Looking For A High Yield Real Estate Investment? Now Accepting Accredited Investors!

[Kristen Haynes]

Fellow Investors:

If you are looking for a high-yield investment to diversify your portfolio that outperforms most REITS or the stock market, we have some exciting programs available that you may want to check out!

BRD Land & Investments, based out of the Charlotte MSA, has two fantastic options for Accredited Investors. We work with Investors to raise capital to fund land projects for large, national builders to develop and build their communities- like D.R. Horton, NVR/Ryan Homes, Lennar, Taylor Morrison, Meritage Homes, among others. BRD currently has over 1.2 billion in 45,000 lots (with 35,000 under contract), scattered across NC, SC, GA, FL, TN and TX. 

BRD Land & Investment currently has two options for investment:

1.)  Invest in a promissory note that works to use capital to purchase raw land to "de-risk" (buying the land, performing soil & geographical testing, re-zoning if needed) to get the land "shove-ready" for these national builders to purchase. These typically provide with a rate of annualized return of between 15 to 20%, depending the amount of capital invested and the time frame chosen by the Investor up front. Generally, the Promissory Notes are for two or three years, or you could choose to keep your investment rolling. The minimum to invest starts at only $100 K.

2.) The other option that BRD offers is called an SPE, which is a 'special purpose entity'. There are usually 4 to 5 projects in one SPE at various stages of development. BRD puts the first 50% upfront, and, by the time that they offer each SPE, the land has already been purchased, tested, re-zoned if needed, and de-risked- so these lots are on point to be "shovel-ready' to sell to builders. These SPE's are not always available, depending on which ones are open for new investment. Generally, there's usually four or five different land projects going on within one SPE, and, when the fund matures, Investors get paid out first. For larger capital Investors, BRD will also open an entire SPE to share 50/50 with them in a separate LLC. The minimum Investment for SPE's is $250 K.

BRD's Executive team consists of past Presidents of Meritage Homes, Taylor Morrison, NVR/Ryan Homes, among others, and they personally know all of the players/builders. Once an SPE is set up and the land in the project is de-risked and is shovel-ready, BRD reaches out to builders to bid on the land and to submit LOI's (letters of intent), and they choose the builder to sell the project to, out of multiple bids received. Since the Executive Team and their Independent Consultants have all worked for (and have ties with) the national home builders, they already know what the builders are generally willing to pay per project. The return on investment for these SPE's is between 20 to 25%, in an indexed fund with BRD Land & Investments also investing the first 50% in the fund. The SPEs pay 20% for the first 12 months and 24% after 2 years and one day. They expect to have 100,000+ lots next year.
