Washington. He’s known for his groundbreaking project in southwest Atlanta, South Park Cottages in College Park, which is billed as the first Black-developed micro-community in the United States.Booker’s vision as a developer is to democratize home ownership. Micro-communities make that possible, with each of the 29 homes at South Park Cottages being accessible and affordable at a price point of $180K-$230K per property.Listen in as Booker discusses the many challenges of developing a micro-community in southwest Atlanta, how the three acres of South Park Cottages maximizes homeowners’ lifestyle, and his plans for future micro-home developments in more urban locations.Highlights1) Tap into the power of collaborative economics by tying a good vision to a good strategic plan. Collaboration often fails to last because one of these two pillars are missing: an inspiring dream and consistent, purposeful action to bring that dream to fruition.2) Developers should focus not only on the properties they sell, but on the quality of the neighborhood as well. Prioritizing quality of life maximizes longevity of value, which by extension maximizes the potential of homeowners to build generational wealth.3) Micro-homes are not for everybody, but households of various sizes may find living within 600 sq ft as ideal compared to paying average rent in an urban area. Oftentimes, rent in an urban area is twice as much as a mortgage in the same area.How to find himWebsite - www.southparkcottages.comInstagram - @mr_booker_tJoin the waitlist for my out of state investing coaching program here Shop our merch- https://blackrealestatedialogue.com/collections/allAccess all of our resources on our website- https://www.blackrealestatedialogue.com/linksAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

He is the founder of Rule Enterprises, which specializes in strategic investing using real estate development as their primary driver.Brandon is passionate about creating wealth in communities of color and addressing the affordable housing crisis. His first real estate development didn’t end up being as profitable as he had hoped, however he kept going and to date has done $100 million in real estate development.Listen in as Brandon discusses his mission to help as many people as possible transform their lives through affordable housing. He shares how to take advantage of the low-income housing tax rate and other valuable ways you can work with your local government to fund real estate development projects.Highlights1) Developers are the last to get paid on a project. From the financial perspective, prepare to play the long game and don’t underestimate the countless lessons you’ll learn along the way, not only around business and project management but around mindset and resilience as well.2) While it’s important to stay resilient in spite of the obstacles, it’s almost equally important to know when to give up. A mentor once told Brandon: “One of the best deals you’ll ever do is the one you didn’t.”3) Real estate is a relationship business, especially commercial real estate. Always try to find a way to get into the same room with decision makers in your city, and engage in mutually beneficial conversations where you demonstrate the value you can offer them.How to find himWebsite - https://brandonrule.com/ Instagram - @b_ruleJoin the waitlist for my out of state investing coaching program here Shop our merch- https://blackrealestatedialogue.com/collections/allAccess all of our resources on our website- https://www.blackrealestatedialogue.com/linksAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Kopa is a fractional real estate investing platform that allows investors to own pieces of real estate from anywhere. Trevor was inspired to create Kopa in 2011 as a result of his experience as a university professor in rural Brazil—amid a population sorely in need of economic help. $2.5 billion worth of experience later, Trevor realized he could democratize the real estate investment world, leading to the founding of the Kopa platform.Listen in as Trevor discusses what separates Kopa from other players in the private equity space, including how the platform takes advantage of blockchain to skyrocket both scalability and accessibility.Highlights1) It doesn’t matter who owns the property—the capital markets will dictate what you build. In order to make the capital market more democratic and participatory, Trevor essentially wants to turn real estate into a dividend stock available for investment by anyone, for as low as $5.2) When deciding to invest in a real estate fund, look first at its structure (comingled or individual assets) and the fund’s terms, which should include a list of fees and expenses. Second, consider the potential of the property (and the ability of the property owner) to make money.3) Investing in a property comes with a lot of management, and you alone have to find the property at its lowest value and do the work that it takes to maximize your profit. On the other hand, Kopa’s assets are already performing, not to mention you can diversify your capital across multiple properties instead of putting everything into a single property.How to find himWebsite - https://www.kopamarket.io/Instagram - @kopa.marketShop our merch- https://blackrealestatedialogue.com/collections/allAccess all of our resources on our website- https://www.blackrealestatedialogue.com/linksAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
