Paulson Real Estate Recovery Fund Post author By Garrick van Buren Post date January 28, 2011 Categories In America 3.0, Economics Brilliant strategy. Just brilliant. “One of the fund’s main strategies is to buy undeveloped tracts of land that already have environmental and building permits. Roads, sewers and electricity may also be in place, but not homes, according to one of the people familiar with the fund.
