We help investors diversify their investment portfolios into attractive risk-adjusted returns in near-term, land-oriented real estate opportunities. 

 

Our focus is on small and medium size parcels (1 acre to 500 acre) which are often overlooked by the mega sized firms. This provides a great opportunity for our team: we have the experience to identify optimal parcels, can close deals quickly, with expedited profitable turnover. 

 

Because we emphasize land deals, we can return profits to investors quickly, and with low relative risk. You'll leverage our team's expertise in site evaluation, deal analysis, handling land entitlement and related activities, optimizing the site development planning phases, and identifying optimal buyers.

 

Our target holding period ranges from three to four years or less for each offering. The offerings each are comprised of multiple projects, which provides investors additional risk reduction.  

​

When you invest with OptIn Ventures, you join other, like-minded investors who see the opportunity to gain a force multiplier effect on their returns: pooling capital to enable more diversification for both enhanced returns and lower overall risk.

​

Because we are a private firm, our interests are completely aligned with yours. We don't need to chase stock prices or analyst ratings as a public firm or REIT must, and our compensation comes in the form of a share of the net profits. In addition, we are also direct investors in all of our offerings. No games, no fast-talk, we're in this together.

​

The net-net

Our goal is to provide an "all weather" real estate fund to provide strong (e.g., IRR > 30%) returns to investors. We do this through a high-quality, lower-risk portfolio of real estate assets that we believe are capable of generating increased valuation. We seek to diversify investors by limiting their exposure in any project within an offering, and we put at least two exit strategies in place for each parcel as part of our deal evaluation.

​

Our focus is specifically on small to medium (1 to 500 acre) land parcels. These are often overlooked by mega size firms. Avoiding the costs, risks, and long timespan of vertical development, and emphasizing high growth locations, help generate strong risk-adjusted returns with out extraordinary risks.

​

The opportunity

Locations that see high growth, such as Austin, Raleigh, Boise, and much of the Sunbelt, provide amazing opportunity for investment. Home prices have increased between 3x and 5x prior growth rates, yet home inventories are low.

​

Consider the data: over the past 20 years, demand required 1.3 millions homes per year, but on average, only 947,000 were built. That shortfall is compounding, and developers could comfortably build over 2 million homes a year for the next decade. They need entitled tracts to buy.

​

Meanwhile, investors (like you) are pouring into hard assets. The stock market is sufficiently expensive, and inflation is sufficiently real, to cause a rush into everything from NFTs to crypto. All investors have their own preferences; we prefer hard assets you can walk on.

​

We are considering projects across the US, and also look within our own backyard in Central Texas. Large employers like Samsung, Amazon, Apple, Google, Facebook, and Tesla are expanding aggressively here. This hyper-growth market provides us additional opportunity.

 

It is clear that the need for additional housing, be it rental or individually owned, and associated commercial space is real.  With average sales times dropping, low inventories, and values skyrocketing, developers are eager to find the right tract to build on. That's where we come in.
