A few years ago I controlled a 37-acre development property that was planned for 52 residential lots. The property owner agreed to owner financing at $2,000,000, which allowed me to control the opportunity with zero money down. After identifying the development potential of the land, I approached D.R. Horton, the largest homebuilder in the United States, directly with the opportunity. The deal was ultimately structured so the property sold for $2,505,000, creating a $505,000 spread between the contract price and the resale price. The key lesson from that deal was this: You don’t have to own the land to profit from the land. You just need to control the opportunity long enough to structure the right exit. Inside this community I break down exactly how deals like this work, including: • how land opportunities are found • how property can be controlled without using your own capital • how developers and builders evaluate land deals • how assignments and double closings work • and the mistakes that can cost you a deal if you're not careful If you're interested in learning how land development deals can be structured without using your own money, start with the $505K Land Deal case study in the classroom.
