Partner With Justin Piché
Land Development & Subdivide JV Partner

Found a big land deal you can’t take down alone? Let’s partner on it.

Why Partner

Finding the deal is the hard part. Everything after is my job.

If you’ve found a large tract with subdivide or development potential, you’re sitting on the most valuable piece of the puzzle. What kills these deals is everything after: the capital to close, the entitlement work, the engineering, the county process, and moving 8, 20, or 50 lots once they’re cut.

That’s exactly what my company does all day, every day — roughly a dozen subdivides in process at any given time, multiple 7-figure developments, and an 8-figure project in the works. Partner with me and your deal gets institutional-grade execution while you keep meaningful equity in the outcome.

No wholesale fee cap. No handing your deal to a buyer who ghosts. A structured JV where your upside scales with the deal.

How we typically split the work

You Bring

  • The deal (locked or not)
  • Local knowledge
  • Seller relationship

I Bring

  • Capital to close
  • Underwriting & entitlement team
  • Engineering & county process
  • Lender relationships
  • In-house dispo & buyer list
Learn By Doing

Never run a big subdivide? Bring me your first one.

A lot of experienced land investors hit the same wall: they find a tract worth splitting, but they’ve never run a subdivide — so they wholesale it for a fraction of the upside, or pass entirely.

I don’t sell coaching anymore. But when we partner on a deal, you’re inside it — and I’ll show you exactly how it’s done while we do it.

Get paid on this one. Know how to run the next one — or bring that one to me too.

  • You’re in the loop on all of it — engineer, county, surveyor, and lender communications as they happen
  • I walk you through how I set everything up: the entity, the financing, the budget, the plat strategy
  • Regular update meetings as the project moves — underwriting, improvements, lot releases, dispo
  • By the last lot sold, you’ve watched the entire playbook run once — on a deal you have equity in
The Process

From submission to signed JV in days, not months.

1

Submit the deal

Send the county, acreage, price, and whatever you have — APN, link, or just a story. Under contract or not.

2

We underwrite it

My team runs comps, split scenarios, and county rules. You get a straight answer — typically within 72 hours.

3

We structure the JV

Splits are deal-by-deal based on what each side brings. Everything in writing before anyone commits a dollar.

4

We close & execute

I bring the capital — direct on smaller deals, through my investment fund on larger ones. My team runs the survey, entitlement, and lot sales. You stay as involved as you want to be.

What I Look For

The buy box — send anything close.

These are the deals I underwrite every week. If yours doesn’t fit neatly, send it anyway — some of my most profitable projects didn’t look like winners at first glance.

Subdivides

20+ acre tracts with road frontage that can split into 5–10 acre lots — the bread and butter. Minor plats and exempt splits move fastest.

Full Developments

Larger tracts that justify roads, utilities, and horizontal improvements. I have multiple of these in progress right now.

§

Entitlement Plays

Land where the value is unlocked by zoning, platting, or approvals rather than dirt work.

Anywhere in the U.S.

If the numbers work, geography won’t kill the deal. Deepest experience in Texas and the Southeast, with deals closed in 15+ states and counting.

$

Deal Size

Typically $100K–$5M+ acquisitions. Big enough to matter, structured so both sides win.

Straight Flips Too

Not everything needs a split. If it’s a strong buy, I’ll partner on it or just buy it from you outright.

Not sure if your deal qualifies?Send it anyway. Worst case, you get a free professional underwrite and an honest answer.

Track Record

Live projects, real numbers.

Brokers & Agents

I work both sides of the deal with brokers.

My dispo team and buyers list move a lot of lots in-house — but I partner with strong local brokers on every development. Good brokers get vetted once and get repeat business.

Bring me acquisitions

Large tracts that have sat, expired, or need a buyer who understands splits. I underwrite fast and close — capital is never the bottleneck, whether it’s mine or raised through my fund — and your commission is fully protected. Bring me deals that fit and you become a first call.

Submit a Deal

List my developments

I hire local brokers to sell lots on subdivisions and developments nationwide — real inventory, staged releases, and a team that answers the phone. If you know your market and want development listings, introduce yourself.

About Justin

From submarines to subdivides.

I’m a former U.S. Navy submarine officer (USS Maine) and ExxonMobil engineer who left corporate in 2022 after my land business out-earned my salary. Since then I’ve executed 450+ land transactions and led 40+ subdivision developments across 15+ states — including 2,500+ acres sold in 2024–2025 alone — with an in-house team covering acquisitions, underwriting, project management, and disposition. I’m also Managing Partner and Head of Investments at Triune Capital Partners, which capitalizes our larger development projects.

I co-host The Ground Game Podcast with Clayton Hepler, where we break down exactly how deals like these get done. I used to coach investors one-on-one — these days I’d rather just do deals together. Partnership beats tuition.

FAQ

Straight answers.

Does my deal need to be under contract?

No. If you’ve locked it up, great — we can move fast. If you haven’t, submit it anyway. If the numbers work, I can help you structure the offer and we go get it together.

How do the splits work?

Deal-by-deal, based on what each side contributes — the contract, the capital, the entitlement work, the dispo. A partner who just sources a deal earns differently than one who stays in for the project management. Everything is agreed in writing before we close.

What if I just want to sell you the deal and walk?

Also fine. Some deals I’ll buy outright or take via assignment. Tell me what you want in the submission notes and I’ll price it both ways.

How fast will I hear back?

My underwriting team reviews every submission. You’ll typically get an answer — yes, no, or “here’s what I’d need” — within 72 hours.

Who pays for due diligence, surveys, and engineering?

Once we structure the JV, my side typically funds acquisition and project costs. That’s the point of the partnership — you shouldn’t need capital to have equity in the outcome.

I’m an agent or broker — how can we work together?

Two ways. Bring me acquisitions: large tracts that have sat, expired, or need a buyer who understands splits — fast, credible offers with your commission fully protected. Or earn listings: I hire vetted local brokers to sell lots on my developments across the country. Details here.

Do you still offer coaching?

Not currently — but partnering on a live deal teaches more than any course. When we JV, you’re on the calls, you see how I structure the entity and financing, and we hold regular update meetings as the project moves. Bring me your first big subdivide: you get paid on it and you’ll know how to run the next one. For free education in the meantime, check out The Ground Game Podcast.
