Adding Solar Farms to Your Development featuring Ed Mathews

In this episode of The Property Profits Podcast, Dave Dubeau chats with experienced real estate investor and former tech executive Ed Mathews. Based in Connecticut, Ed shares how his real estate investing journey evolved from flipping houses to owning multifamily properties—and now, creatively leveraging land through solar farm ground leases.

Ed explains how zoning restrictions and conservation requirements on a 58-acre parcel led him to an unexpected but profitable opportunity: installing a solar farm on otherwise unusable land. He dives into how this long-term, triple-net lease offers stable mailbox money with minimal overhead, and why it’s become a smart addition to his investment strategy.

This conversation is packed with insight for investors looking for alternative cash-flow strategies, especially in challenging market conditions. If you’ve ever wondered how to squeeze more value from your land or how renewable energy can be part of your portfolio, this episode is a must-listen.
