Plumbing is one of the biggest silent killers of cash flow for apartment and rental property owners. In this episode of the Own More Doors Podcast, Juan Huizar sits down with Jordan Barile of Primo Plumbing to break down exactly how to prevent catastrophic leaks, backed-up sewers, rotted subfloors, and $1,000+ surprise water bills.

You’ll learn what to inspect before a tenant moves in, what to check during turnovers, how often you should be walking your units, and why running toilets and old angle stops quietly destroy your NOI. Jordan also shares real stories from the field, what a proper plumbing inspection should include, and why being proactive can save you tens of thousands over the life of a building.

If you own rental property (or plan to), this is a must-watch to protect your income, your tenants, and your sanity.

AI isn’t just writing emails anymore—it’s underwriting deals, building BOV models, verifying comps, and helping investors, brokers, and property owners make faster and smarter decisions in commercial real estate.

In this episode, Juan Huizar sits down with Jake Heller from AI for CRE Collective to demonstrate how tools like Claude, Shortcut AI, and Index AI can automate 80% of the time-consuming work analysts used to do manually—data entry, rent roll extraction, comp gathering, Excel modeling, and deal analysis.

How do you turn a tired duplex on a 9,000 sq ft lot into a 51-unit apartment building in South LA? And how can regular multifamily owners use the same laws to create serious wealth?

In this episode, Juan Huizar sits down with housing advocate, developer, and investor Andrew Slocum to break down:

• How California’s latest ADU rules (as of 2025) let you add up to 8 detached ADUs on multifamily
• How an 8-unit building can become 18 units using detached ADUs + garage/parking conversions
• Real per-unit construction costs Andrew is seeing today ($125k–$200k per ADU)
• The South LA ED1 project that’s going from a dilapidated duplex to 51 units of 100% affordable housing
• Why “entitle and flip the paper” is burning a lot of developers — and what to do instead
• Simple ways to see if your lot has ADU potential before you ever call the city

If you own multifamily in Long Beach, South LA, or anywhere in California and you’re wondering, “Is building ADUs worth it?” this conversation will give you the numbers, the laws, and the strategy straight from someone doing 100+ projects on the ground.
