episode The Real Estate Game Nobody Talks About: Land, Politics & Development cover

Description

Most people think real estate development starts with construction. It doesn't. It starts with finding the right land, understanding local politics, navigating entitlement risk, and identifying opportunities before the rest of the market catches on. In this episode of The Kansas City Market Pulse, Logan Freeman sits down with Joey Locker and Garrett Stiles of Southern View Development to discuss what really happens behind the scenes of successful development projects. Joey and Garrett share insights on: • Land acquisition strategies • Entitlements and zoning approvals • Political and jurisdictional risk • Working with national homebuilders • Self-storage site selection • Development trends across the Southeast • Building multiple businesses around the development ecosystem • The future of real estate development Whether you're a developer, investor, broker, builder, or entrepreneur, this conversation offers a look into the side of development most people never see. About the Guests: Joey Locker is the Founder and President of Southern View Development and developer of Middle Tennessee's first luxury motorcoach resort. Garrett Stiles leads Land Acquisitions and Strategic Partnerships for Southern View Development and also leads The Entitlement Group, helping developers navigate entitlement and political risk.
