Land & houses · North Carolina · Texas · farther if it is right

Buy dirt.
They aren't making any more of it.

We buy land and houses around New Bern and across Texas — including the flooded ones, the inherited ones, and the ones three agents have already given up on. Cash, as-is, on your timeline. If the deal is right we will travel for it.

For sellers

The ones nobody else wants

Most buyers want a clean house with good photos. We are not most buyers. If it took water, sat empty, or needs more work than it is worth to you, that is exactly the conversation we want to have.

Flood-damaged

Our first house took five feet of water and sat empty for years. We know what that actually costs to put right, so we can give you a real number instead of walking away.

Inherited or empty

A house nobody lives in still costs money every month. We buy as-is — no clearing it out, no repairs, no staging, no showings.

Raw land, anywhere

Lots, acreage, odd parcels, land locked behind somebody else's driveway. We buy in Eastern North Carolina and across Texas — and if the parcel is right we will look anywhere. Land is the part most buyers skip, and it is the part we like best.

Just tired of it

Bad tenants, a failed listing, a project you started and stopped. No judgment. Tell us what it is and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right buyer.

The BRRRR calculator

Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat. The whole strategy lives or dies on one question: after you refinance, how much of your own money is still stuck in the deal? Put your numbers in and find out.

Attorney, insurance, utilities
The after-repair value

What this is and is not. This runs entirely in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere, nothing is saved, and we never see your numbers. It is arithmetic, not advice. A real deal has surprises this cannot know about, and rehab budgets are wrong more often than they are right. Use it to rule deals out quickly, then verify the ones that survive.
How we started

A flooded house and $9,500

The first one

We found it on Facebook Marketplace, sold by a Marine. It had taken five feet of floodwater, sat empty for years, and the neighbors had a less polite name for it.

We paid about $9,500 in cash — some of it from selling silver — and signed the papers with an attorney in a Waffle House booth. We were living in an RV at the time, with three dogs.

Then we did it properly. Every permit pulled. The rehab ran roughly $50,000, done on a shoestring out of Facebook Marketplace, yard sales, Goodwill and eBay, with a friend's military discount at Lowe's doing a lot of heavy lifting.

That house is paid off. A financed shed in the back yard became the first warehouse, which became storage units, which became the warehouse we run today.

We tell you this for one reason: when we say we are not scared of a house that took water, we are speaking from the inside of one.

That was the first. There are three properties now — houses in New Bern and a place in Kinston — bought one at a time, the slow way, out of cash flow rather than hype. Three houses. In Monopoly, one more and you get the hotel.

What we are building

Monopoly, in real life

Buy undervalued dirt. Fix it properly. Rent it to somebody who needs a decent place. Refinance, and go again. It is not complicated — it is just slow, and most people quit.

Rentals

Long-term homes for people who want to stay somewhere decent, maintained by somebody who answers the phone.

Land

Craven County, Eastern NC, and Texas acreage. They are not making more of it, and they are not making it closer to town either.

Tiny homes & RV

Smaller footprints for people priced out of everything else, and a camp park on the right piece of land.

Partners welcome

We would rather do more deals with good people than all of them alone. If you have capital, a crew, or a piece of land, come talk.

Get in touch

Tell us about the property

Where it is, roughly what shape it is in, and what you would want for it. We will give you a straight answer — including "we are not the right buyer for this," when that is the true answer.
