In this episode, we bring together two very different yet equally determined land investors, Anne Danielson and Larry Jarnigo, to uncover the realities of building a land business that fits your life. Anne runs Danielson Land Co remotely with her sister Mary, taking on select subdivides and flips each year. Larry, a former corporate professional, goes full speed ahead with a goal of 25–30 deals annually, chasing strong returns and new development opportunities.
We explore their contrasting business models, from Anne’s targeted, partnership-driven approach to Larry’s high-volume, independent strategy. They share what bad advice they’ve ignored, how their marketing channels evolved from mass mail to laser-focused outreach, and why local expertise is worth more than any software. Along the way, we dig into the dynamics of working with (or without) a partner, the skills they’ve carried over from past careers, and how they’re adapting to slower market conditions without losing momentum.
They leave us with grounded, practical advice for new investors: move carefully, choose quality over quantity, and build strong relationships with local brokers.
Key Topics:
-How two investors built very different land business models that work for them
-The bad advice they avoided and the marketing strategies that actually deliver
-Why partnerships work for some and not for others
-How past careers shaped their investing mindset and skills
-Adapting to slower markets while protecting profitability
-The importance of quality properties, local expertise, and trusted relationships
