In this episode of The Relentless Growth Podcast, co-hosts Chase Calhoun (Little Rock, AR) and Jack Maher (Spring Hill, TN) dive into one of the most powerful trends shaping the U.S. today: migration out of high-cost states like California into opportunity-rich places like Arkansas and Tennessee.

Chase shares the real story behind a new Arkansas law that allows single-family homes with ADUs by right—and how his 43-lot development is pushing through city red tape to bring more affordable housing to market. He also breaks down what he’s seeing firsthand in migration patterns: families leaving California for Arkansas in record numbers, driven by cost-of-living advantages and a better quality of life.

Jack adds perspective from Tennessee, where corporate relocations like Nissan and In-N-Out have accelerated population growth, bringing not just wealthier homeowners but also skilled workers and middle-class families seeking stability and opportunity. Together, they unpack how COVID accelerated these shifts, why cost-of-living parity across states is shocking to many, and how moving can dramatically change financial futures.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• The impact of Arkansas’s new ADU law on real estate development

• Why Californians are moving to Arkansas and Tennessee in large numbers

• How cost-of-living and wage comparisons change the migration equation

• Real stories of families who took pay cuts but gained quality of life

• Why now may be the best time to invest in Arkansas and Tennessee real estate
