In this episode, we take a behind-the-scenes look at 1614 Alcott, a build-to-rent infill development near Durham’s Duke Park neighborhood that demonstrates how conviction is built through location, proven data, and a clear path to execution.
What began as a property with one existing home became an opportunity to subdivide the site, resell the renovated house, and create two new buildable lots for a pair of small-lot duplexes. We discuss how trusted relationships helped BETTER secure the deal, why double frontage simplified the site plan, and how comparable projects, strategic financing, and a two-phase development approach helped reduce risk while creating the potential for long-term value.
Whether you're an active developer, a passive investor, or simply interested in how successful real estate projects are evaluated, this episode offers an inside look at the disciplined thinking that drives every BETTER investment decision.
