With over a decade of experience, Schuyler Hoffman specializes in real estate litigation and helping investors navigate the legal minefields of property development.

San Diego's real estate market is unique and challenging, influenced by tenant-friendly landlord-tenant laws, high development costs, and zoning complexities. Schuyler discusses the critical role of due diligence and offers a clear warning: spending on legal advice early on can save you from six-figure litigation battles down the line. He also explains the trend of “infill” development (turning single-family lots into multi-unit buildings) and the hurdles developers face—neighborhood pushback, city council protests, and even trespassing.

Whether you're a seasoned developer or a new investor, this episode uncovers why partnering with an experienced legal team is a non-negotiable. Schuyler's advice? Real estate success depends on more than the deal itself; it’s about knowing who you’re working with, planning for obstacles, and staying realistic about market challenges.
