In this episode of The A Game Podcast, Nick Lamagna sits down with Cody Bjugan, founder of VestRight and creator of the LDP (Land with Development Potential) model, to break down the most overlooked niche in real estate investing: land entitlement.
Cody built a $900M+ portfolio by controlling raw land, walking it through the city approval process, and exiting to national homebuilders - often doubling his money without spending a dollar of his own on construction. He shares exactly how the LDP model works, how to source off-market land deals, how to negotiate with landowners, and how to win over difficult city councils and NIMBY neighbors during the entitlement process.
But before the tactics, Cody gets real about the mindset work behind the money - losing 90% of his net worth in the Great Recession, quitting alcohol, redefining his identity outside of wealth, and learning to lead with faith and humility instead of ego. This episode is part real estate masterclass, part personal development deep-dive for entrepreneurs chasing their next level.
In this episode, you'll learn:
✅ What "LDP" (Land with Development Potential) actually means and why it's called the best-kept secret in real estate
✅ How to control land without owning it, and exit through a double closing with a homebuilder
✅ Why the hardest, most restrictive markets often produce the highest returns
✅ How to navigate city planning, zoning boards, and NIMBY opposition without burning bridges
✅ Why chasing money without purpose leads to emptiness - and what to chase instead
