How to Get Free Land! Real Estate Development Training on Zoning and Upzoning 

As an architect as developer for 30 years Dan has articulated the method that I have always used in laymans terms. I have used Dans software in other rehab smaller deals that have a higher profit margin than larger deals. Dan is the real deal! Thanks Dan!

I've been trying to figure out how to become a real estate developer for a very long time and you are the first to break down deals like this! Thank you! You have a new follower for sure!

This is so much better than the garbage I've paid $5k for. Thanks so much!

I have been watching your content for more than a year now, and in that time I got my real estate license and left my law enforcement job to be full time in real estate. I don’t own any investment properties yet but that’s on the horizon and every time I watch your content I get pumped to eventually invest in real estate and develop my own rental properties! Thank you for always giving us this invaluable content and I’m looking forward to more! Paul from Winchester, VA

This is exactly what Ive been searching for for months. Nobody except you seems to spell this out step by step.

Becoming a builder has not been in my RE investment scope, until now. This explanation is so powerful, getting FREE LAND, FREE EQUITY, FREE PROFIT and most importantly, FREE PASSIVE INCOME, is something that surely, no one else has ever taught me how to do. Thank you Daniil, invaluable information. Blessings, ER.

What you do here on RU-vid is a blessing to all. I am learning my way into RE investing and my end goal is to develop affordable housing and low-income subsidized housing here in Los Angeles , CA. I have so many questions id like to ask you in regards to your opinion on development of properties I previously mentioned, how you feel about local and state government regulations/incentives/partnership/ etc. would the inner-circle be the best route to have the questions answered? Thank you for your time and the priceless knowledge you share inside your videos 💯👍

Thank you for your content. I have a meeting with a developer and hopefully my future mentor, so i have been studying your videos in preparation for our first lunch together.

Please don’t stop what you are doing! Please! We love it!

You are definitely right that other developers, on RU-vid at least, don't teach what you teach. Great stuff D! Thanks!

I appreciate the strategy and the way you explained how to see the Free Land before you had broken ground on the project. Outstanding!

As A Seasoned Design/Build Firm I Am Pleased With The Continued Education Experience With Him.

Best video on the topic I’ve ever watched. Thanks for this content.

This is perfect training for those of us who enjoy creating new projects. This really cleans up our environment. Development is complicated. You slow the examination down to bring the moving parts to examine. That is very interesting. You teach me what is important and to study these areas to get really good at. Thank you

Thanks for this! Love how you went from the buyer to the seller AND builder! Profit from both directions 👏🏽

Thank you for sharing this! Learned a ton!! :)

Thanks for showing the ins of townhouses. Sweat equity through upzoning is smart. This training shows something special to bring to the table.

Another fabulous learning, Daniil! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, experience and sagacity with us, allowing us to open our minds and see beyond the obvious, as you say, "where others do not see it." Impeccable Daniil, thank you very much.

This and the developing duplex video areis amazingly close to a deal I’m trying to put together right note. Truly appreciate you and your team! ❤

Thanks for the info Daniil! Really appreciate your time and effort you put into your videos.

That's pretty incredible and eye opening! Your projects are always inspiring!

Loved the info, been watching for years, also purchased rehab eval in the past, best stuff on the market.

Bro, this is mind-blowing and grossmeister-level 3D-chess on steroids that is definitely not taught in school, but should be studied in details as a case analysis. Brilliant idea, excellent execution! I looked up the developed units and they came up beautiful!! The rates environment changed quite a bit but having quality-built spec homes should be a good hedge. Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to more videos!

Great job Daniil extracting opportunities from land!

Great info. I am very interested in more content like this. Opened my eyes to yet more options for investing.

Great Content once again, I love the 'Up-zoning' and Option #2 was staright Ninja from Daniil Kleyman the Land Development Guru❣

Make sure you check out our channel (and subscribe) for more detailed videos on development, including creative deal making!

YOU ARE AWESOME SIR!!

I love ur vids so informative. I am going to start from the beginning

Eye opening Brain twisting content. I will be looking at everything to fnd opportunities that others are missing because I will see what others do not! Thank you so much!!

Rinse and repeat baby. Rinse and repeat. ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥Looking forward to seeing the deep dive on the duplex ❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

I think I may have been in that awesome development. Great presentation once again Daniil. FYI, Rehab Valuator is the only tool I use. I look forward to meeting up again soon, keep the projects coming.....TA

Daniil, Excellent content as always. I especially love the fact that as an immigrant to the U.S., you have created the "American Dream". Question: In my previous experience, I have found that developers will pay ~20-25% of their final market value for the land. Do you agree with this basic metric or has it changed given the current interest rate environment? Lastly, are you currently only doing build-to-rent or are you also buying existing multifamily with value-add? Thanks.

This is really great information

amazing content as usual Daniil!

Always a great lessons, Daniil. Thanks for the motivation boost.

Thank you for your time Sr, Thank you for sharing your knowledge.👏🏿🙏🏿🏡

very good video although I was aware of tactic you explained it very good

Really awesome stuff.

Great oppurnity to learn the game, I was doing research and nobody talks about it. their must be lots of gatekeeping to keep the inventory high.

LOVED IT!!!!

You just earned my subscription with just two videos🎉

Curious, what are the essential boundary partners and how do you find them, how do you leverage zoning consultants. What are three action steps one can take literally right now? Great video, look forward to learning more!

Amazing knowledge brother! Thanks for sharing and keep doing more videos please!

