Developments

For real estate investors, undeveloped land and homes on large lots present unique opportunities to tap into long-term appreciation, redevelopment potential, and strategic value creation. Whether you’re interested in land banking, subdividing lots, or renovating existing homes, these types of investments offer flexibility that more traditional income-producing assets often lack.

Undeveloped land can be held for future growth (especially in path-of-progress areas), rezoned for higher use, or developed into residential, commercial, or mixed-use properties. It’s a low-maintenance asset with minimal holding costs—and when purchased strategically, it can yield high returns with relatively low upfront investment.

On the other hand, existing homes on large or underutilized lots offer the chance for value-add strategies, such as:

• Renovating or flipping the home

• Adding ADUs (accessory dwelling units) for rental income

• Subdividing or redeveloping the parcel for higher density

• Holding for future upzoning or municipal infrastructure expansion

These types of properties often appeal to both short-term investors seeking flip or rental profits, and long-term players looking to create generational wealth through land value appreciation.
