The short version, then the substance.
Key Takeaways
- The growth-path thesis
- Infill inside the loops
- Financing dirt
The growth-path thesis. The metro adds people relentlessly, and the dirt in front of that growth appreciates before any building happens. The I-35 corridor northeast, the far West Side, and the 281 north spine are the classic paths.
Infill inside the loops. Vacant lots in established neighborhoods skip the speculation: utilities exist, comps exist, demand exists. Burned-out and condemned structures are land deals wearing a disguise.
Financing dirt. Banks barely touch land, which keeps competition thin for those who can fund it. Asset-based land loans with conservative sizing and a defined exit, a build, an entitlement, or a builder sale, make the patient money work.
The South Texas angle. Averlend underwrites this every week in San Antonio and across Bexar County. If you are working a deal in Alamo Heights or anywhere else in the metro, the theory above comes with a local desk attached: see our San Antonio lending page or send the deal directly.
