The issue with these “development gurus” is that they falsely make the hardest value add in real estate sound easy. Guru: Buy land at price = $5/ft and you will make millions 🤑 Me: Buy land at price = Max Project Cost of Total Land Acquisition - Site Prep - Tap Fees - Holding

@Esqueer_ @ashertwilde So it may be a promoted tweet, but that effectively works like a Super Bowl add. Companies will pay a premium to be in a promoted tweet like a Super Bowl add to be viewed by you. Your preferences decide what promoted add comes through. Kids would not see a dildo.

Best ways to finance your next development: 4. OZ fund: sounds tax sexy but you are stuck with investors for 10 years. You give up 35-70% equity based on TVM 3. Syndicate: 🥱 0% down, give up 20-40% equity 2. Partner with land owner and use him as KP: 0% down, give up 20-30%

If you think development is easy, go to your local civil engineer and ask him about all the projects failing in town. They are almost always new people who thought development would be easy. Developing isn’t easy, it is the hardest value add in real estate.

When interest rates dropped, there was an incredible two year period to buy an asset at an 8 cap and then sell at a 6 cap by offering seller financing, so long the building could appraise. When rates are high, the reverse process is the arbitrage. What incredible times we live

When someone says they “sell paper” on a property they own, that means they refinanced their property with a “private mortgage”. Eg. I own 2 million dollar strip mall, created paper of 1.5 million with 75k payments a year means: I have a 2 million dollar strip mall and

Cool idea for financing development: Negotiate seller finance. Pay your friend in equity to have the lien on their property instead of sellers property. Use the land for a 30% down payment for the bank and get fully financed 😘

@artyomka26 @RE_Deal_Junkie @warehousedevguy I’m not an expert but supply of non recourse debt (and other debt but less so) contributes to what funds can buy properties for, and they buy a huge volume of real estate. If you look at the 80s when cre debt collapsed, prices dropped like crazy. The reverse with Covid.
