When most people hear the term “land development” they usually think of big-time builders or contractors who construct master-planned communities, housing developments, office complexes, shopping malls and the like. But that’s off the mark. True professional land developers don’t actually “build” anything. They simply get raw land ready to build on by acquiring the necessary governmental approvals for rezoning, future use plans, etc. Then, they re-sell the “ready-to-build” land to builders and contractors for an industry average of 300-500% more than they originally paid for it. That is why this is acknowledged as the most profitable form of real estate, making it one of the best investments an investor can make today.
THE TOP 4 REASONS THAT LAND DEVELOPMENT IS ONE OF THE BEST INVESTMENTS YOU CAN MAKE TODAY:
The 1st reason that this is one of the best investments you make today, is because, as noted above, professionally managed development projects are considered to be among the most profitable investments available to investors. Professional land developers will, on average, realize a 300-500% increase in the value of the raw land they are developing. (And, the investors get to share in the developers’ net profits!) This is, by far, the most profitable form of real estate and consistently surpasses most all other investment choices (including stocks, bonds, mutual funds, precious metals, oil & gas, etc.).
The 2nd reason that this form of real estate is among the best investments today is because development projects are typically “secured” by the value of the land that is being developed. In other words: they are asset- backed for the investors’ security. This means that in the event of a major problem (heaven forbid), the land can be sold and investors can recoup all or part of their original investment, plus their share of any net profits. (Compare that to stocks and most other investment vehicles where you literally have no security at all on your investment in the event of a market downturn or devaluation.)
