Community opposition can thwart the most desirable—and needed—development projects. Connecticut developer Jerry Davis and CBRE's Jessica Lall offer tips and strategies for marshalling community support for worthwhile projects and overcoming the instinct to “just say no” to new development.1. Engaging the community early and maintaining open lines of communication are crucial for real estate developers to overcome community objections. By involving local stakeholders in the planning process and addressing their concerns, developers can build trust, gain allies and smooth the path for project approval.2. Local governments that adapt regulations to allow for a variety of housing types can ease the "missing middle" problem—affordable housing that falls between single-family homes and large multifamily properties.3. The affordable housing shortage can provide an impetus for regulatory changes and innovative solutions.4. Successful pilot projects can demonstrate how local communities can benefit from new development.5. Collaboration between government and the private sector can advance worthwhile projects that can be derailed by well-intention community opposition.

In this episode of the InsuranceAUM.com Podcast, host Stewart Foley, CFA, speaks with Alfred Chang, Head of Residential Loan Trading at MetLife Investment Management, about the growing role of residential whole loans in insurance portfolios. As a repeat guest, Alfred shares valuable insights into why this asset class is gaining traction, particularly for life insurers seeking capital efficiency and risk-adjusted returns. He compares the benefits of investing in residential whole loans versus public RMBS, highlighting how the private market offers unique opportunities through better control and transparency. Alfred also explains how a lack of housing supply and improved credit quality have made today's market very different from the housing crash of 2008.   Drawing on more than 10 years of experience in residential credit, Alfred discusses MetLife Investment Management's approach to mitigating risk through careful loan selection, strong counterparty relationships, and thorough due diligence. He also delves into the operational complexities of managing large volumes of individual loans and how MIM works closely with clients to address the reporting, accounting, and liquidity challenges of this asset class. If you're interested in how residential whole loans can fit into an insurance company's broader investment strategy, this episode is a must-listen.
