Expanding into Property Management

Recognizing the challenges faced by new home buyers, such as home affordability concerns, a growing desire for more space, economic uncertainties, and fluctuating interest rates, we are strategically expanding into single-family-rental homes and property management.

The modern dynamics of remote and hybrid work environments have further accentuated the need for spacious and well-suited rental properties. To meet this demand, we have taken proactive steps by reserving over 200 lots in Sky Ranch and embarking on the construction and leasing of single-family homes. These homes are for long-term rental purposes, forming the foundation of our Single Family Rental segment.

Our single-family-rental model is designed to yield high-margin revenue. By retaining ownership of the land and utilities, collaborating with our national homebuilders to construct homes that become part of our portfolio, and accessing low-cost mortgage capital, we maximize the leverage on our earnings. This strategic approach not only aligns with contemporary housing trends but also positions us to deliver enhanced shareholder value.

As we venture into property management through single-family rentals, we remain committed to providing quality living spaces that cater to the needs of today's renters. This expansion reflects our adaptability to market shifts and underscores our dedication to innovation in the real estate sector.

Our Strong Portfolio of Mineral Acres

Our strategic asset portfolio extends beyond real estate and water resources, encompassing a robust collection of mineral acres. With ownership of over 10,000 net mineral acres, the majority situated in southern Colorado, we have also own a significant—nearly 700 acres—in the oil-rich Niobrara Formation within the Southern Wattenberg Field.

This mineral acreage position grants us the opportunity to capitalize on mineral royalty revenues derived from wells drilled on and pooled with our mineral acres, particularly in and around the Sky Ranch property. The Southern Wattenberg Field, known for its oil-rich resources, enhances the overall value proposition for our shareholders.  This diversified approach underscores our commitment to building a comprehensive and resilient asset portfolio to contribute to the overall success of our company.
