Because unfortunately, E.HD is a very real thing for a lot of places throughout the country.

And most of the guests here today has had some experience with it, some a lot more than others, and a lot less for the fortunate guests here.

But before we get into it, I want to say the Back 40 podcast is brought to you by land.com, the leading online real estate
