Franklin D. Roosevelt

Our Big Idea

Having an Attainable Home, at the end of the day, is an idea. An idea that everyone has the right and the chance to work hard, live comfortably and have prosperity throughout their life, and we’re happy to say that it’s still possible.

Founder of Attainable Home, Erin is an elder millennial with a background in finance, entrepreneurship, and real estate investing. He has built and sold six and seven-figure businesses in the commercial energy efficiency space, owned many homes, and has been invested in residential and commercial real estate starting in 2009.

Erin has been through it all – laid off, unemployed, not being able to pay the bills while building a startup in the energy-efficient lighting field, growing ShineRetrofits.com to rank on the Inc. 5000 list as one of America’s fastest-growing companies, doing Eat Pray Love in Bali, studying the monetary system, traveled the world, and more.

Becoming financially free in his early 30’s, he has had the opportunity to explore and learn many things at a younger age, both professional and personal. He now wants to bring his passion for a true balance between business, investing, social upward mobility, happiness, and peace of mind to others through Attainable Home.

We Believe

  • Real estate ownership is the widest available & most beneficial way to build wealth and prosperity.
  • We need to have an understanding of our crazy financial and monetary system that we live, so that we can make the best decisions for ourselves and families.
  • Sustainability, renewable energy, and energy efficient building components are not only good for the environment, but are great financial investments due to lower ownership costs.
  • That everyone, no matter what circumstances or upbringing, has a right to prosperity, wealth, and a stable and happy household.

Our first renovation project in Cape Coral, FL completed December 2020. The house was designed with enough efficiency and solar to power the entire house and one electric car, which saves near $2,500 per year in electricity and gas.

A 1984 built 1836 sq ft 3 bed 2 bath with a perfectly south-facing large flat roof for solar. The home is completely engineered to be fully net-zero, with efficiency and solar electric powering both the house and one electric car 100%. The project met both goals of

1) Having the cost come in the average median home price and

2) Being able to rent out for more than it costs to own, which helps secure long-term financial stability. 

The total project cost was $284,000 and we continue to do more projects.
