Sun Belt demand is outpacing supply.
We're positioned at the source.

The fastest-growing cities in America are running out of entitled, builder-ready land. WDM Capital systematically identifies, controls, and entitles that land β€” before the builders even know it's available.

Sun Belt Housing Shortage

Millions of new residents are flowing into Texas and the Southeast. Homebuilders can't move fast enough. Entitled land is the bottleneck β€” and we control it.

6 High-Growth Markets

Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Atlanta, and Northwest Arkansas. Each a high-conviction bet on demographic trends, infrastructure investment, and employment growth.

Systematic Acquisition

Proprietary deal flow through seller networks, municipal intelligence, and AI-assisted land screening. We don't wait for listings β€” we source before the market moves.

Source. Control. Entitle. Exit.

Four disciplined steps. Zero partner capital at risk. Every deal structured so that bank financing β€” not partner equity β€” funds the acquisition.

Source

Off-market land identified through proprietary networks, AI-assisted screening, and on-the-ground relationships in each target market.

Control

Secure the parcel under contract with minimal earnest money. Investor or bank capital covers acquisition β€” partners bring the deal, not the dollars.

Entitle

Navigate zoning, permitting, and regulatory approvals. Each step of entitlement increases land value β€” often dramatically β€” before a single shovel hits the ground.

Exit

Sell to national or regional homebuilders who pay premium prices for ready-to-build land. Target margins 20%+. Target velocity: 4–6 deals per quarter.

Zero Partner Capital at Risk

Every acquisition is structured with 100% bank or investor financing. WDM Capital partners contribute deal flow, expertise, and execution β€” not personal capital.

Six markets. One thesis.

Every market was selected for demographic tailwinds, constrained supply, and structural demand from builders. These aren't bets β€” they're positions.

Built by operators. Run by conviction.

Three partners. Three disciplines. One strategy. We've structured the team so that capital, deals, and execution never compete β€” they compound.

Mike Duley

Deal Architect
"Structures deals others can't see." Mike's expertise lies in finding the hidden angles β€” off-market parcels, creative control structures, and deal terms that protect investors while maximizing upside.

Michael Ward

Capital & Investor Relations
"Has raised millions with zero partner capital at risk. Proven track record of 100% bank-financed acquisitions." Michael brings institutional-grade capital strategy to every transaction.

Bobby Moats

Operations & Technology
"Deploys AI to run the back office of a 30-person firm with a 3-person team." Bobby built systems that give WDM Capital an asymmetric operational advantage β€” faster, leaner, and more precise than traditional land firms.

The model, in plain terms.
