Making Money with Land

You’ll also learn the typical step-by-step process behind land projects, how deals are commonly structured, and what it really takes to raise capital for these opportunities. The speaker will break down realistic exit strategies, the potential for high returns (and the risks that come with them), and why investors choose to participate in land projects in the first place so you leave with a clearer framework for evaluating and pursuing your next land opportunity.
The evening includes networking, expert insights, and free attendance and parking at the Pacific Stay Hotel in West Covina.
