Paul Connor and Philip Guyton from Connor Investment Real Estate discuss their land investment strategy in Texas. They focus on capital and investments in residential and industrial opportunities, primarily in Texas and the southeast side of the United States. They highlight their three core styles of investment: land banking, direct equity investments in master plan communities or suburban development, and direct investments in heavy industrial manufacturing and logistics parks. They provide examples of successful projects they have worked on, emphasizing the importance of pre-contracting lots for sale to mitigate risk. They also discuss the current market trends in Texas, including tight home supply, job growth, and population growth.
