Our Land Development Model
We create value by acquiring, entitling, and developing land through a proven process using creative
financing and long-term public funding tools.
- Land Acquisition: Seller-financed or lease agreements with backend profit-sharing
- Entitlement: Rezoning, permitting, subdivision approvals
- Infrastructure: Roads, utilities, and broadband installation
- Taxing Authority: Creation of MUDs, CIDs, or CFDs for 30+ year bond repayment
- Monetization: Lot sales, home construction, leases

๐ Overview of the Land Development Business
Land development involves transforming raw land into a usable, sellable, or leasable assetโtypically for residential, commercial, industrial, or mixed-use purposes. It can be highly profitable because developers create value by improving land and planning future income streams.
๐ฐ Step-by-Step Breakdown of the Model
- Acquire the Land (Low Capital Outlay): Buy or lease large parcels. Owner financing is key to reduce upfront costs, and offering equity or commission keeps sellers invested.
- Prepare the Land (โEntitlementsโ): Rezone, secure permits, and install utilities. High risk, but dramatically increases land value.
- Create a Taxing Authority or Special District: MUDs, CIDs, CFDs, or TIFs finance infrastructure with bonds, paid back by future residents over 30+ years.
- Monetize: Sell lots to builders, build & sell/lease directly, or retain partial ownership for long-term income.
๐ Why Itโs So Profitable
- Value created through land use change and infrastructure
- Low personal capital due to seller financing, bonds, and pre-sales
- Profit from sales, developer fees, management, and long-term leases
โ ๏ธ Risks to Keep in Mind
- Entitlement delays
- Bond/financing risks
- Cost overruns
- Regulatory and market shifts
