EP 208: Making Homeownership Attainable: The Power of Manufactured Homes with Brian Hurd (Part 1)

Exit Strategies Radio Show

Are you finding it impossible to break into the housing market?

This month on the Exit Strategies Radio Show, we're dedicated to a single, powerful topic: attainable housing, including the game-changing world of modular housing.

In this episode, we're cutting through the noise and tackling the housing affordability crisis head-on. Join us as Corwyn sits down with Brian Hurd, Senior Vice President at Cardinal Financial. Brian leads Cardinal’s national builder division, working with builders and developers across all 50 states to create lending solutions that make homeownership a reality for more families. From manufactured and modular homes to innovative lending programs, Brian explains why attainable housing is the missing link in closing America’s 3.2 million housing unit shortfall.

This is Part 1 of our conversation with Brian, where we unpack the opportunities, challenges, and myths around manufactured housing—and why it may just be the future of generational wealth building.

Key Takeaways:

• 0:00 Passion behind attainable housing – Why solving the housing crisis takes vision, commitment, and a willingness to change perceptions.

• 0:19 The 3.2 million unit shortfall – What the numbers really say about America’s housing needs.

• 14:00 Financing made possible – Breaking down construction loans, credit requirements, and programs that open doors for more families.

• 16:01 The developer’s advantage – Why manufactured communities can deliver homes in months instead of years.
