Why Land Trusts Are the New Tool for Affordable Housing

Episode 47 of The Business of Real Estate with Fexingo digs into community land trusts—a model where a nonprofit owns the land and homeowners buy only the building. Lucas and Luna explore how this structure keeps homes affordable across resales, using the Champlain Housing Trust in Burlington, Vermont as a case study. They break down the financing, the resale formula that caps price appreciation, and why institutional investors are starting to partner with CLTs. If you've wondered whether there's a scalable way to decouple land speculation from homeownership, this episode maps the mechanics, the numbers, and the trade-offs. No hype, just how the deal works. #CommunityLandTrust #AffordableHousing #ChamplainHousingTrust #BurlingtonVermont #RealEstate #Business #Podcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LandTrust #Homeownership #HousingPolicy #Nonprofit #GroundLease #ResaleFormula #HousingAffordability #InstitutionalInvestment #RealEstateStrategy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
