Problems, Problems, Problems

Victor Menasce
About this episode

On today’s show we’re talking about how this business looks easy from the outside. I had dinner with an investor last night and they kept marvelling at how easy we made these huge projects look from the outside. Well, I’m here to tell you that nothing could be further from the truth.

Today’s show is all about problems. Problems, problems, problems. They seem to be everywhere. Let’s be clear. This is not whining or moaning and groaning. Although to some, it may sound like whining from a distance.

Real Estate development projects are conceptually simple. But it’s the thousands of details and regulations spanning everything from design, to construction, to capital to entitlements and tax. Each of these steps represents an opportunity for a problem. On today’s show I’m going to just touch on a few.
