274: What happens when your side hustle becomes your only income?(Show Notes: REtipster.com/274)In this episode, I talk with Ann Danielson about leaving behind a decades-long teaching career overseas to go all in on land investing. Ann shares the reality of walking away from stability, navigating uncertainty, and building a land business centered on freedom rather than constant hustle.We talk about subdivides, why straight land flips stopped working for them, how they find off-market deals without direct mail or cold calling, and what it feels like when the stakes suddenly get very real.This conversation goes way beyond land investing. It's about identity, risk, reinvention, and choosing the kind of life you actually want to build.If you've ever wondered whether you're ready to leave the safe path, this episode will hit home.

The future of land investing isn't coming; it's already here, and it's creating a bigger gap between investors every day.(Show Notes)The land investors pulling ahead today aren't necessarily smarter or working harder. They're using automation, AI agents, CRM workflows, and property data tools to eliminate busywork, respond faster, and make better decisions.I'll walk through the specific capabilities your CRM and operating system should have, including AI call handling, automated follow-up systems, call summaries, direct mail tracking, e-signatures, API integrations, and agentic AI tools like Claude that can actually perform tasks for you.Whether you use Stride CRM, Land Portal, or something else entirely, the goal is the same: give your time and mental bandwidth back while building a more scalable land investing business.

Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all of our affairs." — Alcoholics Anonymous, Page 60 " If you don't realize the source, you stumble in confusion and sorrow. When you realize where you come from, you naturally become tolerant, disinterested, amused, kindhearted as a grandmother, dignified as a king.

272: In this episode, I sat down with Ari Page, CEO of Fund & Grow, to break down how investors can access 0% business credit and use it like a line of credit to fund real estate deals.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/272)We talked about how this strategy actually works, how much funding you can realistically expect, and where it makes sense (and where it absolutely doesn't). If you're a land investor or real estate investor trying to scale without relying on traditional lenders, this is a powerful tool—but it comes with real risks if you don't use it correctly.Ari also explained how stacking business credit cards works, how some investors are getting up to $300K in funding, and why your credit profile matters more than your net worth.If you've ever wondered how to fund deals faster without tying up your own cash, this conversation will give you a clear picture of what's possible—and what to watch out for.

271: In this episode, I sat down with Jason Brown to unpack how stock trading (especially options) can actually mirror real estate investing more than you might think.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/271)We talked about how he lost six figures early on, rebuilt from scratch, and eventually made a $400K trade by spotting trends before they played out. What stood out to me is how similar his approach is to land investing: finding undervalued opportunities, understanding market behavior, and acting with calculated risk.If you've ever wondered how active stock trading works (without staring at charts all day), or how options can give you leverage similar to real estate deals, this conversation breaks it down in a really practical way.We also got into AI, market trends, and how to think like an investor—whether you're in stocks or real estate.

266: In this episode, I sit down with Travis King to break down what's really going on in today's land investing market.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/266)A lot of investors are doing the work, sending mail, generating leads, and talking to sellers, but they still aren't seeing results. So what's actually broken? Is it the market, the marketing, or something deeper?We dig into the biggest challenges land investors are facing right now, including market selection, lead quality, deal structure, and why dispositions have become the hardest part of the business.We also talk about what's working today, from value-add strategies like subdividing to assignment deals, and how investors can adapt to a slower, more competitive market.If you've been feeling stuck or wondering why your land deals aren't closing, this conversation will help you diagnose the problem and adjust your approach.

He considers those who point out his faults as his most benevolent teachers. He thinks of his enemy as the shadow that he himself casts." — Stephen Mitchell, Tao Te Ching, Verse 38   30 Tools to Stay Sober All Year Round!

267: In this episode, I sit down with Chris Rood to break down how he went from running quick lube shops to building a massive real estate portfolio with mobile home parks, land home packages, and smart investing strategies.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/267)We talk about the concept of fast, medium, and slow money, how to pivot when markets shift, and why affordable housing (especially mobile homes) is one of the biggest opportunities right now.Chris also shares the mistakes he made, how wholesaling saved his business, and the real roadmap to building long-term wealth in real estate.If you're into land investing, land flipping, or building a real estate portfolio, this conversation is packed with practical insights.

