Real Estate Development Investment Strategies

The second series of webinars will be on “how to use land” for profit and investment. There will be eight webinars launched for entrepreneurs seeking new ways to generate a significant return on their investments. The webinars will focus on approaches not in the main stream of real estate development. Each webinar will be a specific focus on an approach proven and illustrated by example.

Homes with Land
This webinar will illustrate a profitable and mostly overlooked real estate development strategy which minimizes cash investment and maximizes return on investment. The concept is basic and it uses your overall real estate knowledge beyond “just buying a house”. Learn basic surveying, engineering and marketing concepts necessary to evaluate a home with land as an investment strategy.


Highest and Best Use
In a perfect world, each parcel of land would be assessed for its highest and best use. The value of the land is directly related to the specific use which produces the greatest return on investment. Learn the factors used in determining the highest and best use for the market. There are several residential and non-residential uses which should be considered before traditional approaches.


Finished Lot Inventory Investment Strategy
The oversupply of finished lots in most metro markets will be burden on the housing industry for years to come. In some markets, the available finished lot inventory is sufficient to satisfy the new construction demand for over 10-years. This webinar will outline a strategy to invest in finished lots now for resale in the future. This webinar will provide an overview and steps to take in implementing this investment strategy.


Rezone for Value
This popular webinar topic is designed for all real estate development expertise levels. The concept is basic. Simply, buy land under the market with a specific zoning. Rezone that property into a higher and best use to increase the value of the land. This is achieved by having government approve the rezoning application. This webinar will illustrate three examples: residential, non-residential land and an existing building. Learn the advantages and disadvantages of pursuing this investment strategy.
