The sea of get-rich-quick investment options has thrown ashore many a surfer who thought his skills might outride the tide. Those who\u2019ve learnt from their falls are now looking to pre-development land \u2013 a secure, proven, medium to long-term investment strategy offering stable returns, according to Gary Tom, Walton\u2019s President for Asia.<\/p>\n

In business for almost 40 years, Walton<\/span> is no stranger to investors enjoying the benefits of pre-development land. For the as-yet uninitiated, pre-development land is simply this \u2013 buying strategically located land in the path of growth of future development. By following strong growth fundamentals and a thorough due diligence process to mitigate risk throughout, it is then possible to work collaboratively with the local authorities to have those lands planned and entitled for future development.<\/p>\n

Thereon begins the process of designing a master-planned community, and planning the land to its best and highest potential use. In its raw form, land is considerably cheaper when compared to that which is fully rezoned for development.<\/p>\n

Herein lies the opportunity that Walton<\/span> brings to investors with the appetite, patience and investment knowledge.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cInvestors are pragmatic and buying\u00a0today can provide a solid foundation\u00a0for the future.\u201d\u00a0– Gary Tom, President of WALTON INTERNATIONAL GROUP LTD.<\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Why it Makes Sense\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Every house, building or store today stands on what was once raw land, says Tom. \u201cOur model is based on bringing the early stage of the real estate development cycle to investors, in other words letting investors cash in on relatively low cost, undeveloped land with significant growth potential.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHong Kong\u2019s retail and institutional investors don\u2019t need much educating because the whole local economy is a property-based one. Investors here know the value of real, tangible, hard assets.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cInvestors know that land supply is an increasingly scarce commodity and the demand for it will increase as populations grow. They understand that unentitled, raw land has limited use and developable land a higher use, thereby pushing up its value. This is where Walton\u2019s expertise makes a difference,\u201d says Tom.<\/p>\n

He explains, \u201cThe average investor has neither the time, expertise nor resources to target land in the path of growth. Walton does. These kind of investments are rewarding in the long run – secure, stable and tangible and once investors reap the rewards, word spreads. That\u2019s how Walton has grown over 26 years in Asia.\u201d<\/p>\n

Why the USA? \u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Originally, a strong advocate of the Canadian market, why did Walton shift focus to America? Tom says, it\u2019s a question of growth potential and returns. \u201cAmerica\u2019s economy is strong, with strong fundamentals such as population, job growth and new home construction. Additionally, there are well adhered-to checks and balances so when you hold title, you have rights and your ownership is secured. That\u2019s our business \u2013 to protect our customers\u2019 investments,\u201d says Tom.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Why Walton, then? \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

While there are no guarantees to any investment returns, Walton does the hard and costly work of researching raw land to mitigate risk, protecting investor\u2019s interests through the entitlement process and also acts as the investor\u2019s agent to market the property for exit.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe sell these projects for our retail investors with returns projected in the range of 10-12 percent per annum. Our Asia market has been growing steadily over the last decade and much of our sales happen via word-of-mouth. Most investors realize that pre-development land is a must-have, however small, component in every portfolio.\u201d<\/p>\n

He says, investors are keen to participate because prices of land should appreciate, particularly raw land earmarked for future development.<\/p>\n

\u201cInvestors are pragmatic and buying today can provide a solid foundation for the future. This is why Walton has enjoyed so much success in Asia. I would recommend you visit our website and contact us or your Wealth Manager and start building a portfolio with Walton today. Smart investors think for themselves.\u201d Tom concludes.<\/p>\n
