How to Build Infill Housing in California w/ Jared Jones

Jared Jones went from flipping houses to a nine-figure infill development company in California.Jared Jones runs Middle Housing Partners, where he builds and scales micro-infill housing across California using laws most developers don't fully understand yet, ADUs, SB9, and SB1123, the Starter Home Act. He started in real estate in 2005 doing loans, moved into flipping through the crash, and then in 2020 California's zoning changes opened the door to adding units on existing lots. That shift turned into a nine-figure company with hundreds of infill units in the pipeline.In this conversation, Jared and Jack cover how statewide zoning stripped city-by-city control over housing, why big institutional builders can't touch the small-project opportunity the way independent developers can, and the build-to-rent model that lets Jared pull nearly all his invested cash back out of a project. Jared also gets candid about the mistake that cost him early on, delegating decisions instead of learning the laws himself, and why he believes the affordability crisis is really a crisis of permission.If you've written off California as too expensive or too regulated to invest in, this episode reframes exactly why the opposite might be true right now.Key topics:Micro-infill housing explained: ADUs, SB9, and SB1123How statewide zoning changed California's housing rulesThe build-to-rent model, BRRRR on steroidsWhy vertical integration became necessary at scaleThe delegate-don't-abdicate lessonThe goal of 10,000 units a yearGuest bio:Jared Jones is the founder of Middle Housing Partners, a vertically integrated development company building micro-infill housing across California.
