Jan Jazniak lives in Fort Worth.

His projects are in West Texas.

That's an eight and a half hour drive.

He makes it all the time.

This morning before our podcast he was out marking water well locations on a property.

That's what boots on the ground actually looks like — not a social media post, but an eight hour drive to check GPS pins for a groundwater district.

The willingness to physically show up is a competitive advantage that doesn't scale.

And that's exactly what makes it valuable.

Most land developers in Texas cluster around Dallas-Fort Worth.

That's where the social media presence is, that's where the deals get talked about.

Jon Jazniak went the opposite direction. West Texas.

Almost nobody is touching it.

He's got his own giant swath of land with minimal competition.

While everyone fights over the same DFW deals, he's operating in a market he essentially has to himself.

When margins compress because everyone's chasing the same thing

The people who found their own lane are the ones still growing.

People ask Jon Jazniak all the time: why do you stay in Texas when states like Tennessee and Alabama have way easier regulations for subdividing?

His answer is simple.

He's been in Texas since he was 18.

He knows the market, the people, the counties.

That knowledge took years to build and it compounds.

I think hyper-focus is one of the most underrated advantages in this business.

Going deep in one market beats spreading thin across easy ones.

Are you going deep or going wide right now?

Robin called out one of the most common mistakes he sees in the land business — and I think a lot of investors are making it right now without realizing it.

You get on the phone. The seller says yes. You hang up excited. You send the contract later.

And then… nothing. The moment is gone.

The move: send the contract while they're still on the phone, then say "Hey, I just sent it — can you open it real quick? I just want to make sure I spelled your name right."

Suddenly you're in a contract situation. Don't let a verbal yes walk out the door without paper behind it.

Brandon explained something in this clip that's one of those things you can't unhear once you know it.

When you ask for something and give a reason — any reason — people are much more likely to say yes. Even if the reason isn't particularly compelling.

We've built this into how Maya asks for email addresses at the end of every call: "What's your email so I can send you the property report?" converts better than just asking.

Use this on every ask you make — on the phone, in a text, in an email. It works.

Here's something interesting that showed up in our Q1 data:

Our system is the same for every client. Same cold calls, same AI qualification, same lead summaries.

But some clients close at 0.9% and some close at 1.7% — nearly double.

The difference? Two things:

1. Which counties they're targeting
2. How good they are on the phone

That's it. Everything else is controlled.
These two are on the operator.

Start there before blaming anything else.

Here's a number from our Q1 data that most people hiring cold callers need to know:

Our 90-day retention rate is 53%.

About half of every cold caller we bring on will leave within 90 days. And we're good at onboarding.

The hidden cost isn't just turnover. It's the training time, the ramp time, the management time for people who leave before they ever produce.

The practical takeaway: hire 2-3 at once, let attrition happen naturally, keep the one who stays. Build that into your ops model from day one.

Robin made a point on this episode that I think every land investor needs to hear:

Every acquisition method works. Text messages, cold calling, direct mail, blind offers — they all have deals to show for it.

The real question isn't which one works. It's where you want to do the work.

Text campaigns have high response rates but you end up sorting a lot. Blind offers require upfront data work but the people who respond are serious. Cold calling gets you into a live conversation fast.

There's no shortcut. The work exists in every model. You just get to choose where it lives.

What method are you using right now?

Jon Jazniak's first subdivision was an accident.

He was flipping land and doing owner finance notes back in 2018. A guy responded to a direct mail piece wanting to sell 534 acres out in West Texas.

Jon looked into it, subdivided it, made a couple hundred thousand dollars — and knew right then that subdividing was the most scalable model in land investing.

He barely flipped anything after that.

Sometimes your biggest business pivot comes from a deal you didn't see coming. The question is whether you recognize it when it shows up.

05/16/2026

I had Jon Jazniak on the podcast this week and the first thing he told me is he doesn't do flips anymore. At all.

His company Jazzland is 100% subdivisions now — multi-million dollar projects, building roads, doing water infrastructure, the whole thing.

He's been in land for ten years and made that transition a few years back when he realized subdividing was the most scalable model in the business.

I think every land business eventually moves up-market. The quick flips get you started. The bigger plays are where the real scale lives.

What stage are you at right now?

05/14/2026

Here's something I see constantly in land operations that most people never talk about:

Getting 100 leads is easy. But then what?

Someone has to sort through all 100 to find the 3 worth actually getting on the phone with. That's the work. That's where all the hours go.

Most people either do it themselves (and wonder why they're exhausted) or hire a lead manager (and wonder why their margins are thin).

That filtering process; the part between capturing leads and closing deals is the actual business.

And most people treat it like it doesn't exist.
