Navigating the Housing Market with Scott Hardy
Today on the Kanawha Valley Hustlers Podcast, I talk with Scott Hardy, a real estate investor. I ask Scott what attracts people to the real estate industry. He shares that it offers action and the chance to improve lives by providing homes. I emphasize the importance of creating safe spaces for families.
Scott describes the rental business as volatile, influenced by property type and area. He highlights the value of building relationships with tenants. He explains that his interest in real estate comes from family roots. We discuss the current housing market in the Kanawha Valley, noting a shortage of skilled contractors due to changing job priorities.
Scott points out that high construction costs and aging homes hinder new developments. Despite these challenges, he finds joy in the process. He encourages newcomers to the industry to consider the impact they can have on their communities through real estate.
