Glad you like it! Appreciate the feedback 😃

Great information! And, finally, something in my area! Thanks!

This is awesome! One of my favorite episodes so far!

I don't believe one floor plan option for elderly and wheelchair accessible is a good idea because I was lucky with my parent's house to make it wheelchair accessible so my parents could age at home and my mother could die at home. Their house now my house is only 50% larger with same number of rooms including bathrooms and bathrooms. How would you resell a one floor plan house?

There are lots of older Americans who would love to buy a one floor wheelchair accessible home. I think you underestimate your market

Very cool!

That is super cool Adrienne. A factor fighting against affordability in every community in every municipality- Real Estate is a ‘price taker’ marketplace, and I have not met anyone willing to leave profit on the table for their neighbour at scale (lots and lots of one off scenarios). That said, look into Heartstone Homes- they’re in Ohio right now and selling Manufactured Homes at wholesale because of their business model. Incredible humans running that company. They’ve been under the radar but seeing they need to be more public facing going forward.

Excellent!!!!!! Wishing you the BEST!!!!!!

These vacant lots have rules. They only get sold, for one dollar to someone who lives on that block. It is to prevent real estate speculations and vultures from further taking advantage of economically depressed neighborhoods. It mist be owned. That's why these do not get built at a fast rate . TIFF areas , look up what those mean. That's why the grants are available. Zoning and funding.

Best wishes on your thesis

Thanks for watching

Yeah where's the affordable at? I'll say nothing is affordable anymore for most and only getting worse

The difference of 150k is forgiven it only works if they’re able to build & keep the value up if you build & lower the value in the area it won’t pan out.

@@hoosierproud7718 just don't blame the builders too much. Blame the city, city codes, cost of permits, state and local taxes, corporations that buy empty homes when they have no business in real estate, infrastructure costs from plumbing to electric to roads...it all adds up to the final cost. Huge and complicated problem.

Agree!

Let's not forget our Canadian friends.

If I had a lot of land and money, I would have these built for low income people. Plant fruit trees, a community garden and hen houses. Then we could raise some of our own food....

Greed would takeover. Watch how quick they would jack the price up from 240k-390k to 600k-750k

Not at 500k.

Agreed!

I agree! Thanks for watching John 🙌🏼

I wouldn't call it holistic. They're not planning neighborhoods. They just build and offer financing for houses.

@@freddybell8328 Are you kidding? Having found a way to vertically manage the WHOLE process, they've also cut through all the normal NIMBY & institutional red tape, to offer a full spectrum of services & can still make a small profit. You just don't see this in the "BUY" arena. Yes, in the "FOR RENT" industry, where there are formulas for tax abatements, local/county/state/federal grants, loans, etc. But OWNERSHIP is the key. Inherent is helping with down-payment costs, offering LOW-Interest mortgages, acquiring the lot in a "free market," building out of a factory that can build modular units at higher & higher volumes, training labor in saving time/$$$, sourcing materials, appliances, fixtures, etc., at discount/economies of scale ... and creating careers & jobs for those in the area. And delivering a "turn key" dwelling, as well. And for a final build cost of 260/sq.ft., is astounding in a city, after all subsidies. It's about as HOLISTIC as you can get in this day & age.

100%

With a $400.000 house? What community is he building up? The people who he’s talking about he’s hiring can’t even afford to buy a $400,000 house that they are helping build.

The difference between the homes and the neighborhood is drastic. How long will these homes look like people are proud to live in them?

thank you for the feedback!

I like that one best too

Me too!

Yes! Future forward thinking. Great young generation coming up. I won't be around here many more years but just thinking about all the up and coming for others gives me such hope and joy at what they will be able to do. Great interview!

how i work in construction managment of modular pre fab homes. these pre fabs are make in a warehouse by robotsmand only needs a team of 5 unskilled workers to assemble. instead of 20 skilled trade workers. putting trade workers out of work.

Yes

Any time!

It'd be interesting to see how affordable prefab row homes can be. Too bad a lot of cities aren't zoned for row homes.

@@freddybell8328 I know there was a study done by Habitat for Humanity, and the response (to get through the NIMBY resistance) was to develop "Townhouse"-type groupings of homes. They appear to be far more substantial as a perception of value/income. And the 2nd benefit is that there is a shared cost of walls, with hopefully room for a small yard, or shared, communal area in the back. British blocks were built this way in Notting Hill. A small area for a back yard/garden & then a communal piece of shared land with walkway, seating, planting, etc.

