Housing affordability continues to be one of the biggest challenges facing many communities today.
In this episode of The Yacht Captain Investor Podcast, I sat down with Brian Koons to discuss how ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) are creating new opportunities for developers, investors, and homeowners in San Diego.
Brian's journey is unique.
He went from serving as a Marine Corps musician and drill instructor to becoming a full-time real estate developer specializing in ADUs and housing solutions.
One of the most valuable lessons from our conversation was this:
Just because a property can support more units doesn't automatically make it the best development.
The goal should be creating long-term value.
For residents.
For investors.
And for the surrounding community.
We discuss:
• ADU investing
• Development fundamentals
• Housing trends
• Permitting challenges
• Cash flow opportunities
• Long-term hold strategies
If you're interested in real estate development or housing solutions, this is a conversation worth listening to.
🎙 shares his thoughts and experiences, offering valuable insights.
