Among the new services to be offered by FFB are financing and joint ventures for land acquisitions and single-family subdivisions. A third fund of $100 million is currently being offered.

About The Fund For Builders

The primary business of FFB is to purchase and leaseback model homes built by prominent national homebuilders. In addition, FFB may participate in land joint ventures for subdivision development. The major thrust at present will be the purchase and leaseback of the model homes. The leaseback affords the builders the opportunity to continue using the model homes until the development is complete, at which time the models will be sold. Investors in the Fund have the opportunity to diversify their investments into real estate by participating in the robust residential real estate market. Demographics show this market should be strong for years to come as the US is expected to add 100 million people in the next 35 years. FFB believes this business creates a “win-win” opportunity for both builder and investor.
