Master-planned communities have been a great investment vehicle for the past few decades because they allow developers to meet the needs of specific emerging demographics while delivering a steady return to investors. While they are attractive to many, they are also a specialized enough field that some investors who have an interest in participating in the market don’t have a line in to actually put their money to work. When it comes to real estate investment, there are basically two ways to do it. Either you self-fund because you’ve got a deep cash reserve from other successful investments, or you group with people who are like yourself and work with a developer. The latter is by far the more common method, but how do you find an organization that builds these communities?
