Status quo<\/strong> – Most small time farmers are living their life oblivious to the macro trends heading their way. They are also unsophisticated and secretive about their own situation. Happy where they are and with the modest incomes they are enjoying today and have earned for generations, these owners are those whose farms we are a buying as they retire.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\t\tJoin Us as We Invest Even More in Farmland\n\t<\/h2>\n\t
Though farming may be an unfamiliar form of real estate investing to you, there are many parallels with asset classes you already understand, like multifamily apartments for example.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Our acquisition of farms with good water supplies from farmers who have owned them for generations is similar to buying an apartment building in the path of progress with high employment and growing population from an owner who has maintained their buildings well but who has made no upgrades over the last 30 years.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
That 1990’s vintage apartment building owned by one owner is an ideal acquisition because in many cases the landlord has not updated kitchens or bathrooms, has added no amenities, and has kept rents artificially low because either they don’t know what market rents are and do not want to invest in the building anyway because they are happy with the as-is income they are getting.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In the multifamily apartment world this is called ‘value add’ investing and it is the same approach we are taking to buying farms.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The fundamental difference between apartments (everyone needs a place to live) and farms (everyone needs to eat) is that the apartment market is awash with thousands of both sophisticated and unsophisticated buyers making the asset class highly competitive and consequently overpriced.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In farming, we are consolidating a highly fragmented industry in which there are very few competitors, the market is inefficient (farmland is still sold on a comparative sales basis and not based on income potential (seriously!), and that is growing exponentially as demand (population growth) expands yet supply (arable land) declines.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In short, we are consolidating a highly fragmented industry by buying value-add real estate in areas directly in the path of growth where income from crop sales and values from increased demand will earn us ongoing yields on our investments while building wealth from land appreciation over time.<\/p>\n
