The Real Deal

Questions that separate the pros from the pretenders

Q1 What happens if you can't sell the land?

Then we hold it longer and you learn why we underwrite for cash flow, not just quick flips.

Here's the reality:

  • • Every deal has 3 exit strategies built in
  • • We price holding costs into the acquisition
  • • We only buy land we'd want to own for 5+ years

We've held properties for 18 months and still delivered 22% annualized returns. The key is buying right, not just selling fast.

Q2 How do I know you're not just another land flipper with a fancy website?

Ask us for our last 5 deals. Ask for the documentation. Ask to speak to our investors.

Documentation

Every deal has a paper trail you can follow

The fancy website just means we care about presentation. The real proof is in the paperwork and the people.

Q3 What's your actual success rate?

But here's what matters more: we've never lost investor principal. We've had deals go sideways, deals take longer, deals that tested our patience.

The 13% that didn't close? We returned every dollar with documentation showing exactly why and what we learned.

Inside the Machine

How we actually find, evaluate, and execute deals

Q4 Walk me through your actual deal process
1

Sourcing

Off-market: direct mail, relationships, courthouse records. On-market: MLS mispricings, expired listings, motivated sellers.

2

Due Diligence

Title search, survey review, zoning verification, utility access, environmental checks, comparable analysis.

3

Structure

Purchase, option, or assignment. Each has different risk profiles and capital requirements.

4

Execution

Legal documentation, capital deployment, holding cost management, exit strategy implementation.

Timeline: 30-90 days from identification to closing, depending on complexity and capital structure.

Q5 How do you evaluate if a piece of land is worth buying?

We have a 27-point checklist. Here are the deal-breakers:

🚩 Red Flags

  • • Cloudy title history
  • • Environmental issues
  • • No legal access
  • • Wetlands designation

✅ Green Lights

  • • Clear title chain
  • • Road frontage
  • • Utility availability
  • • Growth trajectory

The magic happens when we find land that's "boring" to most people but valuable to the right buyer. That's where the margins live.
