This week’s episode is a sneak peek into our upcoming GRID Charleston event featuring long-time investor and neighborhood transformer Jarrett Hodson. For two decades, Jarrett has been investing where most people aren’t looking — and turning overlooked streets into high-performing neighborhoods.

In this preview, Jarrett breaks down the core of his philosophy: becoming an activist investor. Not a passive buyer. Not a spreadsheet cowboy. Someone who picks a neighborhood, gets involved, and changes the trajectory of the entire area.

He shares:
• The moment he realized neighborhoods could jump from $30K to $1M in under a decade
• Why focusing on one block produces outsized returns
• How “legal insider trading” applies to real estate
• The surprising signals that tell you a neighborhood is ready for transformation
• Why you should drive through areas that don’t have Christmas lights this time of year

If you’re ready to pick your neighborhood and make 2026 a year of real action, this is the episode to listen to.

Join us live on Tuesday, December 16th at 1349 Old Georgetown Road in Mount Pleasant for the full event. Admission is free thanks to Coastal Equity Group, Mitchum Law Firm, Matt O'Neill Real Estate, and Tide Property Management Co.

This week’s episode is a sneak preview of our upcoming GRID Charleston event on Tuesday, November 21st — featuring Devan Carroll, founder of Deventum Properties.

In this conversation, he shares how to build credibility fast, structure your first deal, and turn investor relationships into scalable funding partnerships.

If you’re flipping, wholesaling, or investing in rentals — this episode will give you a taste of the playbook he’ll unpack live at GRID.
