ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What if becoming a developer isn’t about having all the answers but having the courage to take the next step?
In Episode #67, Raphael Collazo and Kristi Kandel get real about how they went from first-time investors and nervous beginners to building commercial projects and community-focused developments.
They share the fear behind their first deals, lessons from finding lenders and partners, the power of starting small, and why local developers have a major advantage: they know their communities.
But development doesn’t have to be a solo game.
That’s why Raphael and Kristi created LRED to bring local developers, investors, lenders, and industry professionals into the same room to share ideas, solve problems, build relationships, and create opportunities together.
You don’t need millions to start. You need the right people, the right knowledge, and the courage to take the next step.
Join the LRED community and get in the room with people who are actually building.
