We've talked about the financing. We've talked about the investments. Now, we're talking about the build.

If you tuned in for our past discussions on attainable housing, you know that manufactured and modular homes are key to closing the housing gap. But how can the average person leverage these innovations to build wealth right in their backyard?

This week on Exit Strategies Radio Show, we go straight to the source. Host Corwyn J. Melette sits down with Harrison Langley, CEO and visionary for MDLR Brands, to introduce a perspective previously unexamined on the show: the direct, technology-driven path to affordable ADU construction. Harrison breaks down his company’s use of fiberglass Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), a specialized technology that moves construction from weeks to days, radically reducing labor costs and waste. This is the new blueprint for micro-level, high-quality, and highly attainable building—especially for the owner-builder.

This episode shifts the focus from lending and institutional investment to the literal nuts and bolts of the product. Harrison provides tangible costs, timelines, and the construction methods that empower individuals to take control of the building process and overcome the affordability crisis themselves.

Key Takeaways:

• 6:04 Eliminating Construction Waste: Factory building greatly reduces material waste, making the construction process cleaner, faster, and more economical.

• 8:21 Modular is the Highest Standard: Understand why modular construction holds the top rating for factory-built systems at the state level, ensuring you get quality and durability.

• 14:26 The Price is Right: ADU Affordability: Harrison reveals how a DIY-managed ADU project, using a kit under $24,000 for the structure, can result in all-in costs (excluding land) between $55,000 - $70,000.

• 18:37 Financing for the Small Project: Discover why specialized national lenders are finally making construction financing accessible for these smaller, affordable ADU loans.

• 22:30 Build Your Structure in Days: Learn how panelized systems are so fast that a structure can be erected in just 2-3 days, dramatically slashing expensive labor time.
