Many investors understand the challenges in financing a development project…
But what about what comes first?
That’s right, today we’re talking about land — the horizontal investment opportunity that vertical investors often view as anything from a mysterious black box to real estate’s risky four-letter word.
To help decipher the enigma, today I’m joined by <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnfcurry">John Curry</a>, Chief Executive Officer at <a href="https://www.setantadc.com/">Setanta Development Capital</a>, whose success in this asset class will assuage any doubts about the opportunities in the space.
In this episode, we discuss:
<ul><li>Why John doesn’t buy the argument that land is illiquid</li>
<li>Why the 2008 housing crisis has been completely misremembered</li>
<li>How to customers hatred for lenders helps him deliver great customer service</li>
</ul>
