Evan Holladay is the founder and host of Monumental, a top-rated podcast where he interviews leaders, entrepreneurs, and visionaries making a massive change in the world. Also, he is the President and CEO at Holladay Ventures where they work with city leaders, impact-driven partners and communities to build multi-family affordable workforce housing deals in the Southeast US.
He is an advocate for affordable housing and was recently featured in the book CRA at Forty: Views on the Present and Future of Community Reinvestment. Currently, Evan has sourced and developed over $237 million, helping create 1300+ units of new affordable housing.
Evan’s mentorship started from his parents and during his college when he realized that he hated science and chemistry, and building housing what his passion is. That’s when he became part of a new million mixed-use development construction on the campus. He was the first one hired at the development and really learned the nuts and bolts of real estate and real estate development work. That’s where the real estate journey takes place for Evan.
Later in college, they’ve started a modular housing development company that not just builds generational wealth but also makes an impact for people that make all types of incomes. It is a company that provides affordable and workforce housing for families in need.
After college, they do their best to grow the company and find partners in the real estate world with the experience and learn the knowledge from them.
During this interview, Evan gives lots of insights on how to step up and make an impact during these hard times. For him, it is important to have clarity on your goals. Figure out where your current condition is & align it where you want to go and what your vision is.
This is the time to double down and find the opportunity that suits your passion and turn it into a business. There are massive opportunities in real estate, especially on the rental side. Therefore, do the preparation ahead of time. Roadmap your destination and get a mentor. Take that learning and put it into action. This is the best time to plant your seeds to capital, education, building relationships with your network, brokers, and investors in order to take advantage of it later.
Lastly, never forget to think of the downside of your business and mitigate the risks ahead of time. Plan for, and be prepared for the downturns!
