How valuable is certainty in real estate? How valuable would it be to a developer if they knew with 100% certainty that they could build their project? How valuable would it be for a business owner to know for sure that they could move their business into a commercial building?
Entitlements add certainty, and certainty adds value. We just released our course called Entitle and Flip which goes over these kinds of forced appreciation strategies. Stay tuned….we have something else on the way that will help you separate yourself from the herd by learning to add value to a property without ever touching it.

The below article discusses the proposed development of a 90,000 square foot industrial/logistics building. I’m posting this in response to some questions I received about developers asking for entitlement contingencies. The investor I was working with thought that it was odd that a developer would ask for this and was going to use it as part of their reasoning to not sign a purchase agreement.
Two points:
I spoke to someone just minutes ago who was looking to subdivide a 120-acre tract for sale to recreational users. He knows this type of user very well and believes that 5-acre lots are the ideal size for this buyer. Unfortunately, the zoning requires a 20-acre minimum lot size. His question for me was if there was any way to change the minimum lot size through a variance or something similar. Quickly, you can’t use a variance to deviate from minimum lot size requirements. So the only option would be to request a rezoning to a more intense zoning designation that allows for smaller minimum lot sizes. So the real question is if the property was a good candidate for a rezoning approval. In this case, likely not. And that has a lot to do with the zoning of the surrounding properties. This reminded me that this is exactly the kind of information and material that is covered in the Rezoning for Profits course found on our website at the link below.

Examples include the conversion or apartment rentals to for-sale homes or the modification of old warehouses to residential lofts or the change of use from a old retail building to a use that requires some kind of entitlement to be approved. Each jurisdiction is different. THE DREAM IS REAL!!! Most investors stay away from entitlements either out of fear or out of a lack of knowledge. But did you know that there are “BIG” entitlements and then there are “little” entitlements? The big ones require public hearings, the Planning Commission or City Council. The little ones let you add value while flying under the radar by avoiding these headaches. But you need to know which are which….and they’re different in each jurisdiction. But once you have that combination dialed in, you’re set for future deals. Why only buy low when you can add value too?