Thank you so much for the free content! And i have to say the quiet part out loud. If the zoning permit doesnt come through, yes you can walk away from the deal, but youll also be in the hole $15k in soft costs right? Or Am i misundersranding the process?

Astounding information Dan!!! Ty!

Thank you, Daniil for putting this out there! One question that came to me while watching this video. In speaking to the seller regarding your plans to develop their property, what is to stop them from just subdividing it and selling the lots individually, once they recognize the potential value of the property? I appreciate and respect your honesty to the seller and I want to emulate that but I can see the potential for losing out by giving out too much detail. Perhaps I am missing a key component of the conversation between you as a developer and the seller?

Good info...I was told the same thing about learning about zoning in my area...Thanks!

I've been studying real estate investing for a couple years. And this is a team effort and you have answered my question how to invest in potential lands . I would love 10 acres to put modular homes for veterans or seniors or single parents. When I go to the planning and zoning board , which questions should I be asking as a beginner investor .

I thought it was a brilliant strategy. We’ve owned a 4.4 ac track for 70 years, adjoining a small county hospital and running adjacently behind the neighboring Drs office. We would ❤ your input for development.

Thank you for putting us on as always Daniil! Do you make the deposit after the initial 90 due diligence? What percent deposit do you typically pay? A super good video idea would be how you navigate the time period where the lots have been rezoned but you have not technically closed on them yet & how you would be able to sell them before this. That is the only part that confuses me and could potentially cause trouble if the lots don’t sell right away. Especially in a higher interest rate environment where listings aren’t moving as fast.

Great stuff.

Great information Would like to speak with you about a project I'm putting together in atlanta

I did learn. A little mind shift. Nice!

Hi Daniel, I'm in the RICHMOND, VA MARKET Currently. Working a 16 unit deal, new build. I would love to connect with you and see if I can PROVIDE VALUE to your Fantastic Team!! I have some exciting projects in the pipeline. 🙂

Wow. Very informative!

Thank you for this! Do you close on the land with the seller before going to the bank and using the land as equity? And if so did you use your own cash to close?

Very informative Thank You so much!

Just found you, THANK YOU. You have anyone already in the IL area that listen to Your teaching? I was looking to buy a 4 unit multi family I like what you are doing. How can I get IL help?

Thank you Daniel

This is great. How do you know the land / lots will be valued at 90k?

This is some serious free game

Thank you, Daniil. Top notch explanation. The financing part comes naturally to me. Where can I learn more about construction?

Would you just take the loss on the survey and architect fees if the city comes back and declines your rezoning effort?

Great video. Did that contract say that you gave the seller a $10k non-refundable deposit?

🔥🔥🔥 new subscribers

Can you share the plans for the duplex and townhouse you did? Or lmk how I can buy them.

This is great stuff! Thank you! However what happens when the seller sees your proposed layout and decides not to sell the lot to you and takes the idea for himself/cut you out of the deal? How would you avoid this?

Thanks Daniil

Awesome info- how large was the initial size of the lot?

Love your video.

Amazing!, where do you find out the marketing and zoning? Where do you find these lands.

Hey Daniil great video! Quick question, I know first the 5 lots were 90k each but then you subdivided them to 12 lots but how are you able to sell them for 90k since they are much smaller lots than the original 5 lots? Wouldn’t they be worth much less?

I'm a little confused on how the upzoning of the plats keeps the value of them the same. If you split 5 lots worth 90k each into 12 smaller plats. Wouldn't that decrease the value of each Plat to 37.5k? Ex. The 5 lots at 90k =450k Split lots = 450k ÷ 12 lots = 37.5k each plat.

Very informative 👍🏾

hey! I tried to get that 50% discount and all I saw was a video! What's the direct link? I clicked it hours before it was over!

What was your convincing argument to the county to get them to approve your proposal? Also, what was your internal selling point to yourself that made you believe the county will approve your proposal?

So you can get money just from the rezoning ? Like having the plans that they city passed it worth that much ( I'm new to real estate)

Wow this was an awesome video

Thank you for sharing! I am curious to know what was your total build cost for the spec homes?

my county only allows me to build duplex on a residential land... my land is commercial, only way I could build the duplex is if I rezone to residential or there is another way? Also they only let me build on 40 % of the land, rest would be for parking, green area etc... any tip to use for that too??? thanks,

Bashirian Glens

Question, just to be clear. Your selling the smaller subdivided lots while the main lot is under contract?

Hey Daniil, in your example I did not notice any demolition costs, what was the actual costs to remove existing structure ? Thank you ! Dale - long time member

Danlii.. are all your segments on software I can order to use as a reference library?

⚡ Love. It. 🤩🌇💯🌻🌻🌻

So what happens if it is not approved, are you out that $29k then? How do you avoid something like that happening, is it just you have a good sense of what they will approve or deny?

Good video

anyone one could explain me why he would divide de lot of his land??

Can we attach the duplexes if it is separate lots?

How can i learn the zoning codes in my area? What do you suggest because when i go to the city, deriding who assist me give me a differnt answer,

Daniil, impressed with your intelligence and service to humanity, you puzzled me with your comment on communism. So, I now ask you; Is the following, correct? (Communism-: An Economic System in which the Whole Community Creates, Shares and Owns Wealth). And if it’s correct, is your attempt to degrade it necessary?

How do we stop it that is the question.. it's becoming disgusting in my area...

🔥🔥🔥
