Future Outlook

The company plans to continue pursuing opportunities in new single and multi-family home construction, focusing on Build to Lease properties and selling finished lots to national builders. Management is very positive about these new developments, which represent significant future earnings.

Management Comments

  • Management is very positive about these new developments.
  • The company has made the decision to change focus to better accommodate these growing trends.
  • New home development, whether Build to Lease or Finished Lots for Sale has a much greater scalability and growth potential than custom homes or elevation/renovation work.

Industry Context

The company is adapting to the extreme shortage of rental properties and the preference of lenders for Build To Lease and Improved Lots for sale developments. The company is also responding to the extraordinary amount of interest from non-traditional sources such as pension and hedge funds, insurance companies and venture capital firms to purchase completed new For Lease developments at attractive metrics, as well as the virtually unlimited demand for improved lots from national builders.

Comparison to Industry Standards

  • It's difficult to provide a precise comparison to industry standards without knowing the specific geographic market and type of residential construction Dream Homes & Development Corporation is engaged in.
  • However, the shift towards 'Build to Rent' (BTR) and selling improved lots to national builders is a recognized trend in the residential development industry, particularly in response to changing demographics and investment appetites.
  • Companies like Lennar and DR Horton are examples of national builders that actively acquire finished lots from developers.
  • In the BTR space, companies like Invitation Homes and American Homes 4 Rent are major players, focusing on single-family rentals.
  • Dream Homes' strategy aligns with this trend, but its success will depend on its ability to execute its projects efficiently and secure favorable financing terms.
  • The company's size and regional focus likely place it in a different competitive landscape than these larger national players.

Legal Proceedings

  • The Company, through one of its subsidiaries, is involved in several minor lawsuits in which it expects to prevail.
  • The Company considers the substance of these claims to be of no merit.
  • Though the Company considers these lawsuits to be frivolous, it has chosen to disclose their existence in the interest of full transparency.
  • In demonstration of its opposition to these awards, the Company is vigorously defending all cases and believes it shall prevail in court.
  • In the opinion of the Company and of its professional advisors, none of the lawsuits which the Company is currently involved in have any substantive validity or potential for material consequence to the Company.

Related Party Transactions

  • The Company formerly used the services of Dream Homes Ltd. for its personnel operations.
  • Beginning in 2024, payroll services and operations are being provided by another subsidiary of the Company.
  • For the three months ended March 31, 2025 the Company's estimated share of DHLs gross payroll and payroll taxes were $ 84,226 .
  • In January 2024, the Company issued 7,000,000 restricted shares for the forgiveness of loans to Dream Homes Ltd., a related party, for $ 105,000 .
