We’re grateful you’re here.

Multigenerational living is no longer a niche idea. It’s becoming the new normal for Gen X families. In fact, nearly 1 in 5 homes sold recently were multigenerational, driven by shared expenses, aging parents, and adult children returning home.

In this episode of Reality Bites, Dan and Angel are joined by Charleston-based lender Todd Triolo to break down how to finance a multigenerational home the right way. We move past theory and talk through real transactions Todd has closed, including how families are structuring loans, handling gift funds, and avoiding costly mistakes.

We cover:

• Who actually needs to be on the mortgage loan vs who should be on title
• 
  
• How gift money from parents or family members really works
• 
  
• Why starting the financing conversation early can save time, stress, and money
• 
  
• Planning ahead so today’s solution doesn’t become tomorrow’s problem

📩 Reach out early if multigenerational living is on your radar. The right structure matters.

Thinking about moving to Charleston, South Carolina (or anywhere in the Lowcountry) and worried about HOAs? Dan + Angel break down what out-of-state buyers actually need to know about HOA fees, HOA rules, CC&Rs, meeting minutes, reserves, transfer fees, and special assessments, plus why a bigger community can sometimes mean more amenities for less money.

What We Cover in This Episode

• Why HOAs are so common in South Carolina, especially in newer planned communities.
• The #1 mistake buyers make: not reviewing meeting minutes (and what minutes can reveal about fee increases + future projects)
• Understanding HOA reserves and why low reserves can lead to special assessments
• CC&Rs (Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions): rules that can affect your lifestyle (fences, exterior changes, yard decor, etc.)
• Fees explained: what HOA dues typically cover (amenities, landscaping/common areas, maintenance, sometimes exterior items—especially condos/townhomes)
• The real-world reality of HOA approvals: why “simple” exterior updates can take time
• Pro tip: why some larger communities can have lower HOA fees because costs are spread across more homeowners
