an easy path to financial freedom

Did you know?

Very few people are aware that there is a massive overhaul of General Plans in areas where there is developable land in Southern California? What this means is that many areas that have low density could change to residential, industrial and even commercial, resulting in potential huge windfall!

California as a state has a total of 100 million acres. 76 million are already developed. Half of California’s land is held by some form of government and not available for development. The bottom line is that California is down to only 2 million acres or 2 percent of its land left and available for development and expansion.

This is a Cal-Berkley figure from a 2003 demographic study. Today, 37 million people live in California. By 2015, the head count will be over 45 million. California is truly out of developable land. Unstoppable population expansion puts crushing market pressure on scarcity of remaining land.

  2. Excellent question, Doris. Actually the time we’re in right now is probably the BEST time to invest in well-researched Southern California land.

    Today, people are much more cautious with their money. They don’t want to let it go. They need to know their investments make sense to them.

    During the times when the economy was riding high, anybody and everybody can make money. Many of these people are opportunistic. They are sheep following the herd, salmon swimming upstream, a moth to a flame. Everything is “here today, gone tomorrow.”

    In the 80’s, the opportunity was junk bonds. And guess what…that’s exactly what they were – junk! In the 90’s, it was .com this .com that. BUST! People valued AOL more than Coca Cola (a hard asset). Now in the 2000’s, it has been subprime loans. Now look where we are.

    IF YOU START WITH A FALSE PREMISE, YOU GET FALSE RESULTS!

    When the economy slows down, opportunities abound! I base my land business from low to low. What you need is continuity and longevity. Land doesn’t disappear or get worn out.

  3. where does one begin to look for the information needed to find where development will next occur?one wants to find ahead of time where this development will happen ,so they can buy property head of this. so ,where do we get this information? and How do we determine what value to place on the land we wish to purchase? sine se certainly don’t want to over pay. this would only reduce or eliminate profits(and it seems that is what land banking is all about right?)

  4. Thank you for your comment. Yes, this is a very detail oriented business where if you leave one fact unchecked, a land mine will eagerly be awaiting you. In land, it’s not what you see, but what you don’t see. That’s why you have to invest with a company who has an excellent track record and does the research for you – one who takes the first mover risk for you by acquiring it with stringent criteria for themselves. A company that is acquiring the land with the forethought that they may keep the land themselves. I have direct access to this if you would like to talk further.
