The Asset Class That's Too Small For Wall Street - Katie Neason | Our Family Invests

Redevelopment sits in a strange gap. It's too small for institutional developers and too complex for passive investors, which is exactly why Katie Neason has built a career inside it. Katie is a fourth generation Bryan, Texas native who left corporate banking after missing her son's first steps, and turned that decision into a decade of flipping houses, then over ten years redeveloping her own downtown.In this episode, Katie breaks down her real first deal, a townhome project that nearly died over a five foot zoning gap, and how one blunt comment to the city ended up saving the whole thing. She also covers financing redevelopment deals, working with local governments, and why she calls this asset class "one investment, two returns."HIGHLIGHTS: Why deals between $1M and $5M are too small for institutions, too big for passive investors How to get past the gatekeeper and into a real meeting with your city planner The questions that reveal if a city actually supports your project How to de-risk your first redevelopment deal Why local investors build healthier communities than outside developers Connect with us!
