About this course

Land has no rent roll, so diligence and exit planning matter more. Learn the checklist land investors use, how zoning and utilities change value, and the strategies used to profit from land — from seller-financed notes to entitlement plays.

What you will learn

  • Complete a land due diligence checklist
  • Assess zoning, access and utility availability
  • Compare buy-and-hold, subdivide and entitle strategies
  • Structure seller-financed land sales
