Legacy Real Estate Development
01/11/2026
Actually….
This is how it was done…
It took ALOT more than that $10k loan…. It’s called relationships, the ability to service carrying cost,the access to find the deal, the time to look through many deals, a “willing” seller (Back then certain folks didnt sell to other certain folks b/c property”can” mean freedom & independence-but more deadly= competition) o wereVERY,VERY relaxed loan underwriting, VERY attractive capital costs, & community support…..
Oh and lasltly he had to have family/community/connections that had the resource’s to loan (or authority to approve him) for the 10k… But I’ll let y’all tell it.
It’s called a “John” deal 😉
The moral - Don’t compare yourself to someone that won in a completely different era of lending regulation & that was also among a community that possesed vast social lending connectivity…
It’s still rigged- but once you understand that, you can stop operating like it’s a meritocracy- America is a hustle, to find the right folks that are willing to be “creative” - for the right people & price (focus on the latter)
The importance of legacy….
When you’re born & raised in the “community” of the real estate development business…
Your “last name” garners way more more support than any us newbies could ever beg for.
First and foremost , capital and “equity” 😉 is never an “if” - It’s already waiting and/or it’s just an introduction away…
( JMT has been around since the 60’s- it goes w/o saying that commercial lending wasn’t extended from a meritocracy perspective to everyone then. The eldest execs are/were on all the right boards; even some banks; that probably doesnt hurt your chances of being approved)
There’s a built-in network
(the players know you/your family,no searching needed) is waiting for you: (Look at what Travis is born into)
A network of…..
☑️private investors & banking contacts
☑️family resources that enable you to be “buy & hold”
☑️engineers
☑️attorneys
☑️contractors
☑️brokers
☑️consultants
PSA- they don’t share anything above- if you aren’t in the circle-
Remember this , the next time you’re interested in development. This is what you’re up against. Yet please do not compare yourself against this if you’re starting from ground zero. The names in the development/aquisition headlines were wheeling and dealing decades before you were born. Lastly understand that they also acquired their empires in a MUCH different lending, permitting, economic environment. There was now Fico in the 60s/70’s when these empires were started. There were meetings over coffee at the bank presidents/ board members house/country club- and the deal was approved. THAT was the underwriting process; “social underwriting”. This is something folks like me will never be able to compete with.
Don’t give up; but knowing this lets you know who to start building relationships with in middle/high school- and WHERE to start; because it starts this early…
Yes I’m bitter, this lending & credit environment is absolutely a scam & if you’re not connected you’re relgated to surviving. So basically, don’t focus on property, focus on being a financier… you’ll be in the right rooms, where the only color that matters is green..atork
