The Land Game Is Shifting: Inside a Real Entitlement Deal | Ep 311

In this episode, an entitlement deal in the Western US is structured to convert an eight acre parcel into a fully platted 36 home site project, with a national home builder already locked under an LOI. The underlying land runs roughly $2M against a $4M builder LOI, with all-in soft costs of $200K to $300K. Serious Land Capital funds only the soft costs, tranched to milestones, in exchange for a 20% preferred return that accelerates to a 100% preferred (a 2x) on close plus a portion of the promote.

Louisiana Subdivide: The Land Deal That Tested Our Underwriting | Ep 310

In this episode, the disposition of a $475K Louisiana minor subdivision (three 10-11 acre parcels) finally closes after nearly a year on market, with all three lots under contract following a collapsed second-half 2025 real estate market. The deal moved from a base case underwriting of $29K PPA down to fire-sale pricing, ultimately delivering a projected 1.17x net multiple to investors after aggressive price cuts and back-to-back bidding wars.

Inside the SLC Chat: Building an AI Underwriting Brain | Ep 309

In this episode, the build of SLC Chat (Serious Land Capital's proprietary underwriting AI) gets dissected, from architecture decisions to API economics. The product is positioned against off-the-shelf LLMs that miscompare land deals because they lack proprietary data and nuanced pricing formulas. Total build cost came in around $60 and half a week of solo work.
