Land Business Formation ClassBuild the business under your deals.

You can set up a land business the right way. This free course walks through the parts most new investors skip: entity structure, asset protection, bank accounts and books, taxes at the concept level, contracts and title, and the records that keep it all standing. Each lesson ends with a step you can take and shows where LandConnect keeps that work organized.

Before you begin

This course is education, not advice. Before the first lesson opens, you will confirm that you understand it does not constitute legal, tax or financial advice and that you will consult a licensed attorney or CPA for your own situation.

Topics were shaped by a study of public teaching on real estate entity structure and asset protection, including the books and podcasts of attorney Clint Coons of Anderson Advisors. The lessons are original LandConnect material. LandConnect is not affiliated with or endorsed by him or his firm.
