Real Estate Investing Strategies: Real estate investment strategies for individual properties are organized into several broad categories, which include:
- Core: buy an existing, stabilized property, change very little, and sell it again
- Core-Plus: similar, but make minor upgrades
- Value-Added: acquire an existing property, renovate or greatly improve it, and then sell it again
- Opportunistic: develop or redevelop a property and then sell it
Feasibility Studies
Land Surveying & Mapping: Assessing property boundaries and topography
Environmental Compliance: Conducting soil testing and environmental impact analysis
Local Regulations: Reviewing zoning laws and land use restrictions
- Identify key infrastructure needs (roads, utilities, drainage)
- Ensure clear property title and review existing legal encumbrances (liens, easements).
- Explore potential financing sources (equity investors, lenders, government incentives), if needed.
Key Items to Consider in a Feasibility Study
Zoning & Land Use
Verify zoning regulations independently—don’t rely solely on a realtor’s word.
Flood Zone & Topography
Confirm if a topographic survey is available to assess potential flood risks.
Legal Plat vs. Survey
Ensure a legal plat is available, but remember that a plat is not the same as a survey.
Planned Unit Development (PUD)
Determine if the property falls under a PUD and what restrictions apply.
Re-Zoning Requirements
If re-zoning is needed, check if city officials are open to it.
Example: A planner in Celina once mentioned that their City Manager opposed additional apartments, immediately halting a project. Such cases, while rare, do happen.
Easements & Surveys
Ensure easements are explicitly marked on an official survey.
Be aware that some surveys may omit crucial details, making them incomplete or unusable.
Right-of-Way (R.O.W.) Considerations
Check if the city has plans to acquire part of your property for road expansion—this is a common issue.
Real Estate Acquisition:
- Purchase Agreement Negotiation & Finalization: Secure favorable terms that optimize value and mitigate potential risks through skilled negotiation.
- Business Plan Development (as required): Formulate a tailored, goal-oriented business plan to ensure the project’s long-term success.
- Financing Arrangement: Identify and secure optimal financing solutions aligned with project scope and objectives.
