    How a 20 Acre Phone Call Turned Angela Bruno Into a Land Consultant

    One phone call about 20 raw acres turned Angela Bruno into one of the Treasure Valley's go-to land consultants. Angela was working the phones at her office when a colleague froze mid-call. A seller did not want to sell his house, but he had 20 acres he did not know what to do with. Angela took the phone, asked the right question, and never looked back. Bently Perry brings her own family's land development background into the conversation as Angela breaks down a land deal near Homedale, a town that has grown roughly 12 percent since the 2020 census, using a pricing model she built herself with a ChatGPT assist on the math. Best case, it pencils out near $7 million. Worst case, $5.4 million. Angela also walks through her actual first deal: a hammer, a nail, some paint, what she jokingly calls lipstick on a pig, and a rental in Parma that started with $7,000 at the closing table. Hosted by: Bently Perry  Guest: Angela Bruno Angela Bruno is a Realtor with FLX Real Estate, a Certified Land Consultant, and the Founder of Land Collective based in the Treasure Valley, Idaho. Specializing in finance-backed strategies, land acquisition, and development opportunities, she focuses on structuring transactions between landowners, developers, and builders. Angela leverages her background in finance and insurance to bring an analytical, numbers-driven approach to representing land development and subdivisions. What You'll Learn: Answering the one question that turns a house call into a land deal Pricing a land deal with a model she built herself and a ChatGPT assist on the math Weighing a seller carried note against a traditional mortgage Building a first rental out of $7,000 and a hammer Choosing to carry debt instead of collecting rental doors Watching her dad turn a hostile landowner into a decades-long relationship Walking away from a top producing sales career to specialize in land CONNECT WITH ANGELA BRUNO 🌐 Website: https://flx-realestate.com/angela 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Angela.Bruno.Land.Collective 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/angela.bruno_land.collective/ 📧 Email: https://www.linkedin.com/in/angela-bruno-22727b27/ CONNECT WITH BENTLY PERRY 📧 Email: bently@homesinboise.com 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/YOURIDAHOREALT0R/ 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bentlyperry/ 🌐 Website: https://www.homesinboise.com/ CTA: Ready to talk land or your next investment property?

    The Empty Lot Loophole: Zach Matson on Boise Infill and ADU Wealth

    Boise's oldest, skinniest lots are hiding six figure equity, and Zach Matson knows exactly where to find it. Bently Perry and her father, developer Doug Perry, host Your Idaho Realtor to help Treasure Valley buyers and investors build real wealth in Idaho real estate, the same market where Bently once rented a 28th Street house for 900 dollars a month before it sold for just under 2 million. This episode, she talks infill development with Zach Matson, CEO of Matson Homes, whose entire business is finding lots and old houses that most buyers walk right past. Zach breaks down his 30 day due diligence process, why Boise just approved two ADUs per property, and how what he calls more meat on the bone than a typical flip turns a single lot split into a six figure win. Hosted by: Bently Perry  Guest: Zach Matson, CEO of Matson Homes Zach Matson is the CEO of Matson Homes and an infill real estate developer based in Boise, Idaho. Specializing in high-value infill projects ranging from custom homes to multi-unit developments, he expertly navigates local zoning codes to maximize land value through lot splits, ADUs, and townhomes. Alongside his development work, Zach provides investor training and education on strategic real estate development, deal structure, and long-term wealth building.
