I Add Value To Land With Homes And Profit (Podcast Ep#174)

Podcast

174



Jessey sits down with Robert Howell, a former event marketer who has worked eight Olympics and now builds “land home packages” for a living. Robert buys raw land, puts a new mobile home on it, and turns the whole project around in about four to six months.

Robert shares how he went from the Tokyo Olympics delay to buying his first mobile home park, and why he decided to be the mobile home expert instead of chasing every shiny opportunity. He walks through his timeline from due diligence to listing, what he looks for in a lot, and why paying closer to retail for land still works when you add the home.

They also get into how Grokbot is speeding up his property search and underwriting, why he moved away from cold calling toward direct mail (including sending contracts), and what buyers look like in today’s market. Robert also tells the story behind the Land Home League and how he’s helping others get started.

What You’ll Learn:

  • How a land home package works, from closing day to a finished home ready to list

  • What to look for in a lot, including acreage, road frontage, and due diligence checks

  • Why adding a home lets you pay closer to retail for land and still profit

  • How direct mail, including sending contracts, became Robert’s top source of deals
