The land investment space has long been dominated by two extremes: speculative holds on raw acreage and full-scale horizontal development with entitlements, infrastructure, and vertical construction. Between those poles sits a less visible model, buying large rural tracts, subdividing them under existing by-right zoning provisions, and selling smaller parcels to retail buyers who want to ...
When an infrastructure company’s site selection team finally sends over its formal requirements for a Midwest location, the list of data points requested often catches local landlords off guard. Logan Freeman, a real estate professional at Midwest CRE Advisors, says most building owners have never calculated the numbers a serious buyer actually needs. “Most owners ...
After several years of compressed deal flow and a persistent gap between buyer and seller expectations, Oklahoma’s retail investment market is showing signs of renewed activity.

While many real estate investors focus on mortgage rates and purchase prices, a less visible cost increase is steadily eroding short-term rental (STR) margins.

But the sharper ...
The U.S. rental market built aggressively during the pandemic era, particularly in Sunbelt cities like Nashville, Austin, and Dallas. Now much of that new inventory, especially high-end apartments, is sitting partially empty, competing for renters whose budgets have tightened considerably since construction began. The disconnect is straightforward: developers built expensive Class A apartments in markets ...
