S3E10: Building a Backyard Home - How Excavation sets up your DADU for success
Discover how a DADU (Detached Accessory Dwelling Unit) can transform your property into a powerful income‑producing asset, support aging parents, or create flexible multigenerational living. In this episode, we talk with the owners of FTS Excavation about the essential first steps in preparing land for a DADU build.
You’ll learn how these excavation professionals evaluate a backyard for the best DADU placement, manage site prep, handle drainage and grading, navigate permitting, and connect utilities safely and efficiently. We also break down how proper groundwork protects your investment, reduces construction delays, and sets the stage for long‑term rental income or family housing options.
If you’re a homeowner, investor, or anyone exploring DADUs in Pierce County or the greater PNW, this episode gives you a clear, practical roadmap for turning one property into two or three livable units — starting with the land beneath your feet.

S3E8: From Renting To Roots: Your Homeownership Game Plan
Thinking about buying a home but not sure where to start? In this quick episode, I break down the real steps that make homeownership possible — from improving your credit and tackling debt to exploring down‑payment programs, off‑market opportunities, and getting expert guidance.
You’ll also hear why owning a home can be a powerful move: building generational wealth, creating a safe space for pets or kids, and putting down roots. And yes — owning isn’t for everyone, and that’s okay.
If you’re curious about what’s possible, this episode gives you clarity, confidence, and a path forward.