265: Dave Denniston is back on the REtipster Podcast to talk about his pivot into curative title investing, why he stopped sending 60,000 mailers a month, and what the land business really looks like from the inside of a $3M+ operation.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/265)Dave is one of the most active investors I know, and in this conversation, he gets refreshingly honest about what is working and what is not. He made over 800 cold calls just to close his very first curative title deal. Along the way, he walked me through a $100,000 survey mistake in Maine, explained why his team moved away from high-volume mailers toward leaner strategies, and shared why land restrictions are killing deals that look good on paper.We also dig into the Land Unconference, which Dave founded and is taking a break from in 2026 before bringing it back in 2027. He talks about why he started it as an introvert, what makes it unlike any other land event, and what burned him out after running four or five of them in a single year. We also cover the problems he ran into with national title companies and his vision for growing revenue from $3M to $ 10M.Dave is also launching a new podcast under the REtipster network called Leadership in Land, focused on the people side of the business. If you want to know what it really takes to build and sustain something in land investing right now, this is an episode worth hearing.

When the topic of spiritual practice comes up, what comes to mind? Going to a religious service? Connecting with nature? Meditating? There are so many ways to connect of a sense of something bigger than ourselves. There is one vital pathways that is sometimes overlooked: Connecting with each other. In today's episode, we're exploring how connecting with other people -- both real and imaginal, in our memories and in the here-and-now -- can help us grow stronger and softer, safer and braver, more present and more expansive.

264: A special roundtable episode where four active land investors (Katie Desmarais, JT Olmstead, Shelby Wengreen, and Arturo Paturzo) come together to talk about what's really working in the land business right now, and what's not.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/264)One year after launching Stride CRM, I wanted to bring together a group of investors who are actively in the trenches to have an honest conversation about the market shifts we're seeing. The truth is, the land business has changed. Some strategies that worked just a year or two ago are now completely broken. But new opportunities are emerging for investors willing to adapt.Katie runs a structured operation with a team of 10, focusing on flips and subdivisions. JT has been in the game for years and just rebuilt his business midyear after realizing his old playbook wasn't working anymore. Shelby moved from casting a wide net to targeting deals with $20K+ profit margins. And Arturo is running a multi-strategy business while serving as an active-duty Navy officer in Italy. Together, they share what's actually working: hyper-intentional lead management, strategic follow-up cadences powered by automation and AI, owner financing as a new leverage point, and a ruthless focus on sales skills.You'll also hear what's broken. Blind offers, spray-and-pray marketing, and the days of easy one-touch closes are gone. We dig into team structure, KPIs, the role of data vs. human connection, and the uncomfortable reality of competing against smarter operators. If you're struggling to get deals in 2026 or just looking to stay ahead of the curve, this conversation will give you the clarity and direction you need.If you're serious about scaling your land investing business, this conversation is packed with honest, practical insights from people doing it right now!

263: I sat down with Callan Faulkner to talk about what's actually working with AI right now and how it's changing the way we build and run businesses.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/263)A year ago, AI felt like a cool tool. Today, it's becoming the operating system behind everything. In this conversation, we break down how AI agents, automation, and custom-trained systems are replacing manual work and unlocking massive leverage.We also talk about what's overhyped, what still requires human judgment, and how real estate investors (especially land investors) can start using AI to gain a serious edge.If you're trying to scale your business, free up time, or just understand where things are going, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.

262: In this episode of the REtipster Podcast, I talk with Cody Cuvillier, a land investor who built a full-time land investing business while serving as an Army officer and Apache helicopter pilot.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/262)Cody shares how he went from treating land investing as a side hustle to building a structured, KPI-driven company with a team that handles cold calling, texting, acquisitions, and follow-up. We talk about the moment in early 2025 when he almost quit, why his business stalled, and the realization that changed everything: he simply wasn't generating enough leads.Since then, Cody has tripled his lead flow, rebuilt his acquisition systems, and implemented daily accountability across his team. He also explains the exact KPIs he tracks, how he structures his acquisition pipeline, and what it takes to scale toward a $1M gross profit goal without destroying margins.If you're trying to build a scalable land investing business in 2026, this conversation is packed with practical insights you need to hear!

Kay reveals how her STR experience shaped her land approach, how she transformed her direct mail strategy, and why control and creativity give her the edge.We also dig into her standout marketing tactics, why she mails everything herself, her thoughts on being a woman of color in this space, and what she'd do differently if she had to start over.If you want to learn land from someone who doesn't follow the typical playbook, this is it.
