We’re Texas-first land operators. We buy, subdivide, and entitle the tracts other folks tiptoe around—then exit clean. Sellers get multiple offers in writing. Investors get milestones, not maybes. Builders get paper they can break ground on. No fluff, no courses—just deals that close.
Here’s how we operate:
We drive out, shake hands, walk the fence line, and talk to the neighbors. We solve access, utilities, and drainage, publish timelines before we spend money, and size lots the way buyers actually buy. That’s how dirt moves, even when markets flex.
We purchase the dirt, do the work that de-risks it, and execute a planned exit to the right buyer pool—end-users, builders, or capital partners.
Survey, driveway permits or easements, utility CCNs & capacity letters (or credible on-site plans), drainage concepts, and deed restrictions that help lots sell.
Capital comes in by milestone: surveys → access/utility letters → plats → launch. No blank checks. Multiple exits on purpose (wholesale, paper lots, or packaged for builders).
A couple years ago everyone said AI was five years out from shaking up white-collar work. We didn’t buy it. We felt the clock speeding up, not slowing down. So we doubled down on human deals—the kind you can’t automate: long drives, gate codes, handshakes, walking land with the owner and their dog, then building a plan that respects the land and pencils for the buyer.
We’ve taken punches: partners who flaked, deals poached, dollars we’ll never see again. But we learned the sequence that wins: solve access, get utility clarity in writing, respect drainage, write restrictions that expand the buyer pool, and communicate like professionals. That’s Land Kings.
Our Cadence
Underwrite the way a bank underwrites: comps by tract size, lot-loan viability, absorption sensitivity, and multiple exits mapped in advance.
Milestone funding only: surveys → access & utility letters → plats → launch.
Reporting that respects your time: quarterly updates with budget vs actuals and vendor docs attached.
We plan exits around absorption and utility reality: direct resale to end-users, builder lot packages, or retail where demand is deepest—all after we’ve acquired and de-risked the property.
Alignment & Honesty
We publish base, downside, and upside with specifics—what would stretch timelines (wet utilities, off-site ROW, agency sequencing), and what shortens them (existing wells, shallow drives, clean plat paths). Surprises get communicated, not hidden.
Walk the dirt. We don’t buy from the couch. We’ll shake your hand, walk the tract, and talk through history you won’t find on a map.
Two offers in writing. Cash (fastest close; we typically cover standard closing costs and clear back taxes/liens at close) and Terms (higher total net; interest-only, balloon at maturity).
De-risk the deal. Open title; order survey; confirm water/wastewater path (CCN & capacity/intent letters, or well/septic feasibility); model sightlines for driveways; sketch drainage.
Close clean. Cash deals commonly finish in 15–30 business days. Entitlement deals run a milestone timeline we publish so you always know what’s next.
“Landlocked” on paper → driveway permits, shared drives, or easements.
Unknown utilities → provider research, CCNs, letters, or on-site design.
Back taxes/liens → priced in and cleared at close.
Family tracts & probate → we coordinate the paperwork.
What our restrictions look like
Barndo and shop-homes OK.
Modern manufactured allowed with standards.
One RV tied to permitted septic.
Setbacks that match septic spacing.
Simple fence/drive standards so appraisers stay happy.
If you’ve got frontage with sightline issues, CCN confusion, flood fringe, or a title hairball, bring it. We’ll build a presentable plan—access, utility letters, drainage concept, and restrictions a lender will bless—so your seller and your credit committee stop flinching.
2–500+ acres
• partial frontage or recorded access gaps
• unknown utility providers/CCNs
• OSSF plays or near-term sewer potential
• flood fringe with reasonable mitigation
• odd shapes and heir-ship situations
**Lubbock / High Plains → existing wells are gold; we know how to leverage them.
Our main focus is the Texas Triangle (I-35, I-10, I-45), Hill Country, High Plains, Gulf Coast, and corridors where buyers and lenders are active.
We take select Sun Belt shots that look and feel like Texas from an absorption and entitlement standpoint.
