About Thomas Hospod
As a dynamic leader and experienced lawyer, my approach centers around a fundamental question:\'How can I help?\' I thrive on actively listening to clients and colleagues, seeking to understand their motivations and goals, and then taking decisive action to remove obstacles or mobilize the right resources for achieving desired outcomes. I completed my JD at the University of Miami School of Law and embarked on a successful four-year journey as a regulatory counsel, where I achieved remarkable results. Motivated to explore more challenging opportunities aligned with my passions, I transitioned into the private equity and real estate development & finance sector, specializing in market analysis, business development, financial analytics, and regulatory compliance, particularly in seniors housing. My expertise lies in devising effective state and federal regulatory compliance strategies. I am well-versed in researching government programs and enforcement efforts to provide valuable counsel on client operations and regulatory reporting obligations. Additionally, I excel in analyzing real estate market trends, leveraging demographic data, and skillfully negotiating contracts with brokers, stakeholders, counterparties. My experience also encompasses creating pro formas for potential acquisitions and developments, diligently tracking performance against those projections, and expertly managing contractual and legal obligations at every stage of development. Recently, I embraced a new professional challenge, transitioning into disability-forward and affordable housing development. In this role, I manage the business development pipeline, lead technical assistance projects, and support asset management and financial feasibility matters. My passion for innovation drives me to explore creative financing models and capital stacks, tapping into valuable resources like LIHTC and other subsidies to achieve our objectives. Throughout my career, my commitment to leadership, legal acumen, and adaptability has allowed me to thrive in diverse industries and domains. I am eager to connect with like-minded professionals, share insights, and explore potential collaborations. Let\'s connect and explore how we can create meaningful impact together.
