    The Build-to-Rent Blueprint: Workforce Housing, Community Impact & Long-Term Value

    Teachers. First responders. Veterans. Healthcare professionals. Young families. Retirees. Increasingly, residents across all stages of life are choosing communities that offer the space, privacy, and neighborhood feel of a single-family home without the responsibilities of ownership. In this episode of Real Estate Rewind, host Tyson Schuetze sits down with Chris Ferry of Ellavoz Impact Capital alongside Auben Realty team members Jocelyn and Taylor to discuss how the build-to-rent model is reshaping workforce housing and creating communities designed for long-term success. The conversation explores Cedar Creek, a 45-home neighborhood in Jacksonville that combines the flexibility of renting with the comfort and experience traditionally associated with homeownership. Chris shares how Ellavoz approaches development with a "double bottom line"—delivering strong investor returns while creating meaningful community impact. Together, the group discusses the partnerships, operational strategies, and resident-focused experiences that make build-to-rent communities successful. From military-approved housing programs and local business partnerships to long-term resident engagement, the episode highlights what it takes to create neighborhoods where residents can truly put down roots. The discussion also explores the Children's Literacy Foundation, an initiative supported by Ellavoz that invests in literacy and educational opportunities in the communities they serve, demonstrating how housing can be part of a broader strategy for lasting community impact. Whether you're an investor, developer, operator, or housing advocate, this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at how purpose-driven real estate can create both financial returns and stronger communities.

    The Rise of Build-for-Rent | The Future of Housing | Episode 2

    What happens when the traditional single-family rental model no longer scales? In Episode 2 of Real Estate Rewind, Tyson Schuetze explores the rise of Build-for-Rent communities and why they’ve become one of the fastest-growing sectors in residential real estate. The conversation dives into how the market evolved from scattered-site rental homes to professionally managed neighborhoods designed specifically for renters — and why that shift matters for both residents and investors. Using Willow at Sierra Vista outside Houston as a real-world example, the episode explores:• Why institutional investors moved toward Build-for-Rent• The operational advantages of density and standardization• What today’s renters are actually looking for• How amenities and community design impact resident experience• Why many investors are seeking more passive ownership structures• The growing conversation around housing affordability and supply• Proposed legislation that could reshape the future of rental housing From younger professionals to downsizing retirees, Build-for-Rent communities are attracting residents who want the space and feel of a home with the simplicity and professionalism of managed living. This episode is a conversation about more than investing. It’s about how housing is changing, what people value in a community, and where residential real estate may be heading next.

    From Red Bull Van to Real Estate Platform | A Founder's Story | Real Estate Rewind Ep. 1

    Before the first investment property, there’s always a story. In the first episode of Real Estate Rewind, Tyson Schuetze shares the unconventional path that led him into real estate investing—from growing up in Kentucky with bookstore-owner parents, to journalism, New York City and Rolling Stone magazine, a stint driving a Red Bull van, and eventually building a real estate platform across nine markets. What started as curiosity turned into late nights studying deals, attending investor events, learning distressed assets, and purchasing his first investment property in Syracuse. Tyson then made the move to Augusta, Georgia during the rise and fallout of the 2008 housing crisis—drawn to the opportunity he saw in secondary markets and the long-term potential of the Southeast. That journey eventually became Auben: a real estate investment and property management company that has since expanded into nine markets. This episode explores: real estate investing and the investor mindsetlocal vs national real estate market trendsentrepreneurship and business growthdistressed assets and investment strategythe 2008 housing crash and secondary marketsbuilding Auben from the ground upwhy storytelling matters in real estateReal Estate Rewind focuses less on generic national headlines and more on the real stories, decisions, and local market dynamics shaping real estate investing today.
