Zain Mahmood -Micro Homes

Season 5 - Episode 5: I have never been in real estate. My
background is in engineering, and I had managed very large
multinationals industrial companies. A lot of my time was spent
on building materials. However, very interestingly, through a
friend, I was introduced to our founder-CEO, whose name is Aaron
Levy. He lives in Austin, Texas, and he's an architect-designer.
He's always had this idea of coming up with something for what's
known as a middle market. It's basically people who are renting
today, but not ready to buy a house. However, they want some
independent living, such as a little bit of a yard and patio, and
do not want to be attached to somebody else top or bottom. This
is considered a middle housing concept and he's always been
interested in it. I think during COVID we saw the level of
depression and loneliness going up because a lot of people living
in buildings had no community connections. And that's what kind
of drove us.
