The Challenge & Strategy
Acquired a wooded, non-conforming "paper street" lot at a municipal auction. The goal was a tactical resale by creatively marketing the lot's potential for recreational use, despite its development challenges.

Scope of Work & Value Created

• Strategic Marketing: Initially marketed with an adjacent lot, then pivoted to a standalone sale at a reduced price to attract a buyer seeking a low-cost, low-due-diligence purchase.

• Risk Management: Maintained minimal carrying costs to preserve profitability on a small-scale investment.

The Result
Successfully exited the position with a 43.5% ROI, reinforcing the discipline to pursue profitable exits even on smaller deals and providing a valuable lesson in land investment risk assessment
