After being involved in nearly 1,000 land deals, Drew Haney has enough data to start seeing some pretty clear patterns. In this episode, Jessey and Kevin sit down with Drew to talk through what the numbers are actually showing inside Rooster Capital, including which deals have produced the strongest returns, which ones tend to sit the longest, and why chasing bigger spreads is not always the better move.

No agenda, three friends, and an honest read on where the land market actually sits right now. Drew, Seth, and Stride CRM co-founder Mike Balcom get into why roughly half the investors who piled in during COVID have already quit, which strategies still produce deals when volume slows, and what separates the operators who survive a downturn from the ones who fold. Drew pulls from the ~850 land deals Rooster Capital has funded to make the case that the boring, smaller flips are the ones quietly producing the strongest returns.

Drew sits down with Abi to walk through the failure mode that wiped out a previous land business — the $40K/month debt service that left no margin when deal flow slowed. The pivot to Rooster Capital's JV-funding model came directly out of that lesson: capital flexes with deal volume instead of crushing the operator when the market turns.
