  1. Leveraging End-User Investment for Acquisition and Redevelopment

  2. Defining an “End-User Driven” Model • Working with community stakeholders, investors and local governments to identify properties for acquisition; • Allowing purchasers to rehab properties with their own resources for rental/re-sale/owner-occupancy. • Small staff/budget: allowed us to build capacity over time, and to gradually increase strategic acquisitions and/or investment. • Areas with strong stakeholder presence can see tremendous activity. • Neighborhoods lacking stakeholders will need to organize, but an active Land Bank can often serve as the catalyst for organization. • “Reverse deed in escrow” ensures end-user carries out project. • Look to strengths and weaknesses of community stakeholders at community level in determining neighborhood strategies.

  3. Potential Partnerships with Stakeholders • Community development corporations • Non-profit service providers • Institutional anchors (schools, hospitals, corporations, etc.) • Churches • Local government entities • Private investors (may have niches in specific areas) • Neighborhood-based organizations (as basic as block watch) • Individual neighborhood residents & businesses

  4. Potential Partnerships with Purchasers • Non-profit developers (community development corps, etc.) • Private investors (rental & re-sale) • Prospective owner occupants • Usually cash rehabs, but sometimes properties can be financed (traditional lending or rehab lending) • Institutional anchors & churches (campus beautification/development) • Private commercial/industrial developers • Urban agriculture & community gardening

  5. Partnering to Rehab Single Family Homes • Over 80 single family structures have been sold for redevelopment • Average single family residential structure requires around $25,000 in investment to return it to code compliance and habitable condition • Land Bank retains reverter interest in property until rehab work is complete through “reverse deed in escrow” built into purchase agreement • Priority is rehab for owner occupancy; roughly 50% of residential rehabs to date have been sold to owner occupants (includes properties occupied by family of purchaser) • Difficult to increase owner-occupancy rates when relying solely on purchaser’s assets to complete rehab work • Land Bank currently exploring additional opportunities to facilitate single family rehab for owner occupants
