Subdivision
Determine if a minor subdivision is feasible. Walk through property details, lot configuration, cost estimation, revenue projection, and compliance checks.
The Land Profits Calculator helps you track your land investing business performance over time. It models the full marketing funnel — from mail, cold calls, and texts all the way through conversations, offers, contracts, and closed deals. You can track week-over-week, month-over-month, or quarter-over-quarter, set goals, and run what-if scenarios to plan your growth.
Step-by-Step Guide
At the top of the page, select whether you want to track Week over Week (WoW), Month over Month (MoM), or Quarter over Quarter (QoQ). This determines how your data is organized and compared. If you're just starting out, quarterly is a good default. As you scale, switch to monthly or weekly for tighter feedback loops.
- Weekly tracking is best for high-volume operators who want to spot trends fast
- Monthly is ideal for most students — enough data to be meaningful without being overwhelming
- Quarterly gives you the big picture view for long-term planning
Frequently Asked Questions
The Exit Strategy Calculator helps you analyze a specific land deal and compare four exit strategies: Close & Relist (with optional seller financing), Double Close, Assign Contract, and Subdivide & Sell. Enter your deal details, configure each strategy's parameters, and see a side-by-side comparison of profit, ROI, timeline, risk, and effort. Save deals to your Deal Journal to track your analyses over time.
Step-by-Step Guide
In the Deal Details tab, enter the property name (for your reference), acreage, your acquisition price, and the disposition price (most aggressive — this is the highest price you believe you could sell the property for). Then fill in your estimated costs: buy-side closing costs, sell-side closing costs, monthly holding costs, marketing costs to sell, and due diligence costs.
- Disposition Price should be your MOST AGGRESSIVE estimate — the ceiling, not the floor
- Don't forget due diligence costs: title search, environmental checks, survey, etc.
- Monthly holding costs include taxes, insurance, HOA, and any maintenance
Frequently Asked Questions
The Subdivision Calculator helps you determine if a minor subdivision (dividing land into 2-5 lots) is feasible and profitable. It walks you through five steps: entering property details, configuring lot sizes and setbacks, estimating all costs, projecting revenue, and viewing a complete analysis with compliance checks and a timeline estimate.
Step-by-Step Guide
Enter your total property size (in acres or square feet), the land acquisition cost, and select a zoning preset that matches your parcel's zoning designation. The zoning preset auto-fills lot configuration defaults like minimum lot size, frontage, and setbacks. If your zoning doesn't match a preset, choose "Custom" and enter values manually.
- Always verify your zoning with the local planning department before relying on presets
- R-1 is typically single-family residential with the largest lot requirements
- Rural zoning usually has the most flexibility but may require larger lots

General Tips for Success
Track Everything
The more accurate your inputs, the more useful your projections. Pull real numbers from your CRM, not estimates.
Focus on Trends
One period's data is a snapshot. Multiple periods reveal trends. Track consistently to see what's actually working.
Negotiate Better
Average profit per deal is your most powerful lever. Improving your negotiation skills has the highest ROI of any activity.
Run the Numbers First
Always analyze a deal with the Exit Strategy calculator before making an offer. Know your MAO and expected profit for each strategy.
