What is Land Banking?

Training Session:

Foreclosure and Land Banking: The Bigger Picture
Daily reminders whether through the media or a walk around our neighborhoods highlight the dire consequences that mounting foreclosures and the accelerating housing crisis are having on our communities. As vacant homes drag down property values, increase blight, and shrink tax bases, revitalization efforts are stalled across the country. For many cities and regions this is a new challenge, but for others, this new crisis compounds longer-term disinvestment. This seminar will walk you through cutting-edge strategies to link property acquisition, including through tax foreclosure, with inventory management and disposition. You will learn about land bank models used in various markets, the basics of formation, execution of programming, real estate development, working within the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, and much more.
