Land Isn't Made In China: Why Not All Real Estate is a Bad Investment in This Market

The headlines are loud right now:

“Real Estate is in Trouble.”
“Construction Costs Explode Overnight.”
“Luxury Deals Collapse.”

And honestly?
Some of it is true.

Tariffs on steel, aluminum, and Chinese goods have sent construction costs through the roof.
Global markets lost $6.6 trillion in value in just 48 hours after sweeping trade policies were announced.

Luxury real estate deals have stalled, collapsed, or been abandoned altogether—with buyers and foreign investors suddenly pulling out of the U.S. market.

But here's the thing:

Not all real estate is a bad investment.
You just have to know where to look.

Why Land is Different

Land doesn’t come from China.
It isn’t reliant on foreign capital, global supply chains, or cheap imported materials.
And it isn’t affected by short-term interest rate swings the same way construction-heavy assets are.

When you buy land—and better yet, when you entitle land—you’re investing in something real, finite, and foundational.
You’re investing in the supply side of America’s future housing, not in speculative towers or risky luxury flips.

Why Balcomie Capital Focuses on Land

At Balcomie Capital, our Income Fund is laser-focused on hard assets that aren't swinging wildly with global politics or rate hikes:

• Land Entitlement: Buying land and securing entitlements so it can be sold to national builders at a premium.
• Residential Development: Targeted projects in supply-constrained markets.
• Hard Money Lending: Loans backed by real collateral—land and residential assets—not empty promises.

Real Returns, Not Speculation

While luxury markets shake and developers scramble for financing, we’re delivering a 10% annual return, paid monthly, backed by real dirt and real demand.

No Wall Street rollercoasters.
No waiting 7 years for a speculative exit.
No hoping foreign investors don't bail.

Your first payout could arrive 30 days after investing—with the option to withdraw your capital after 18 months.

If you're sitting on cash, ask yourself:
Would you rather bet on overpriced portfolios?
Or on the land that America’s future homes will be built on?
