Land + Home Development

Develop the lots, build the homes

Sell pads to builders, build homes on the rest — mix both exits in one model.

The full build-to-sell playbook: entitle raw land, build finished lots in phases, then choose each phase's exit — sell lots to builders or build a product mix of home plans and sell the homes, with vertical financing and per-plan margins.

What you get

Everything you need to make the call with confidence.
Per-phase disposition
Each phase exits its own way — sell finished lots to a builder or build homes on them. Early lot sales fund the home phases.
Home product mix
Plan-by-plan homes — count, square footage, vertical cost per SF, and price — with per-plan margins against your all-in finished-lot basis.
Three-loan capital stack
Acquisition, horizontal development (on a draw schedule), and a vertical construction loan that revolves as homes build and sell.
Own capital or GP/LP
Flip to a partnership and see LP and GP returns through a pref-and-promote waterfall, with the developer fee on top.
