Episode notes
Land's Strategic Advantages
- Land offers more optionality than houses because you can rezone, subdivide, lease, or sell portions for higher per-acre prices.
- Lower institutional competition and creative exits like owner financing raise margins and speed.
Subdivide To Boost Velocity
- Use minor subdivides and acreage bands to increase per-acre exit prices and velocity.
- Target mixes of parcel sizes to avoid flooding small rural markets and sell faster.
First Deal From Cold Calls
- Clay's first real estate deal came from pulling a delinquent high-equity absentee list and using cold calls and a dialer.
- He wholesaled the property locally and made about $4,000, which built his confidence.
