The Silent Land Killers That Wipe Out 73% of New Builds Before the Foundation Is Ever Poured

How to Bulletproof Your Build in the treacherous “gap phase” between buying raw land and pouring concrete — so you never lose hundreds of thousands on hidden feasibility traps, zoning nightmares, entitlement delays, or bad dirt ever again.

Tired of watching your dream build bleed money, time, and sanity in the black hole between closing on land and breaking ground?

Most people think the hard part is finding and funding the dirt.

The truth? That’s the easy part.

The real slaughterhouse is the 12–36 months of invisible land killers lurking right after you own it:

• “Feasibility surprises” that turn $300k land into a $0 asset overnight
• Entitlement delays that murder your holding costs and construction loan
• Geotech reports that quietly reveal you can’t even build what you planned
• Utility nightmares that add $150k+ most builders never see coming
• Zoning & permitting traps that force expensive redesigns (or lawsuits)

I’ve watched grown men cry in their trucks after losing six and seven figures because nobody warned them about the gap.

My name is Don Leske. I’ve personally build, develop, sold or consulted on nearly $1B of real estate over 30+ years. After seeing too many good people get destroyed, I wrote the playbook I wish existed when I started.
