Don’t Sell Your Land. Develop It.

A family in Tacoma was ready to sell their inherited lot for $1.2M.
We showed them how to turn it into $5.4M — without lifting a hammer.

They assumed selling was the only “easy” option.
No capital. No experience. No appetite to become a developer.

But what they did have was:
✔️ Location
✔️ Zoning
✔️ A long-term mindset

So we proposed something different — a joint venture.
Here’s how we structured it:

They brought the land — clean title, zoned for 40 units

We brought the team — feasibility, design, permits, GC

They funded pre-dev — ~$200K, recouped at closing

We shared the upside — 45/55 split post-return of capital

By staying in the deal, they:
• Turned $0 basis into $2.4M+ net
• Kept ownership in a new rental asset
• Never touched zoning or financing — we did

Selling land is easy.
Developing it — with the right partner — is smarter.
And in today’s capital market, partnerships are the strategy.

If you own land: What would it take for you to stay in the deal instead of walking away?

Send me a DM if you have land you want to partner on and develop.
