Chuck was one of the few people who raised his hand, and since then, Chuck and I have spent a fair amount of time together as he’s shown me the ropes of how minor land divisions work in his market (which has plenty of differences from how I’ve seen it work in other markets around the US). One of the biggest things I’ve learned job shadowing subdividers around the country is that the expertise a person develops with subdividing in one state doesn’t always transfer to the next state or even the next county over. I wanted to get Chuck on the podcast to talk more about his story and how his subdividing business works. I also wanted to talk about partnering with other land investors, either as the operator, doing the hands-on work, or as a funder providing the capital. It’s a topic that goes hand-in-hand with subdividing in many ways because many subdivides are naturally bigger deals that require much more money to acquire and do the work of subdividing. As I’ve been developing a solid framework for how I fund land deals for other land investors, Chuck has given me some great feedback about what he’s seen in the industry and what he wants to see from the operator’s side. 00:00:00 - Introduction to Chuck Dreison 00:04:20 - Chuck’s First Subdivision 00:07:45 - Challenges in Remote Subdivisions 00:11:31 - Typical Subdividing Costs 00:14:12 - What About Water? 00:16:28 - Topography and Zoning 00:22:50 - Financing Deals 00:25:18 - How Chuck Funds Deals 00:34:09 - Investor Payouts and Fees 00:38:48 - Terms vs. Cash 00:41:38 - How to Find a Trustworthy Funder 00:46:19 - Pros and Cons of a Land Fund 00:51:27 - Is It Stressful to Manage a Fund? 00:53:12 - Closing Questions #sethwilliams #chuckdreison #realestate #retipster #retipsterpodcast #realestatepodcast #landinvesting #landinvestingpodcast #subdivisions #minorlanddivision #realestateeducation #investmentstrategies #partneringinrealestate #landsubdividing #landflipping #sellerfinancing #ownerfinancing #realestatefunding #propertyinvestment #duediligence #landdivision #investorrelations #realtyinvestment #realestateentrepreneur #financialfreedom
