JF 4053: Owning a Town, Land Notes and Investor Lessons ft. Jon Jasniak
from The Best Ever CRE Show · host Joe Fairless
On this week’s episode of Passive Income Playbook, Pascal Wagner interviews Jon Jasniak. Jon shares how he built a multimillion-dollar land business since 2017, completing over 30 subdivisions and selling more than 10,000 acres, often doubling investor capital in months. He explains why land—though overlooked compared to multifamily and storage—can deliver outsized returns through subdividing and seller financing, while also breaking down misconceptions around cash flow, liquidity, and risk. Jon also talks about his $1M+ experiment of buying a Texas town, lessons from defaults and note sales, and what LPs should look for when investing in land operators.
