A heated drawer for towels might seem like a tiny luxury, until you hear how details like that became the spark for a life built on creativity, family, and freedom. We sit down with Adam and Hope Monaco to unpack how a restless rule‑breaker found his lane in custom homebuilding, why European streets and cruise ship suites changed the way he designs, and how a Victorian mansion in Seguin became a living, breathing business that brings people together.Adam shares candid lessons from decades of building: the joy of turning a vacant lot into a legacy, the hard truth about pricing a hand‑built product, and the emotional toll of projects when boundaries aren’t clear. Hope steps in with the operational backbone, scoping, sequencing, and protecting margin, so creativity can thrive without crushing the bottom line. Together, they reveal a blueprint for entrepreneurs who want both craftsmanship and cash flow.We explore The Abbott House story, from spotting the right for‑sale sign to opening a venue that hosts weddings, comedy nights, haunted mansion tours, and bachelorette sleepovers. The property isn’t just beautiful; it’s a financial engine that funds upkeep, supports retirement flexibility, and creates jobs for their daughters. We also zoom out to the Texas market: rapid growth, shifting interest rates, and the real estate tailwinds that helped younger buyers “collapse time” on wealth building. For rental beach house vibes in Port Aransas, Texas click here to make your reservations: Tinyurl.com/monacobeach For the beautiful event venue space in Seguin, Texas click here: theabbotthouseevents.comFor your next home builders project book time with Adam Monaco at Black & White Homes LLC  [email protected] you care about design that lasts, businesses that serve people, and family enterprises that outlive their founders, this conversation delivers practical wisdom and fresh inspiration.
