The Land Fixer Podcast

Host Logan Swanson talks with Phil Jones of PRG Land Tech — a medically retired Marine turned land investor with 15 years of experience — about the full due diligence process for buying raw land. They share real stories and costly mistakes to watch for, from title and deed overlaps to zoning, flood zones, access, septic, and utility issues. The episode covers practical steps: build a checklist, call local agents and builders, verify county records, order surveys, and use due diligence findings as negotiation leverage. They emphasize the importance of boots-on-the-ground checks and local contacts when buying remotely. They also discuss using AI as a tool (for synthesizing known documents) but warn it cannot replace human investigation and verification when underwriting land deals.
