Hey Chris!
A note from a weekly reader and fellow builder 🙂
Great work on the newsletter! To me, this is genuinely the best content in the land space right now - there's a lot of it out there, but yours is the only one I open immediately and wait for.

"We've worked with Serious Land Capital for a few different matters over the last few years. I can always count on Chris and his team to underwrite and review deals with the utmost detail and integrity. I trust his team so much with their work that when needing to train my comping team on advanced comping and underwriting practices, I reached out, and he and his team were able to structure a custom 8-week program that trained my compers to fill in the skill gaps they were experiencing. Chris is a stand-up guy, and I'd recommend him and his team for funding, JV partnership, and any other land investing-related matters."
Josh Pierce
CEO | Higher Ground Land
"I worked with Chris and his team for nearly a year on a tough land deal. We had issues with title, seller skepticism, and many other times where we were unsure where the outcome would be given the scenario at hand. They were always a great resource for information, as well as guidance given their experience in the field dealing with many different situations. Thankfully we worked together to secure the acquisition, and then an almost immediate resale netting close to $100,000 in profit that most investors dream about.
I would highly recommend any serious investor in land look at Chris and his team for partnership opportunities. They are more knowledgeable and more capable than anyone else in the field, and they hold up their end throughout the entire deal."

"Huge thanks to Chris for helping us fund one of our first land deals. The quick communication and support made the whole process a breeze, and can’t wait to work together on our next deal. Would definitely recommend!"

“Hi Chris, I read your article on Recession and Selectivity and thought it was the most intelligent land investing article I've ever read. My business partner is a licensed surveyor and together we own a operation out of the Midwest. We're currently funding deals internally but I'd still love to learn more about Serious Land Capital. If you want to chat sometime let me know.”
James "Coby" Shaw
“After reading Chris’ latest post, I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for the opportunity of collaborating with him. Chris’ expertise is not just instrumental in securing funding but also acts as a guiding light, enabling me to get a second opinion and avoid inferior deals. Thanks to Chris, I’ve been spared sleepless nights wondering if I’ve made the right decision on a deal.”

“Completely agree! Having a second opinion from someone with experience in this field is invaluable. I’ve only submitted one deal to him, but he was able to explain exactly why he couldn’t fund me — and saved me from making a huge mistake!”

Thank you reviewing the property. Really cool live show. I will be watching them all.
Learned a valuable lesson. I was told the Land Portal comps are the end all be all. Not the case. Great info.
My new goal is to get a deal that you would LOVE to fund.
We will be in touch.”
