In this final part of our land development series, Neil Clements discusses the most overlooked (but essential) part of any subdivision project: utilities and improvements.

Neil breaks down how water, electricity, and sewage access can make or break your land deals, especially if you’re a land investor working on subdivisions in rural areas. We also cover the hidden costs of hydraulic studies, impact fees, and septic versus sewer options that every land flipper needs to understand.

Beyond utilities, Neil shares how simple land improvements, like clearing access paths or removing waste, can dramatically increase property value and buyer interest.

This episode is packed with practical land development tips and hard-earned lessons from someone who's done dozens of deals.

If you're serious about land investing or building out your real estate portfolio, this is one video you don't want to miss!

In this episode of The Real Deal w/ Neil Clements, Neil walks you through the final pieces of subdividing land: approvals, pricing, buildability, and pitching edge‑lot premiums.

He shares his mistakes on minor and exempt plats, from overlooking ETJs (extra‑territorial jurisdictions) to failing buildable‑lot checks, pre‑dev meetings, and the 30‑day review rule. He also explains his 3‑4 month due diligence timeline, which lots sell first, and why he chooses to “push paper” instead of building homes.

If you want to subdivide smart—sell faster, avoid legal surprises, and maximize profit—with minimal work, this episode is for you.

In this episode, Neil Clements dives into Part 2 of land subdivision basics—especially exempt and minor subdivisions. Neil breaks down how to quickly vet a property in just 5–10 minutes by checking:

- Road frontage requirements (county rules range from 75′ to 400′)—if the frontage isn’t there, the deal is instantly dead.
- Legal access and frontage along public streets.
- Lot sizes & demand—spot local patterns via GIS and comparables.
- Deed restrictions that may forbid subdivisions or limit structures.
- Easements, floodplain, utility corridors & topography—and how these can reduce buildable acreage or require creative offers.

Plus, he shares examples of demand patterns that made or broke a deal and how to adapt strategies based on local zoning. This is essential information if you’re a land investor, developer, or curious about land investing strategies.

In this episode of The Real Deal with Neil, I’m tackling one of the biggest challenges holding real estate investors back: overthinking. Too many aspiring land investors and real estate pros spend years learning but never take action. Sound familiar?

I dive into the real reasons we get stuck—lack of leads, money, or vendors—but more often, it's not a knowledge gap, it's an action gap. I’ll show you why “done is better than perfect,” how perfectionism sabotages success, and why failing your way forward is the only path to massive results in land investing, land flipping, and beyond.

You’ll also hear a powerful mindset shift that helped me build a much bigger business—and how you can apply it starting today.

In this episode, Neil Clements breaks down a powerful—but—massively overlooked real estate strategy: flipping individual mobile homes on owned land. Not in parks. Not rentals. We’re talking about full ownership of land along with a mobile home.

Neil shares how he's made over $40,000+ per deal by targeting these forgotten assets—often picking them up at land value or even for free. Why? Because no one else wants them.

We dive deep into:
- Why there's almost no competition for these deals
- How financing (FHA, VA, USDA) is the ultimate profit hack
- What to watch for to qualify for financing
- Combining house flipping and land investing strategies
- Why mobile homes on acreage open doors to massive profits

If you’re a land investor or house flipper tired of the competition, you’ll love this niche. Learn how to profit where no one else is looking.

In this episode, I share the story of my very first house flip—and the $50,000 mistake that nearly crushed me.

Back in 2019, I jumped into my first flip without money, a contractor, or experience—just grit and a great deal. Things went downhill fast. From trusting the wrong contractor to drastically underestimating rehab costs and hitting the worst market timing with COVID, I made every mistake you can imagine. But despite it all, we still walked away with a small profit... and a life-changing lesson.

If you're thinking about getting into house flipping or real estate investing, this story might save you tens of thousands of dollars and years of heartache.
