If you're doing land deals or even thinking about getting into the land game, you've got to hear this one. I brought Ron Apke onto the podcast. He's one of the co-founders of Land Portal and also a seasoned land investor doing big deals himself. What he and his team have built is absolutely nuts. I've been using Land Portal every single day in my own business and coaching, and it's quickly become my go-to tool for market selection, property filtering, comps, and building highly targeted seller lists.We walked through how Land Portal helps you find the hottest counties for land flips, break down data like days on market, price per acre, absorption rates, and even slope and wetlands, all with just a few clicks. You can go from a 3,500 property list down to 300 laser-targeted parcels with road access, no wetlands, no flood zones, and at least 50 percent buildable acreage. It's a game changer for people with limited marketing budgets who don't want to waste time and money chasing junk leads.The AI features they've added are wild. Land Portal analyzes satellite imagery to determine whether a property is truly vacant, what kind of structure (if any) is on it, and whether it has access. We even looked at detailed comp reports, soil analysis, and slope data, all automated. I honestly believe this is the best tool on the market right now for land investors. If you're serious about scaling your business, this is what you need in your toolbox.What's Inside:—How to filter out landlocked, unbuildable, or junk properties before spending a dime on marketing—Using AI to find the most profitable land in the hottest counties—Why buildability and slope analysis matter more than price alone—The secret to saving thousands on direct mail by targeting only the best sellers

We cover exactly how she earned that trust, what she looks for in other team members, how she motivates a remote team, and what investors often get wrong about working with overseas talent.If you've ever thought about hiring a VA (Virtual Assistant) or EA (Executive Assistant) for your land investing business, this conversation will completely change the way you think about their potential.

I've got a really exciting episode for you. I'm talking with my good friend Dave Denniston, someone who's done more land deals than just about anybody I know. We're talking about 250 in a single year. Dave started out in financial planning, made a million-dollar bet on himself in 2008 (yes, the worst time possible), and came out swinging by diversifying into land investing, lending, and running high-level masterminds for experienced land investors.What I love about Dave is that he's the real deal. He's not just doing small desert square deals. He's buying for $100K and selling for $200K. He's gone deep on pricing, tested everything from blind offers to neutral letters, and built an entire system that's scalable and optimized. And yet, he's humble enough to share how he got started, what tools he uses, and how a beginner can break into the business and scale to $10K per month in passive income.We also break down some of the tools and tactics Dave's using right now, including how he's managing 400+ seller finance notes and where he's seeing the most success marketing land.
