In this episode, Jared Jones joins us from California to share how he navigates one of the most expensive real estate markets in North America by specializing in "micro-infill" and "middle housing" developments. Jared explains how he identifies underutilized lots and transforms them into profitable, multi-unit assets, proving that you don't need massive acreage to create significant value.
