340. This 34-Year Old Built $500M of Real Estate - Here's How
Most people think real estate is all about luxury condos and chasing the biggest margins. But what if you could build a portfolio that actually makes a difference—while still making a solid return?
In this episode, I sit down with Evan Holladay, founder of Holladay Ventures, who has already developed over $500 million in affordable and workforce housing across the Southeast. His mission? To create 100,000+ units of housing that teachers, nurses, and service workers can actually afford.
We cover:
How Evan got started in real estate after nearly becoming a doctor
The first deals that gave him confidence (and the ones that almost fell apart)
The biggest lesson he’s learned about picking partners and capital sources
Behind the scenes of Stonebridge Lofts—a 311-unit Nashville project backed by Amazon’s $2B housing fund
Why affordable housing isn’t what you think (and why families making up to $80K qualify in Nashville)
How to structure deals that balance mission and margin without sacrificing returns
Whether you’re a developer, investor, or just curious about how real estate can be a force for good, this conversation will change how you think about building wealth and building communities.
