Land Banking for Pre-Development Real Estate
Iman Cultural Center - Community Room, 3376 Motor Ave, Los Angeles, CA, USLand Banking. Without a doubt, Land Banking is the most exciting real estate investment strategy. Land Banking is the practice of buying raw undeveloped land in the path of growth. The land must meet certain growth criteria because the criteria is the pivotal difference between a speculative land purchase and a replicable successful land investment. Most importantly, there must be a major development clearly identified within three miles of the land you’re acquiring (“Anchor”). It is called an anchor because that major development acts as an “anchor” to future development surrounding that major development. This is crucial because land banking near anchors significantly reduces hold periods and provides greater profits. If this type of investing excites you, don’t miss our LAC-REIA meeting, because we have the number #1 authority on Land Banking.
Special Guest Speaker. Our guest speaker will be Christopher Meza, the leading authority on Land Banking and pre-development real estate. He is a nationally recognized speaker and best-selling author. Chris was recently the keynote speaker with Steve Forbes (Chairman and Editor-in-Chief of Forbes Magazine), at the “Success in the New Economy” conference. Christopher has been interviewed on ABC, NBC, CBS, and several FOX affiliates across the country. The point to consider is that the most people only invest in developed real estate (i.e. condos, homes, apartment buildings, hotels, shopping centers, etc.). But good judgment reveals that to make greater profits with less risk, you have to be doing something that the masses are not doing, and land banking is that strategy. Christopher will be our special guest at LAC-REIA’s February meeting. The title of Christopher’s presentation is “How to Find and Develop Pre-Development Real Estate for Land Banking.” RSVP now!
Date & Time: Thursday night, March 12, 2026, 6:30 to 9:30 pm.
Location. Iman Cultural Center, 3376 Motor Avenue, LA 90034 (between National and Palms).
