Listen "Katie Kim - Driving Community Transformation Through Intentional Real Estate"
Episode Synopsis
Key Takeaways Tap into local government programs and economic incentives when approaching complex developments. Get creative with deal structures—there's no one-size-fits-all in real estate development. Build alignment in values between partners, investors, and community stakeholders before moving forward. Focus on legacy-driven development, not just profit—what you build should serve communities for generations.
