In this episode of Money Moves, Matty A. sits down with Morgan Keim, real estate investor and founder of Ocean Ridge Capital, to explore the rising potential of affordable housing as both an impact and profit-driven real estate strategy.
Morgan explains how affordable housing differs from Section 8, what AMI (Area Median Income) means, and how to leverage underutilized assets like motels and multifamily properties into sustainable, cash-flowing communities.
This episode uncovers how government incentives, tax credits, and public-private partnerships can make affordable housing projects not only feasible but highly lucrative—especially in 2025 as policy and demographic trends converge.
