Doug Smith is the CEO and Lead Invetor at Hawthorne Funds, a Houston-based private equity firm that couples his funds with those of other investors to purchase, subdivide and sell large rural tracts of land in Texas. Their unique approach to adding value during the holding and disposition process gives them a competitive advantage that generates outsized returns for their investors.
In this episode, Jack Bosch talks to Doug about why he moved from house investment into the world of land and how he has scaled his business far beyond that of the typical land investor. You’ll see how you can turn land flipping into a multi-million dollar empire without many of the issues that investors in other real estate niches face.
