In this insightful episode of SF Commercial Property Conversations with Bruce Bean, we sit down with Tim Austin, founder of Properties for All, whose real estate journey spans from snowy Michigan to sunny Southern California. Tim shares how his early start in property investment at just 19 years old laid the groundwork for a diverse and resilient career in real estate, including residential sales, mortgage lending, and short-term vacation rentals.

Tim talks candidly about the evolution of housing markets over the decades, the unique challenges of affordability in California, and how his boutique approach bridges the gap for first-time buyers through creative rent-to-own programs. He also unpacks the impact of housing regulations on short-term rentals and what it means for investors and communities alike.
