Most people are looking at Opportunity Zones from an investor point of view. But what about real estate developers? How do they view the program? In this podcast, real estate developer Dennis Hoth from TransEquity Development joins attorney Brett Siglin from the law firm of Jennings Strouss as they discuss the challenges developers face in general, and what they look for in Opportunity Zone properties in particular.
Listen to “Opportunity Zones Insights from a Real Estate Developer’s Point of View” on Spreaker.
Development is a specialized area where it takes a number of vital cogs to be successful in the process. It is all based on vision, timing, and cooperation with the local governments and municipalities – plus a little luck. But as “quarterbacks” who coordinate every aspect of the process, smart developers must look at Opportunity Zone projects from a different angle. Most traditional developers want to build, stabilize, sell, and repeat the process. But with an Opportunity Zone project, you’re in it for the long haul. That’s why it’s good to speak with developers such as Mr. Hoth who understand the long-term hold mentality required in the QOZ Marketplace. By listening to this podcast, you’ll learn how a developer determines what they’re going to build on a particular piece of land, (multifamily, retail, etc.) as well as understand the entire process and team partners that make a real estate development project successful. Plus, you don’t want to miss the number one issue that kills the development process, explained in detail on the show!
