Exclusive Deal with Builder for $1,500,000

The story

Nick is on track to do $1.5 million in revenue this year flipping land, with a team so lean that most of it goes home with him. He took this interview from Dorado, Puerto Rico, on the first real vacation of his life, with his business running the whole time.

Because Nick's story isn't a straight line. He came from construction, found land flipping in 2022, and didn't act on it. Did his first deal in 2023, made $60k to $70k that year, then stopped completely in 2024. He'll tell you himself it was the biggest mistake he ever made. When he called us for consulting this past January, he was grinding out $10k to $20k a month as a one man show, stuck in a market where his biggest possible deal was a few grand.

One phone call changed the trajectory. We looked at his business and told him to get out of the cheap production markets and never send a campaign there again. Same work, same contracts, same conversations, just more expensive dirt. He made the switch basically overnight, and he's gone from inconsistent months bouncing between $30k and $80k to consistent six figure months, spending $5k to $10k a month on marketing with two cold callers, a mail budget, and a newly hired transaction coordinator.

Builders don't want friends. They want deals.

The exclusive

Nick holds an exclusive agreement with one of the largest national home builders in the country. In his market, he is the only person they buy deals from. They asked for 100 lots and told him to just keep them coming. And he didn't get that deal by mass emailing builders or asking for friendship. He studied what they were buying, ran a targeted campaign, teed up 30 lots, and then called them with the inventory already in hand. Builders don't want friends. They want deals. Nick brought deals.

Nick is also one of the most generous people in our community. He jumps on calls with beginners who are stuck, for nothing in return, because someone once did it for him.

In this interview

  • His full operation and expenses
  • How the exclusive actually works
  • His three deal types
  • Why one buyer can be worth a million dollars in assignment fees
  • The JV deal that made him $10k off a 30 second phone call
  • His three hour workday, and his plan to delegate the whole machine while he hunts new markets

His parting advice is worth the whole video: your mindset decides your outcome, speed beats speculation, and whatever you believe about yourself, you're probably right.
