The Beginnings
—
Land South got its start in 2002 when Rob Harper and Brian Philpot teamed up to buy 6,200 acres of timberland in rural South Carolina. Land South then acquired over 350,000 acres throughout the Southeast. In 2004, they recognized the bubble growing in the market and decided to sell. By 2007, Land South had sold almost all of its holdings, generating over 200% in returns.
