Before you can develop land, it must be evaluated through various surveys (e.g., environmental, geotechnical) and approved by the municipality.The Role of a Strong Team: To succeed in land development, you need to assemble a team of experts—engineers, architects, and local consultants.Capital and Risk Management: While locking up land with a small down payment is possible, the real challenge comes with financing the full development process. Real Estate Market Outlook: While land investing remains a stable asset class, high interest rates and a possible slowdown in the housing market could impact land values.

Welcome back to another episode of Unstoppable Real Estate Investing Wealth and today you are in for a real treat as we are joined by Adam Stern.Adam Stern has transacted on more Single-Family Rental Portfolios than any other single professional in the SFR industry. He has built a firm presence in the institutional Single-Family Rental industry since its emergence in 2010. Over the past decade, he has made a career listing and selling existing rental property portfolios to and for some of the largest institutional investors in the space as well as newly emerging private equity groups.Adam has over a decade of real estate experience and before launching Strata SFR, he was the president and co-founder of an online Single-Family Rental Property marketplace, OwnAmerica, which was sold in 2019.Episode Key Moments:[00:04:38] That's the first thing I do. I figure out where the buyers are and kind of what they're looking to buy. And then what I do is I look for portfolios or assets that fit the buy box of a big swath of those buyers so that I can offer my clients. Or if I was an investor, if you did that, you would know that you had an exit or that you had multiple exit options.[00:04:56] And that's kind of how I started and I would suggest anyone do this. The way I look at it is when I find a portfolio and my average portfolio size is about 30 to 40 properties. We look at the market first. It makes sure that age, the market we have buyers for, but also that it's fundamentally sound. It has all the drivers like economics population growth.[00:09:29] That's really for a broker. That's a really comfortable place to be because. We've wholesaled land before. And when you wholesale any deal, the assumption is you're trying to maximize your price. So there's a cutoff and there's a different way of dealing with buyers when you're a wholesaler versus when you're a broker.[00:09:46] And it's just easier being a broker, especially on SFR portfolio deals.[00:12:00] Adam: So on SFR portfolios, since we are beholden to our sellers to get them the best price, we can't bind them as principles. That idea doesn't work with SFR portfolios. So on the bill for rent side though, it works out just fine, because if anyone knows anything about build for rent, and it all starts with the land.[00:12:18] And a lot of times we find land deals that aren't developed, they need something done, either zoning or a site plan or permits being pulled. To make the land more valuable. And sometimes we found a really good deal. We'll tell them, Hey, we're not going to broker this. Well, we'd like to act as a principle in offering on those deals.[00:19:05] It just, my view of the marketplace is it's a lot easier to find deals if you know, what the hell you're looking for. So I always start with the buy-side. I always start with demand side first.Thank you all for listening and I will see you on the next episode.

Join Daniel Nickles and Chris Thompson with their guest Adam Stern as they speak of everything about off-market deals and renting homes over owning homes. Due to what happened in 2008, Adam discovered the turmoil that the decline of rates for selling homes can create for homeowners. As a result, paying for rent compared to paying a mortgage becomes more of the wiser option for most. In this episode, listen as Adam expounds on what he thinks the biggest asset for anyone in real estate is and the indicators that shape the demand for renting homes. In this episode you will learn: How Build-for-Rent is done. What drives people to rent instead of buying homes? The indicators of a substantial market for build-for-rents. How does your network work in your favor? The factors that on-market and off-market deals depend on. About Adam Stern: Adam Stern is a leading expert on the Build-for-Rent market providing guidance on go-to-market strategies for regional builders and land/lot developers intent on expanding their transaction volume and revenue by servicing the ever-increasing demand for Single Family Rentals (SFR), particularly from institutional investors that own and operate rental homes in the US. Adam is also an authority on the acquisition and disposition of SFR portfolios nationwide. He has helped facilitate SFR transactions totaling hundreds of millions in volume and was one of the earliest to recognize that portfolios of stabilized Single-Family Rentals were a product that deserved a specialized service and built a robust network of owners and buyers active in the space. Co-founded OwnAmerica, a marketplace for single-family rental property portfolios that was acquired by Renter's Warehouse in late 2018. Later founded Strata SFR, a boutique brokerage focusing on Build-For-Rent SFR opportunities across the US.

Because if you chase everything that comes along, you're gonna be wasting a lot of time and it's almost impossible to do any real business unless you know exactly what you're looking for to a very high degree of specificity.” “I talk about the 3 Ps, passion, persistence, perseverance. Find something you love to do, do it always and get better at it. Overcome the roadblocks. They'll eventually almost never really stand in your way from getting further. And if you could find that thing that you're passionate about, it takes care of the other Ps. And if you could find that one thing that you're passionate about, you don't mind doing it consistently. You're not gonna mind overcoming the obstacles because it'll be intrinsically fun for you because you have passion about it.” CONNECTING WITH THE GUEST Official Website LinkedIn #ExperimentBroker
