Episode Details

Brandon Cobb went from getting fired to managing $22M in land development — and breaks down exactly how he did it and what almost wiped him out.

In this episode of RealDealChat, Jack Hoss sits down with Brandon Cobb, fund manager and land development coach at Learn Land Development, to unpack one of the most underutilized strategies in real estate investing.

Brandon shares the full journey:

1. How getting fired from medical device sales launched his entrepreneurial path
2. The three phases of land development — entitlement, development, and building
3. His golden rule: don't buy land until all approvals are in place (and the seven-figure lesson he learned the hard way)
4. Why 600+ units in the pipeline doesn't require a massive team
5. How he pivoted from vertical integration to a strategic partner model
6. Why raising private capital is easier than most investors think
7. How he uses custom GPTs for due diligence, zoning reviews, and contract analysis
8. The biohacking habits (cold plunge, no alcohol, Whoop tracking) that fuel his performance
9. His free 8-hour Land Development 101 course at learnlanddevelopment.com

This episode is for:

1. Investors looking to move beyond flipping and rentals
2. Operators with existing cash flow who want to scale into development
3. Anyone curious how to raise private capital for land deals
4. Entrepreneurs tired of being bottlenecked by overhead and employees
