Land-light homebuilders sacrifice margin and add risk
He criticizes the homebuilding industry's land-light financing trend. Homebuilders move land off balance sheet into land banks, pay 10-15% interest and put 10-15% down, with takedown schedules and escalators, instead of borrowing unsecured at 5-6%. This can cost 6-8% extra annually, sacrifice roughly 3-4% of margin, and add procyclical pressure when demand slows, making land-light structures unattractive.
