Our Land Buying Criteria: How to JV With CashOnLands.com

CashOnLands.com is a premier nationwide real estate investment firm that specializes in purchasing vacant, raw, and undeveloped land directly from owners for cash. As a nationwide cash buyer, our primary objective is to streamline the land disposition process by acquiring residential, agricultural, and recreational acreage across all 50 U.S. states. We partner with wholesalers, investors, and agents through joint venture (JV) agreements to fund, close, and monetize off-market land opportunities quickly and efficiently.

Does CashOnLands.com buy land in any market? Yes, we are an entity that operates completely nationwide, offering a reliable exit strategy for land parcels regardless of their geographic location. Our streamlined acquisition model bypasses traditional financing roadblocks, allowing us to absorb all closing costs and complete deed transfers in a fraction of the time required by standard retail transactions.

What Types of Real Estate Properties Does CashOnLands.com Buy?

Do you buy land in every state?

Yes. We have a strict nationwide buying mandate. Whether your property is located in the desert of Arizona, the timberlands of the Pacific Northwest, or an infill lot in a major Florida metro, we have the infrastructure to evaluate and close the deal.

What specific property types and acreage sizes are you looking for?

We target a diverse portfolio of vacant land entities. Our ideal criteria include:

• Residential Infill Lots: Single-family or multi-family zoned lots with utility access.
• Rural & Recreational Acreage: Parcels used for hunting, camping, or off-grid living, ranging from 1 acre to 100+ acres.
• Agricultural & Farmland: Pasture, crop, or timberland of any size.
• Unimproved/Raw Land: Parcels with no current infrastructure, road access, or utilities. For these raw tracts, we look for acreage starting at 0.10 acres and above in large municipalities with a higher population count. Outside of large municipalities, large acreage above 1+ acres is preferred, whether they have dirt road access, gravel, or are completely off-grid.

How Can JV Partners Determine if a Deal Fits Your Criteria?

To establish a mutually profitable joint venture, we look for land deals that meet specific underwriting parameters. We prioritize properties that are under contract at a significant discount below current market value. This margin allows us to joint venture effectively, ensuring both parties are compensated for their role in the transaction.

What Are Your Purchase Price Ranges and Funding Methods?

What is your target purchase price range?

Our typical transaction sweet spot ranges from $5,000 to $500,000+.

Will you consider deals over $500,000?

Yes, we will absolutely consider high-value land assets exceeding $500,000. However, for deals above this threshold, your due diligence must be flawless. High-tier submissions require comprehensive documentation, including:

• Detailed Broker Price Opinions (BPOs) or professional appraisal data.
• Up-to-date boundary or topographic surveys.
• Clearly defined, data-backed exit strategies.

💡 Pro Tip for Partners: Regardless of the price range, the more extensive and thorough your due diligence package is, the faster we can approve, fund, and close the transaction.

How are these land transactions funded?

We remain highly adaptable to maximize transaction speed and structure. To fund our acquisitions, we typically utilize our own liquid cash funds, leverage dedicated partner funds, or deploy creative real estate financing methods to ensure the deal gets across the finish line safely.

What property conditions or title issues do you accept?

We prefer properties with a clean title and clear chain of custody. However, our legal team routinely resolves minor title clouds, including:

• Back taxes or minor tax liens.
• Properties stuck in probate or requiring heirship affidavits.
• Properties managed by a Bureau of Land Management or local county authority mapping discrepancy.

We typically avoid parcels with severe environmental contamination, land locked completely within a FEMA high-risk, unbuildable floodway, or topography that makes the land entirely unusable (e.g., a vertical cliff).

Pro Tips for Beginner Land Wholesalers

If you are just starting out in land wholesaling, trying to target all 50 states at once is a recipe for overwhelm.

• Start in Your Backyard: Begin marketing in your local market or the state where you currently reside.
• Leverage Local Knowledge: Knowing the specific counties, regional zoning quirks, and local demand makes it significantly easier to spot a true discount. Alternatively, choose a state you know well from extensive prior visiting experience.
• Master, Then Scale: Establish your foundational footing locally, build a predictable marketing system, and only then branch out into national territory.

Why Work With a Cash Buyer vs. a Traditional Realtor?

When you work with CashOnLands.com, you cut out the inefficiencies of the traditional retail market. Listing land with a real estate agent frequently takes 6 to 12 months because the retail pool for raw land is incredibly small, and traditional buyers struggle to secure bank financing for vacant lots.

We are direct cash buyers. This means:

• No Commissions or Fees: You don't lose 6% to 10% of the deal value to agent commissions.
• We Pay All Closing Costs: The price we agree on is exactly what is accounted for, with no hidden escrow or recording fees.
• Guaranteed Speed: We skip bank appraisals and formal loan approvals, allowing us to fund and close deals in as little as 7 to 14 days.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do you determine the market value of the land?

We analyze recent sales data of comparable parcels in the immediate area, factoring in zoning, road access, utilities, and topography to establish an accurate, data-driven market value.

Do you assist with double closings?

Yes. If you are a wholesaler looking to double close a transaction, we can partner with you and leverage our listing options and capital infrastructure to ensure a smooth close.

Will you buy land with back taxes owed?

Yes. If the deal leaves enough margin to cover the outstanding balance, we will pay off the back taxes directly through the title company at closing.

How quickly can you close on a property?

Once we receive clean title commitment paperwork from the escrow agent or attorney, we can fund the transaction and close within 7 to 14 business days.
