Target Markets

California's Central Valley Corridor

We build where Bay Area wages meet Valley housing costs. A data-driven approach to the most undersupplied housing market in California.

The thesis

Commuter Corridor Thesis

Bay Area workers earning $120K+ are priced out of $1.2M Bay Area homes. They commute to the Valley where $500K buys new construction. This income-housing gap is the engine.

Supply Constraint

CEQA, water rights, and permitting delays limit new supply. Cities like Patterson have more demand than entitled lots. Builders who can navigate permits hold a structural advantage.

Attainable Price Point

We build homes between $400K-$600K. This is the highest-volume, highest-demand segment. FHA-eligible, conventional-qualifying, and below the conforming limit.

Data-Validated Selection

Every market is scored using our Nimble Attainability Index. Nine metrics across income, supply, affordability, and market dynamics. No gut-feel decisions.

1

Market Scoring

Run Nimble Attainability Index across Central Valley markets. Nine metrics including income-to-price ratio, permit pipeline, days on market, and employment growth.

2

Deal Sourcing

Automated scraping of MLS, auction, and distress records. Lead scoring identifies properties matching our buy-box criteria before they hit the open market.

3

Underwriting

Every deal runs through a 10-point scoring rubric. Acquisition cost, construction budget, ARV, market signal, and comps are validated algorithmically. GO/CAUTION/PASS recommendation.

4

Entity Formation

PropCo LLC created for each deal. Capital structure, investor allocations, and loan terms defined before the first dollar moves.

5

Execution & Tracking

Construction managed through FluidCM with real-time budget tracking. Cost variances flagged automatically. Draw schedules tied to milestone completion.

6

Exit & Distribution

Sale proceeds flow through PropCo waterfall. Investors receive preferred return first, then profit split. Full accounting in ERPNext with per-property cost centers.

What sets us apart

Vertically Integrated

We don't outsource critical-path work. In-house construction crews mean we control schedule, quality, and cost. The true cost of a vendor includes their delays.

Data-First Decisions

Market selection, deal scoring, and exit timing all driven by live data. Scraper infrastructure monitors 6 counties, 50+ metrics, updated daily.

Local Expertise

We live and build in these communities. Permit relationships, inspector familiarity, and subcontractor networks built over years, not months.
