Brandon Cobb of HBG Capital explains the intricate process of land entitlement and development in the modern real estate market. He describes how his company identifies unimproved land, secures government approvals, and installs horizontal infrastructure like roads and utilities before selling finished lots to large national homebuilders. This specialized "middleman" role allows developers to mitigate risk by contracting for land only when they are certain of its development potential. The discussion highlights why new housing supply is difficult to create, noting that the process often takes years due to bureaucratic hurdles and environmental regulations. Ultimately, Cobb expresses optimism for 2026, predicting a market turnaround driven by lowering interest rates and a massive demand for entry-level affordable housing. Through this lens, Brandon provides a detailed look at the behind-the-scenes mechanics that sustain the residential real estate economy.
