Subdivision development costs
Resource to share if you want to estimate costs. Granular detail required to guesstimate capex. https://www.swiftestimator.com/SE7Help/CE/help/eCOM.htm#Miscellaneous/Section66Costs.htm Don't think they realize it's open to the public. ---- Right on the money Trevor. "*The cost of complete double-loaded street improvements with the components indicated above totals $280.00 to $335.00 per linear foot of street in ordinary level subdivisions, or from $180.00 to $235.00 per front foot of lot, including side street allowance. Costs may run twice as much for extreme hillside conditions."

Wow, now that is a great find. Thx for the share Jae.
Is there a down side?
Does anybody operate in one state doing land deals? If so do you see a downside or do you believe it’s beneficial to stick with one state? Are deals harder to come across?

Some of the most sucessful investors I know are one, maybe two states maximum and have been the way for half a decade or more. There is huge value in knowing your market and the state & local regulations.
42.47 acre On Market Texas Land Deal 👀
A friend of mine forwarded me this property that's been on the market for 407 days about 40min SE of Austin. If I was in TX, I'd be making an offer somewhere in the $500k range, maybe more on seller financing... https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/654-FM-812_Red-Rock_TX_78662_M92630-95371?from=srp-list-card Happy hunting, y'all

I was evaluating a deal in Bastrop county last week and it's one of those areas they talk about that has an oversupply. Something like a 10 yr supply on the market currently and that seems consistent across the acreage ranges. I'd love to hear from anyone who has gone full cycle on a deal in that area in the past year or two.

@Trevor Probandt Zillow. Here is a half ass breakdown of land sell through rate of Bastrop County. Size / For Sale / Sold (12mos) All / 576 / 50 Under 5ac / 445 / 39 5-20ac / 93 / 8 20ac+ / 50 / 3 I'm sure there is some nuance in there I'm not seeing, and Zillow doesn't show all solds, but the supply level is bleak if those numbers are near accurate.

@Eric Bakey "folks who aren't going to sell for quick flips/pennies on dollar" I've done a couple pennies on the dollar flips in SC. Never assume you know what a seller will or will not do ;)
Reality of Rejection
Hey team- I just wanted to share this very thoughtful rejection letter I got from a private capital investor. Most rejections aren't this specific. I'm sharing it as a reminder for everyone to not take rejection personally. And to remember that having local knowledge of the advantages of your project and knowing your community doesn't always mean that an underwriter takes those intangible items into consideration. Here's the rejection I received: Hi Joe, thanks. We took a much closer look at the market and child parcel potential, and conservatively think the low range projections are probably most accurate. We're in the midst of a buyer's market, and even when we undercut the market, 80%+ of our recent parcels are selling for below list, so we take this into account. Understandably, there's a lot of seasonality in MT, and the lagging 6 months is almost non-existent. We devalued the subject property considerably compared to the lots closer to the lake, and accounting for competing lot sizes. Eight 2 acre's hitting the market all at once is tricky. For the later phases, difficult to find reliable comps for larger acreage properties, not a robust market, even accounting for limited inventory. This comp (link) is informative, and in a better neighborhood, with a PPA even a bit less than the proposed low range. We're extra conservative with phased dev plans in case properties sell for below expected value, and take longer to offload with adverse selection, etc. With the low range in mind, we wouldn't expect to see any funds returned until phase 3 starts to exit, and that would be at a 1.25X anticipated ROI on a deal-level basis. With profit splits and timing, this is going to be far too risky for us to pursue currently in comparison to our more routine opportunities. Appreciate all of your effort and DD on this one though. A better fit for us would be a single phase subdivide with reduced project expenses. Let me know if any come up, would love to partner accordingly, and best of luck on this one, thanks,

On a side note "and even when we undercut the market, 80%+ of our recent parcels are selling for below list" Almost all my properties have always sold below list, even i the hottest covid markets. Thats one of the reasons I don't put on market for under market value at least to start. That said, Im mainl rural rec. Even having over supply there are only properties on the market. If you are in a subdivision with 100 properties on market in just that land subdivision, then listing at a discount is warranted.
