Harlem native Edward Poteat always wanted to find a way to give back to his community. In 1995, Poteat, 29, aligned himself with Robert Horsford, 30, and his sister, Alyah, 31, to start Horsford & Poteat Realty (H&P), a full-service firm that develops, markets and manages affordable housing in Harlem. Once they became full-time entrepreneurs. Poteat, a Yale graduate, took over as director of development and real estate.
Between 1998 and 2001, the firm, which grossed $1.5MM last year, renovated more than 400 units of affordable housing. It plans to develop another 250 units in 2002.
