  Have you noticed buyer/tenants are looking for something a little different than in past years? Demographics are changing and smart investors are changing to accommodate them.

  This month we're bringing you boots-on-the-ground builders/developers who are implementing new designs to meet the needs of a changing population. Analysts tell us that 10,000 Boomers are retiring every day; Millennials want easy living and high tech and the Sandwich Generation is dealing with both ends of the spectrum. Our Panel of Developers will explore:

  · What is the Sandwich Generation

  · What's multi-generational design look like

  · How you can rehab existing housing for these changes

  · Some obstacles in building for the current market

  · Resources for additional information

  It may seem that "affordable housing" is a topic unrelated to the small investor. That's an illusion! There are many projects going on in NWA that can affect you. This month we're giving you an overview from someone who knows her stuff.

  Most of our landlords operate in the "affordable" market and there are a lot of changes impacting them and their assets. Join us to hear about some of them such as:

  • What is the Affordable Market
  • Creative funding: public-private partnerships
  • Land acquisition in NWA
  • Local policy issues
  • Habitat House Build & how you can help

  Cindy Acree is Executive Director for Benton County Habitat for Humanity, Bentonville City Councilwoman, NWACC instructor and former Colorado House Legislator. She works effectively to make affordable and safe housing a reality for families in NWA. Cindy is energetic, motivated, productive - and on the side of the small investor/builder/developer.

  We've all heard that Rule for Success: Make a Plan and Work the Plan. This is the Phase where you Make The Plan! It carries the greatest risk - but also the greatest opportunity for a smooth, profitable, on-time project.

  We'll outline the steps from zoning to feasibility to design up to budget and timeline. Everything you need to know from a guy who has done it before and brings a unique set of skills, connections and maybe even funding! Mark will lay out the steps and answer your questions. Together, we'll explore:

  · How to get started and who you need on your team

  · Zoning vs building codes

  · What goes into a Feasibility Study

  · Surveyor vs Engineer

  · Builder vs Architect
