My Story
About Scott Stephens
Real estate entrepreneur, founder, investor, and podcast host — grounded in faith and family in Nashville.
Grounded in family and community in Nashville’s 12 South area.
I’m a real estate entrepreneur, investor, and developer based in Nashville, Tennessee. With a foundation forged through obedience and faith—including a season of missionary service—I bring discipline, vision, and stewardship to everything I build.
After releasing a decade-long fund vision back to God during a pivotal beach reset, I stepped into a new epoch of building. Today I’ve shifted from operating as a general partner toward being a founder and a limited partner—backing strong operators and ventures rather than running every deal myself.
That includes founding Fireside Strategies, a workforce-housing fund; co-founding Torch Collective and Land Investment Partners here in Nashville; owning apartments; and investing in ventures like The Kollective. Across all of it, the throughline is the same: relationships, discipline, and legacy over short-term gains.
This isn’t cookie-cutter. It’s relational, purpose-driven work built for lasting impact.
What I Build On
Faith first. Excellence always.
Faith
Seeking God first and aligning my work with calling.
Stewardship
Holding every resource as a trust to be multiplied responsibly.

High-character relationships that last.
Legacy
Creating blessing and overflow for families and communities (Proverbs 13:22).
A good person leaves an inheritance for their children’s children.
