8 Acres On Lake Michigan - $800k - Partnership Opportunity

Real Estate Agent · Union City, MI · Member since 2014 · 121 posts · 20 votes

We have found an 8 parcel on Lake Michigan, in South West Michigan. This 8 acre parcel is a steal at $800k!  Our research has shown that 1/2 acre lots on Lake Michigan are currently selling for about $400k. We know this lot can be split at least 2 times (possibly more) leaving 2 parcels that are a few acres in size. We are looking to partner with people to make this deal happen.

Here are a couple scenarios that we see for developing the property:

1)Purchase property & split it into 2 or more parcels and sell them individually.

The numbers:

-$800,000 (purchase price)

-$25,000 (estimated cost for splitting the parcel)

-$6,000 (1 year taxes)

-$60,000 (realtor fees)

$1,000,000 from sale (if each parcel sold for a very conservative $500k)

$109,000 potential profit

2)Purchase property & split using above numbers. Now develop these lots as "build to suit". If you put a $500k house on each parcel, these would sell for approx. $1.5M+ each.

The numbers:

-$800,000 (purchase price)

-$25,000 (estimated cost for splitting the parcel)

-$6,000 (1 year taxes)

-$180,000 (realtor fees)

-$1,000,000 (construction cost for 2 houses)

$3,000,000 (each house and lot sale price of $1.5M)

$989,000 potential profit

*Please note that all these numbers are very conservative. The potential on this could be much greater than what is indicated.*

If the parcel can be separated into more lots, the profit potential in each scenario is higher.

There is great opportunity with this piece of land. Please let us know what other questions you have. We are open to working with one partner or working with multiple partners to make this deal happen.

Thank you!

@Robin Secord  If "[y]our research has shown that 1/2 acre lots on Lake Michigan are currently selling for about $400k" why don't you divide the 8 acres into 16 1/2 acre Lots and sell them for $400K each and pocket $5.6 million in profits?

    Hey Robin,

    Is there a minimum amount you are looking for to get involved?  

    Thanks!

    @Bradford Myatt we don't have a minimum for this deal.  If we have to crowd fund it, we will:) 

    @David Begley 

    What you mention may be a possibility - we have yet to connect with the correct person who can tell us how many times this can be split.  Also, keep in mind that all of the lots would not be on Lake MI if you split this parcel 16 times.  The lots on the lake would sell for 3-4 times the cost of the "nonlake" lots.  The bonus to this to increase the value though is that all the lots would have shared access to the beach area.

    As we mention - our numbers are very conservative because we don't know specifics yet.  This parcel has huge potential & the potential could grow depending on what answers we learn.

    Let us know what other questions you have - thanks!

    Are there any other questions we can answer on this right now?  We are going to be talking with a local surveyor this week to learn more about the development opportunities & costs involved with this.  Any tips on what we should ask the surveyor?

    I don't have a whole lot that I can invest, but if you go the crowdfunding route, I would be very interested in more information as you get it.
