelated people. Mostly single people, mostly who are new to town, in transition waiting for housing, or on a short job stay/assignment. Some need to build or rebuild credit in order to become viable long-term renters, but usually NOT students. Everything is automated and run through PadSplit.
At the time they had 300 units under management in the Atlanta area. At the time, I asked about Indy, CA, etc they were just starting to work on Houston.
Frank now joins us to tell us what has developed 2.75 years later.
They now have 4,600 units on their platform.
They are now in the following cities and markets:
Houston, Dallas, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, New Orleans, Richmond, Indianapolis, and Las Vegas (before they were just in Atlanta)
...LA we're not quite there yet. Hopefully in the next year
...anyway, lots more to share and plenty of new ways for investors to take part.

Zennihome - ADU in 3 months 30% less that stick build - CEO Bob Worsley
8/7/2022
| | Dear Fellow Investor,
As you probably are aware of by now, I am a strong advocate for affordable housing.
Turning ugly into pretty has been part of my mortgage production goal since 1995 when I was originating AND underwriting the FHA 203k (rehab) loan.
More recently working with HomeNow an agency for homeless that I am opening some of my units to in Indiana.
The last few years, but more so the last 2 years, I have been looking for the most affordable and easiest fastest way to get more housing units on the market. I have shared some of those conversations with you. and here is the newest chapter!
This week, I am chatting with Bob Worsley of Zennihome.
First of all they ship all over the world. Most factory built (modular/prefab) companies I interviewed are not shipping outside of, at most, 2 or 3 states.
Many of these companies had their prototype but are not yet in production or don't own the factory to produce their homes. Both major blocks to getting our goal met. Zennihome has the factories and is already building AND their architect , co-founder, has built 100's of spec homes.
Bob is doing it in a responsible way. He takes shuttered properties that are an eyesore and are possibly a danger to the environment and community that surrounds them. He repurposes them, cleans them up, gives them a new life and gives the community something to be proud of and jobs.
Like their factory in Page, Arizona, once a Navajo Power Generating Station that used to be a coal plant. shuttered with many lost jobs. Now has employs workers in prefab modular housing, a growing industry. This is exactly what the Opportunity Zone program of the 2017 tax bill was designed to do.
Not only are they building these beautiful homes but they are taking it to another level: 100 unit apartment/mixed use building in Mesa AZ.
I have invited Bob to educate us on his product, process of building and shipping from AZ to wherever, timeframes as well as cost.
Some of us in My Cash Flow Academy Community have the land ready to go, we just need the best solution.
Yes he is a real estate investor in the truest sense. He owns 100,000 acres and 1MILLION acres in mineral rights.
Buckle Up! This will be a fast paced and enlightening take on modular homes.

Multifamily Market Update 2022 - Pat Swanson with Colliers International
Dear Fellow Investor,
We sat down with Pat Swanson of Colliers International here in California. We asked a lot of questions about the multifamily real estate market!
Have you been wondering whether we will finally see a buyers' market in multi-family housing? Have you been waiting on the sidelines to buy an apartment building only see prices keep going up up up?
Is the party finally over for sellers? Are prices finally coming down?
I thought it would be a good time to check in with Pat Swanson VP at Colliers International whose team covers SoCal Multifamily real estate, mainly Orange County and Los Angeles counties.
His team has closed 44 transactions in the last 12 months and he as always, will come with hard data on market trends and where the market is shifting.
With interest rates 1% higher than last summer and cap rates compressing this should be creating softness or even slight price reductions which tends to be a downhill self-fulfilling event, BUT to balance that out the moratorium has been lifted and Additional Dwelling Units (ADU’s) are coming to market there might just be a little more upside before the peak...
Is he seeing a lot of ADU’s in multifamily, is that helping the cash flow and values as we would expect? Is the new state wide rent control affecting values?
Will he agree? Does the Data Agree?
Pat has a database of over 100,000 multi-family buyers and sellers. Listen to this podcast as shares the pulse of investor sentiment very quickly.

7/24/2022
JESSICA PERRONE - teaching teens to be money smart
Here is the newest installment of my Women in Investing (WIIN) Series of investor chats.
As you know our main goal for our group is to educate and elevate women everywhere to better financial health and wealth. If you don't know, check out the website www.womenininvesting.com
I have a fabulous lady for you to meet!
Jessica Perrone 16 year Wall Street Veteran, Founder of Her Financial IQ and Host of “Her Investing Coffee Talk” Show, empowers women & teens of all backgrounds through money & investing education.
Have you ever said to yourself:
in front of the children?
It’s time! We as women must educate young women, as young as possible (in the womb), to be not only comfortable but confident with their money and investing.
Yeah but Athena... I don't know an ETF from an NFT how I am going to help my daughter?
This is the only way to have a secure and independent future. The only way to be comfortable with the way money works, is to understand it. Financial disasters usually come from lack of knowledge and rarely from the once in a lifetime world disasters.
So how do we teach women, and young women specially, to take control of their financial destiny? Through education.
Jessica Perrone creator of Her Financial IQ (HerFinIQ.com) series of classes to take teens, their mother and grandmothers through a series of financial literacy classes that take you from knowing nothing, getting the basics down to ETF NFTs and how to build a portfolio that fits you as the investor you have determined you are.
I am excited to have Jessica join me to share her wisdom as an investor and mentor, because as you know I am living proof that you can create and build wealth even if you are starting with nothing. I had to do it the hard way in the 1990s, now there are so many resources, probably too many for young people today. So now guidance is needed more than ever.
Yes your daughter (and you) can be stronger financially, If you just learn how money works!

Divorce After 50 with Janice Green, Esq
7/24/2022
Janice Green, Esq. a family law attorney author, and Professor with a career spanning more than 44 years, discusses the unique challenges of getting divorced after 50.
I bring you this guest because I am getting more and more calls about the big D and whether the spouse who is calling me can afford to and qualify to keep the house.
It reminds me a lot of during and after the 9/11 Tragedy, people faced a world that was changing (we thought was ending for about 2 weeks) and made life changes like moves and divorces, and marriages.
Of course, one of the first things that come to mind: Can I keep the family home? But there are so many more issues that are the same or even more important.
Will I still get his/her spousal social security
Will I get part of the pension he/she gets
Will I get spousal support? What if he/she quits the job and doesn't have the income to pay me?
How much cash will I get and is it enough?
Will I have the same health insurance?
What if he/she remarries, do I still get their pension/social security or out in the cold?
I bought that, shouldn't I get to keep it?
What is community property and what is mine?
Do we even need a lawyer, he/she says we don't?
...and Yes, how can I pay them out of the house and keep the house?
The big difference is that after the age of 50 you have more assets and are not able to recover as fast from the loss of assets or income as when you were young.
Come learn the top 5 deadly mistakes you might be making BEFORE you start the process.
Janice has seen it all, so bring your questions... even if you are just asking for a friend.
This will be a fast-paced but deep conversation on a topic none of us wants to have but sometimes we are pushed into it.
... And you will LOVE Janice's sense of humor.
