Hey, I’m Evan
I’m a real estate developer who’s spent the last decade building affordable housing projects across the U.S. — over 2,600 units and $694M+ in development so far.
But more than that, I’m deeply committed to helping more impact-driven professionals break into affordable housing the right way.
I started this newsletter because I saw too many smart real estate professionals stuck on the sidelines — not because they didn’t care, but because the process felt opaque, complex, and hard to break into without the right guidance.
Here, I share what I’m learning in real time: what’s actually working in my projects, how deals are structured, where funding comes from, and how to move from interest to action in affordable development.
If you care about building projects that are profitable and meaningful, you’re in the right place.
