Helter Shelter is a real estate podcast about the highs, the lows, and the in-betweens most people don’t talk about.

Buying, selling, building wealth, starting over…real estate isn’t a highlight reel. It’s a series of decisions made under pressure, uncertainty, and imperfect information. This show lives in that tension.

Each episode strips away the slogans and looks at what actually shapes outcomes: the risks worth taking, the trade-offs that matter, and the moments where clarity beats confidence. You’ll hear from buyers, sellers, investors, and industry professionals who’ve navigated real consequences… not just theory.

This isn’t about selling a dream.
It’s about understanding what’s possible when you stop outsourcing your thinking.

Because the market isn’t something that happens to you, it’s something you learn to move through…deliberately, informed, and on your own terms.

If you’re tired of noise, clichés, and one-size-fits-all advice, this is a place for better questions, clearer thinking, and a more grounded way forward.

    The A.D.U Advantage - Tyler Smith & Clinton Edwards
    Jun 3 2026

    Additional Dwelling Units (ADUs) are quietly becoming one of the most powerful tools in modern real estate—unlocking hidden value in properties, increasing income potential, and reshaping how homeowners and investors think about land they already own.

    In this episode of Helter Shelter, We break down why ADUs represent a major advantage in today’s market, how they’re being used to solve housing challenges, and what most property owners are still missing about what their land is truly capable of.

    We’re joined by Broker of Record for Homesmiths Real Estate Ltd., Brokerage; Tyler Smith and Clinton Edwards, a seasoned expert with over 20 years of experience in the design and construction industry. Alongside his own real estate development projects, Clinton has contributed to the design and execution of hundreds of real estate investment builds—from simple accessory dwelling units to large-scale commercial and multi-residential developments.

    Clinton was recently a finalist in the Design Excellence category for the Lindsay District Chamber of Commerce and is currently working on an innovative affordable housing project aimed at reducing the cost of starter homes to below $365,000 per detached dwelling.

    This conversation unpacks the real opportunity behind ADUs—and why they may be one of the most under-utilized advantages in real estate today.
