I dive into the fascinating world of real estate development and hospitality with Skyler Moore, the innovative force behind Modus Real Estate’s success. Skyler shares his journey, from navigating the turbulent real estate market to leading ambitious projects like the Lost Fork Base Camp in Colorado.
Skyler Moore’s entry into real estate was anything but conventional. He launched his career during the 2008 financial crisis, a time that demanded quick adaptation. With a finance degree from the University of Iowa, Skyler initially aimed for a career in investment banking. However, the economic downturn steered him towards real estate, where he found opportunities in the foreclosure market.
Building an Empire with Modus Real Estate
Skyler’s knack for buying, fixing, and flipping properties laid the foundation for Modus Real Estate. Alongside his partners, he expanded into various areas of real estate, including mortgage, brokerage, and title services. This vertical integration gave Modus greater control over the real estate process, ensuring a seamless experience for their clients.
Skyler’s love for the outdoors inspired him to explore glamping as a profitable extension of his real estate ventures. Nestled at the base of Guanella Pass in Colorado, Lost Fork Base Camp offers a unique blend of rustic charm and modern comforts. The site spans nine acres of stunning beauty, complete with a creek, aspen trees, and breathtaking views.
Developing Lost Fork Base Camp wasn’t without its challenges. Skyler recalls the complexities of zoning, water rights, and the extensive groundwork needed to bring the project to life. Yet, the vision of creating a one-of-a-kind outdoor experience kept him and his team motivated.
A Vision for the Future
As Modus Real Estate continues to grow, Skyler sees potential for further expansion in the hospitality sector, both within Colorado and beyond. He understands the delicate balance required to integrate traditional real estate with hospitality, recognizing the importance of each in the company’s diverse portfolio.
Skyler envisions a future where Modus delves deeper into attainable housing solutions while exploring new opportunities in hospitality. With the possibility of interest rates decreasing, the company is well-positioned to capitalize on emerging market trends.
