Why do some neighborhoods suddenly explode in value while others stay stuck for years? 👀

This week on the Exit Strategies Radio Show, Corwyn J. Melette sits down with nationally recognized Opportunity Zone expert Ashley Tison to unpack the real forces behind neighborhood transformation, rising property values, and community investment.

This conversation goes far beyond taxes and investing. It’s about understanding how economic momentum changes communities, creates opportunity, and impacts everyday homeowners and aspiring homeowners.

Ashley explains how investment flows into overlooked communities, why developers and investors move into certain areas first, and how homeowners can better understand the economic shifts happening around them.

From housing development and local businesses to generational wealth and community growth, this episode gives listeners a fresh perspective on what truly drives neighborhood change.
