The Roots Podcast

In this episode of the Roots Podcast, Max Moore and Tyler Lingle sit down with real estate investor and affordable housing advocate Aaron Laster. From vending machines in his dad’s barber shop to seller-financed deals and tax sale bidding wars, Aaron’s journey is packed with hustle, creativity, and long-term vision. He opens up about wholesaling 11 deals in college, transitioning into affordable housing development, and his mission to create 1,000 doors — with at least half focused on community impact.