@@barryvangerbig7290 Wdym by townhouse? Wider in size?

My pleasure! Thanks for watching

thank you! I'm always on the lookout, glad you enjoyed the video

Any time!

Thank you! Appreciate that, glad you enjoyed it

thank you! appreciate that

The next step is to get homeowners to take care of their homes and keep them from turning to slums.

They have one in the works, excited to see it

I agree

Indeed, I love seeing how Kerry ventures out. Although we are looking for a prefab or modular home in the Southern California region. We are waiting for a 3 bedroom and an office space layout. It is not even for kids, but we love to host guests while having two separate spaces for our remote work. I have a job where I am in meetings all day, which would drive my partner up the wall. Because then you are recreating an open office space again.🤣We decided to wait with prefab, because we love the design and usability of the newer models and companies. Nevertheless, they are still in the testing stage with the smaller models.

My pleasure, thanks for watching 🙌🏼

Thanks for sharing this story. Future of America

lol seriously…this is like the tiny house trend where it was just nicer trailers for 100k

In a big city? It is actually... sad I know.

😮😮😮that's fkn insane

500k is actually the new normal It seems. But the fact that these are quickly made super fast yet they price them outrageous an way overpriced for most. But that the whole point. To keep ppl in debt. The bank needs these ppl to get loans add interest etc same with them builders to get loans to build. The interest is where the bank makes its money. Your money my money isn’t Being stored in a little vault.

I live in Chicago and many homes that have either a basement, third floor or both are typically either single floor condos (3-4 units) or single family in more expensive neighborhoods. I sense they figured out with the first ~20 homes that this is the most economical way for them to build/scale and keep price down given their single family focus. Also, garages are usually detached and at the rear of the property with alley access; that's probably also not done for cost reasons, but easily something a buyer could add on later.

@@makeyourmark00 Two floors probably is the optimum, especially when no car is allowed for. I've been to Chicago, but years ago. I'm in New Zealand and have designed a 3 floor townhouse, influenced by various Japanese designs. We've allowed for a hole in the house for the car, but not quite the size of a single garage. This means that the front door can be accessed from the car space rather than needing a door at the front of the house. It also provides good shelter for the door area. On the ground floor there is room at the back for a bedroom and en-suite, then up the stairs which are situated at the side of the car area and have a middle landing (2 flights per floor). Middle floor has a compact living, dining, kitchen and scullery. Top floor is main bedroom, walk-in wardrobe, bathroom, laundry, office and a compact sauna. All crammed into 160 sqm. Because of the seizmic zone, there does have to be a lot of engineering and deeper foundations. Structure is timber with a coloured steel exterior. Total estimated build cost in USD, is 475K. Not exactly cheap.

I HATE those front facing garages but apart from that, they are a waste of otherwise usable space. In urban environments, street parking is quite common.

@@eattherich9215 Well, they are not exactly pretty, but certainly functional. Even though I grew up in England, I don't like leaving cars on the street. I'm now in NZ and cars get a lot of UV damage over time. We have a build spot with limited space, so the only real option is to go three floors and put the car at the bottom floor. In one sense it is wasted space, but if car storage is important to you, then it's not a waste. I've actually opted for a partial middle ground because the car space is not quite long enough to fit a car inside and shut a garage door. Basically it's a house with a hole in it, that most of the car can drive into and the house entry door is in the same hole. Quite a few Japanese towhouses (garage houses) have this type of design and this is what we are modelling it on. It's nice to have a spot to drive off the road in the rain too, with shopping. The only negatives I can think of is cleaning the car with a hose, would have to be done away from the house and possible fire risk from an EV. There seems to be a few houses lately that have had EV fires in garages and the whole house burned down. Probably rare but something I'm considering. Three floor houses sometime sell better with a small elevator. I'm missing it out because to me it's 1 sqm of wasted space per floor. You might say, skip the car port and add the elevator? Our design has not yet been drafted, so it could change. I've looked at a lot of pros and cons to having the car space contained inside the house footprint. I feel that it suits us to have it, but it is definitely a lot of livable space lost. The problem we have with a two floor option is that we have a limit of about 9m of depth space. The footprint will therefore be somthing like 6.5 wide and 8.5 deep, with a 1.5m street setback.

Hey Billy! Wow new top spot, thats awesome. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it 🙌🏼 🍕
