In today’s episode, I talked to Dan Haberkost, founder of Front Range Land and co-founder of Ground Up Partners, based in Colorado Springs. We discuss the basics of land investing, emphasizing the importance of focusing on specific markets and finding local experts. Dan shares his journey from managing rental properties to starting and growing his land development business.

 

Dan delves into the concept of infill land development, explaining how it involves buying and developing plots of land that are already equipped with utilities. He talks about the profitability of such projects, especially in areas where infrastructure is already in place. Dan also highlights the importance of doing a thorough research and due diligence before purchasing land.

 

The episode provides practical advice for new investors, including the importance of starting with a niche and building relationships with local experts. Dan emphasizes the need to buy land at a discount and ensure it has all necessary utilities. He also discusses the value of working with reputable contractors and the benefits of structured agreements to avoid common pitfalls in land development.
