Developing a plan to take a piece of land and develop on it takes a lot of strategy. What exactly do you want to accomplish? Is it a higher revenue or is it to create a community or is it to advance a goal? You know it’s one of those things, I just got done with my capstone in murals and I really learned a lot about the importance of a certain project and why people do it. Companies, investors and city governments will not spend 50,000$ on a mural for no reason, it has to serve a purpose and when you develop a piece of land it is creating a project that you would see come out over time. So it all depends on what exactly you want to accomplish and how to accomplish it.
1. Real estate strategy and its history
Developing a plan to take a piece of land and develop on it takes a lot of strategy. What
exactly do you want to accomplish? Is it a higher revenue or is it to create a community
or is it to advance a goal? You know it’s one of those things, I just got done with my
capstone in murals and I really learned a lot about the importance of a certain project
and why people do it. Companies, investors and city governments will not spend
50,000$ on a mural for no reason, it has to serve a purpose and when you develop a
piece of land it is creating a project that you would see come out over time. So it all
depends on what exactly you want to accomplish and how to accomplish it.
Mennonite communities for example want to accomplish building a community of other
mennonites to live in peace and away from the rest of the public, so as to be able to
control the community, have them pay rent for living there and creating a community
that is purely mennonites. Similar to other communities like for example Amish as well
where they develop for the sole purpose of creating a homogenous society that is far
away from a heterogenous big city. The Old ways of “Mormonism” a term that should be
long gone now used to have a very similar situation in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s
and eventually the church became the church of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints and
became more of a religious non profit organization similar to baptist churches and 7th
day adventists. So there really was an evolution that took place in the Mormon church
that went from being exclusive to being inclusive. The church of Jesus Christ Latter Day
2. Saints has churches and temples all over the world and to this day serves a church
similar to the Roman Catholic Church in Vatican City, so it’s really not a cult although in
the beginning it had cult like methods of building on real estate and trying to do what
communities today do.
So coming into it in a lot of ways though real estate can also be for political gains and
other kinds of ways. So really it’s important to understand. Discussing more of an
ideological gain, George Lincoln Rockwell was an American who tried to spread the
ideas of national socialism to the public of America during the 1950’s. He was eventually
assassinated but his followers went on to start communities throughout America where
the goal was creating an “all white” community on the idea that eventually it would lead
to a white “ethno-state”. So to understand a bit more into this idea groups that have
similar goals, especially in New England, tend to be Blood Tribe who the leader recently
bought land in Maine for around 25,000$ in order to create a commune that focuses on
paramilitary activity.
So to understand a bit more about its history both recent and non recent we also have to
look at strategies. What needs to be understood is that Black Lives Matter is not in any
way like this nor is the Democratic Party or the Republican Party. There might be
private members of those groups who may be thinking like that but the agendas of these
parties are more about spreading a message. So really you have to understand the
difference between an organized and thought out strategic accumulation of land that
creates a purpose and for example more of a group of people with a message that looks
3. to spread it. So before reading more upon my blog please understand that this focus is
purely on methodology and strategy and not about ideology. Although we may go over
ideology the only reason why we would is to understand and create an example of how
they use methods to build their goals.
This blog will go more into how real estate is like a chess game and how to use
demographics, economics and sociological factors to financially gain or impact an area.
