This week, return guest Nate Hood is back on the podcast, joined by his friend Steve Windels, for an episode full of funny landlording stories and plenty of laughs. Nate is a St. Paul landlord, stand-up comedian, and former Planning Commissioner for the City of St. Paul, giving him a unique perspective on real estate, city government, and the challenges of owning rental property in the capital city.

We also get Nate to share his honest thoughts on some of St. Paul’s most talked-about projects, including the proposed Summit Avenue reconstruction and the I-94 land bridge. As both a landlord and taxpayer—and someone who has served as a Planning Commissioner—Nate offers a perspective you don’t often hear. Whether you’re interested in local politics, real estate investing, or just want to hear some entertaining landlord stories, this episode has a little bit of everything.
