If you’re starting your journey in land investing, building solid business systems from day one will set you up for long-term success. At PricingLot, we work with land investors across the U.S. to help them streamline operations and scale faster. In this blog, we’ll walk you through the essential systems you need to get started.

  1. Form Your Business Entity

The first step is to create a legal structure for your business. Most land investors choose an LLC (Limited Liability Company) because it’s simple to set up and offers liability protection and tax benefits.

You can use services like:

  • LegalZoom
  • Rocket Lawyer

This process may take a few weeks, but you don’t have to wait to start learning or marketing. Begin building your list and preparing mailers while your paperwork is being finalized.

✅ Pro Tip: You’ll need an EIN (Employer Identification Number) for taxes and opening a business bank account.

  1. Open a Business Bank Account

Separating personal and business finances is crucial. Once you receive your EIN, open a business checking and savings account. This makes it easier to:

  • Track expenses
  • Handle taxes
  • Maintain professional credibility

Use your personal account temporarily if needed, but switch to a business account as soon as possible.

  1. Set Up a Phone System

Communication is at the core of land investing. Set up three separate phone lines for:

  • Marketing Line: Used in mailers and ads. Set up voicemail or use a call service like LandCalls.com or AnswerFirst.
  • Offer Line: For property owners responding to your offers. Answer these calls personally to build trust.
  • Buyer Line: This is where you close deals! Take these calls yourself until you can delegate to a trained team member.

Phone tools we recommend:

  • OpenPhone – Easy to use and cost-effective
  • Google Voice – Free and reliable
  • LPGPhone – Great for advanced users
  1. Get a Business Mailbox

You’ll need a reliable mailing address to receive:

  • Signed offer letters
  • Closing paperwork
  • Returned mail

Two options:

  • Physical Mailbox (like UPS Store): Great if you live locally and can check it regularly.
  • Virtual Mailbox (like iPostal1, Anytime Mailbox): Best for frequent travelers or remote workers. Your mail is scanned and sent to your email.

Choose what works best for your schedule and budget.

  1. Launch Your Buying and Selling Websites

Having a strong online presence builds credibility and helps generate leads.

You need two websites:

  • Seller Site: Attract motivated sellers. Use a domain name like SellYourDirtForCash.com.
  • Buyer Site: Showcase your inventory and take deposits. Try names like PremierLandForSale.com.

Use GoDaddy/Namechaep to register domains and set up hosting. If you use Investment Dominator, it comes with integrated buyer and seller sites that sync with your CRM.

Also, set up a payment processor using tools like LandProfitCC to collect deposits online.

Final Thoughts

Launching your land investing business without systems is like building a house without a foundation. These five steps will help you stay organized, professional, and ready to grow.
