## Resource

What if your home could move with you? This week I'm talking to Eli Rouimi, founder of Plad Homes — a company that's completely rethinking how homes are designed, built, and owned. We get into modular and prefab housing, and why it might be one of the most realistic solutions to the affordability crisis that nobody is talking about enough. We dig into what a modular home actually is (and what people get wrong about them), whether you could someday own your home but lease the land and take it with you when you move, and what zoning laws are doing to slow all of this down. Eli also talks about real projects where modular construction changed everything, where he thinks housing is headed in 20 to 30 years, and what teens interested in real estate or entrepreneurship should start learning now. 🎙️ Realtopia | Episode 7 | Season 2: The Blueprint for Tomorrow
