In simple terms, an annexation is when a city increases the size of its jurisdiction by bringing in, or incorporating adjacent property that previously was not a part of the city. The reason you should care is that when a property gets annexed, all the rules change! That can be great and that can be not so great. Annexations can be initiated by the jurisdiction itself or by a property owner....that's you! If your project is bringing enough value to the city this can be the your opportunity to write the rules yourself! If this is of interest to you, you really need to check out our coaching group.

If you were ever curious about how to find rezoning opportunities, here's one proven way. Look at the zoning map for the jurisdiction you're working in. Look for the areas where one property is zoned one way and the property right next to it is zoned something different. In the image below, the orange property is zoned for duplexes while the property in green is zoned for commercial uses. There is a strong arguement to be made to rezone the duplex (orange) to commercial (green). Hopefully you'll never look at these zoning maps the same again!  Hot off the presses people! Check out the latest episode of the Dirty Real Estate Show where we talk about the crazy way that property taxes are determined and the reason behind them to begin with. Enjoy! Listen here.  Here's a tip for you.....Once an entitlement is approved, the owner has typically 2 years to act on the approval. Once it expires, they have to start over. The next time you are talking with the local planning office, ask them if they are aware of any subdivision projects that are about to expire. Oftentimes those owners are in distress and may need a solution to their problems. This spells opportunity for investors like us!  ATTENTION WHOLESALERS! We have great news.

Episode 14 As we know, lining up a builder/buyer before entitlements are approved is an ideal way forward. However, sometimes investors have trouble locating builders to work with.
One creative tip is to contact the local building department and request copies of the latest building permit applications. Those applications will have the contact information of active builders in your market. Use that information to start your outreach efforts. These are the kinds of tips we share with our coaching members to help them get the upper hand in their market. In the meantime, check out this list of builders that are active not only in California, but throughout much of the country as well. List of Builders |
