Few hours until The Monthly Brief. I'm going live at 7 PM EST to break down what's working in land right now. Link in bio if you haven't registered yet.

This week I’m sitting down with Ajay Sharma to unpack The Land Ladder, our framework for investors who want to actually scale, not just stay busy. We’ll cover: - The different levels of the Land Ladder - Exactly what keeps investors stuck on their current rung - How to break out into a completely new level going into this year If you’re serious about leveling up your investing game, this one’s for you. 📅 Thursday 1/22 at 1pm ET https://www.youtube.com/live/yreobFVi4Xo Drop a 🔥 if you’re coming and I’ll see you there.

Quick pause before the weekend. What’s one thing you learned this week that actually moved the needle? Land deals, systems, mindset, routines… anything that made you sharper. Drop it below.Someone here probably needs to hear it today.

When you subdivide, each new lot needs legal, usable access. If a lot is landlocked (or access is unclear), you don’t have a retail product — you have a problem. That’s why access + frontage rules must be verified before you close. What “access” actually means (simple): - Legal access: Recorded right to use a road, easement, or private drive (not a handshake). - Physical access: A vehicle can realistically reach the lot (topography, wetlands, drainage). - Marketable access: Title, buyers, and lenders are comfortable — no closing drama. 3 fast deal-killer checks (before you fall in love with the numbers): 1️⃣ Does every future lot touch a public road, or are easements / flag lots allowed? (Rules vary by county.) 2️⃣ Frontage math: If the county requires X feet per lot, don’t assume frontage can be “shared.” Verify it. 3️⃣ Private road reality: If creating one, confirm construction standards, turnarounds, and maintenance agreements. Practical checklist (save this): - Confirm legal access for every future lot (frontage, approved easement, or permitted flag lot). - Ask the county planner before closing about rules (lot size, deed split vs plat, timelines). - Budget for survey + recording fees — and legal help if easements/private roads are involved. - Underwrite time as a real cost. Profit requires patience in slow counties. - Rule of thumb: If access is “we think it’s fine,” assume it’s not fine until proven. 👇 What’s still unclear about access rules when subdividing?
