What is Kevin Edlin’s net worth?
Kevin is thought to be worth $400K at the time of writing. With a Grammy nomination in the books, he has made enough money to go onto Home Town and pay for significant renovation work.
As an audio and recording engineer at Vanderbilt’s Blair School of Music and the Schermerhorn Symphony Center and Nashville Symphony Orchestra, he is mainly self-employed and gets most of his income from making music.
Having been in the industry for over 24 years, Kevin has built up a reputation for his skills, which was only increased by his appearance on the HGTV show.
He is also now making money through Airbnb, as guests can stay at The Edlin House seen on Home Town. The place is considered an “artist’s retreat” and is spoken highly of by Kevin.

What happened to Kevin’s Laurel home?
Kevin turned to Ben and Erin Napier regarding a home which has been part of his family for years. With fond memories of growing up and hanging with his family there, keeping it close was really important to him.
Initially run-down, the space – situated on the outskirts of Laurel – was a “knock out of the park” once the couple had got to work on the place. Called ‘The Edlin House’, Kevin thinks it’s the perfect place for a good jam session.
As stated on the Laurel Mercantile website, he said:
I like many different types of modern styles, but always felt a more rural and rustic character would be best for this particular place. I really love lots of dark earth-tone colors and various shades of gray. Erin and the design team took those ideas and made the whole place better than it’s ever been.
The cosy cabin in the woods went from dull and dark, to a bright and warm place! With enough space for four guests, anyone can actually stay at the residency themselves for $125 a per night, as seen on Airbnb.
And finally, here’s a clip four of four. Let me know if I missed anything!
