Dan Breslin: So I’m sure people who will have read the description, and the bullet points from our conversation are looking forward to hearing about all of the large scale. Single family development deals and the multifamily assets. But before we dive into that, you have recently, just in 2024, I believe September it may have been released. The book you wrote optimize your life, and I know that a lot of our audience is about family and about freedom and living life to the fullest. So would you mind kind of taking us through a little bit of the journey of putting that book together, and maybe what the top line message is.

Shane Carter: Yeah, yeah, thanks, Dan, I appreciate that. So this is a book that just just so we’re clear about it upfront. I didn’t write to be a lead magnet, or to be a funnel into a course, or to be anything other than frankly, a cathartic process of getting my thoughts out and and wanting to share with others all that I’ve learned in the, you know, 27 years of my professional career and my personal growth journey. And so I’ve been a preferred, you know, a personal growth junkie from the very beginning, and and I’ve I’ve read and absorbed just about every book you can. And so this is sort of my recounting of the main lessons that I’ve learned on that journey. And so, you know, it’s obviously starts with mindset and how we quite literally create the world around us via our mindset on a daily basis. And if you do that consistently and long enough, you. You craft your own life in a very meaningful way, and then the rest of the book also goes into what I believe to be a critical balance between mind, body, and spirit, and I think that’s a piece that a lot of entrepreneurs, miss. There’s a lot of influencers out there right now. I’m not going to name names, but you know their sole focus is business growth. Grow your business, eat, sleep, live, and die, and breathe it, and you know, just grow for the sake of growth, and I offer many counterpoints to that that I don’t think are very healthy for most of us to try to engage in. And the the main one is relationships. It doesn’t. Doesn’t matter how much money you have. If you don’t have good relationships with your significant, other with your friends and family, with your children, etc…

Navigating Real Estate Development: Insights from Brandon Cobb

 

Guest: Brandon Cobb is a seasoned real estate developer with a keen eye for opportunities and a strategic approach to navigating the market. With a background in both new construction and land development, Brandon brings valuable insights into the evolving landscape of real estate development.

He emphasizes the shift towards focusing on entitlement of land for lower risk and higher returns, while also exploring opportunities in developing and selling pads with pre-contracted buyers.

 

 

    

Dan Breslin: Brandon Cobb, welcome back to the REI Diamond Show. How are you doing today?

Brandon Cobb: Hey, I’m back on the show, so I’m doing fantastic. Thanks for having me.

Dan: Nice. In preparation for today’s episode, I’ll reference that buyers can go back and check out your previous episode. The title was Nashville, Tennessee Real Estate Development, and that was in June of 2022. Rather than have you do the origination story and how you got to the place that you’re at today, that’s all on that original episode. But what we were talking about at the time, you were very excited about new construction. You guys had some projects going, and I believe we were in the papering engineering design phase of a land development deal. I don’t remember how many lots it was 10, 20. It was not like a three-lot development, but you were essentially going to put the curbs in here. For the listeners, this is like the Nashville, Tennessee market, Tennessee market in general. You were talking about putting the curbs in and then selling off those pads, I think to individual builders or maybe the national builders. But maybe you could pick up where we left off last time and give us a report on maybe that early or those early development deals with the curbs and the build-ready pad sites went, Brandon.
