What Area of Development do you Specialize?

Most residential developers specialize in one of three areas:
- Entitlements & Permitting (Paper Lots)
- Horizontal Development (Finished Lots)
- Vertical Development (Finished Homes)

Some developers focus on multiple, depending on the market, their risk tolerance, and other factors.

Historically, we've focused on entitlements and permitting, with some horizontal development.

Now, we have a few projects where we plan to do all three.

What do you specialize in?

    cradle to grave.. also specialize in lending developers money for entitlements or the whole project..

    I am small time though built about 300 homes in the last 7 years or so.. 4 developments and spot lots in Charleston sc and  Ocala FLA ( Fla was not worth the effort for us)..

    Developments have been BIG money makers. And our entitlement funding and lot flipping funding is doing very well for us.. BIG margins
