Tune in as the team discusses: Seven creative ways to control land deals without using your own money How other people's money, debt deals, and JV partnerships can fund acquisitions Why assignments and double closings let investors profit without taking long-term ownership How seller financing can help buyers control land before making the first payment The “dollar skittle” strategy for deals with back taxes Why wholesaling existing inventory can create capital for future deals How land investing compares to traditional real estate, flipping, laundromats, and other businesses Why owner financing creates recurring cash flow and long-term freedom The downside of “going vertical” by adding mobile homes or major improvements Real investor wins, including high-yield terms deals and fast cash flip TIP OF THE WEEK Mark: Keep the model simple. Buying land right and selling it on terms creates cash flow without adding the complexity, risk, and overhead of vertical improvements.Scott: Use the “one cash flip, three terms deals” approach early on: cover your operating expenses with a quick cash or wholesale deal, then build recurring income through owner financing.Jon: Stay lean and resourceful. With 10–15 focused hours a week, the right tools, and consistent mailing, investors can build momentum without needing a large operation. WANT MORE? Enjoyed this episode?

Tune in as the team discusses: Why land is still selling in 2026, but buyers expect better marketing Which platforms work best for inexpensive land versus higher-priced parcels How to use Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, Landmodo, LandFlip, Land and Farm, and neighbor outreach Why your buyers list should be focused by region and property type How fast follow-up and phone conversations improve conversion rates Why “systems equal freedom” when scaling land sales How headlines, pricing, copy, photos, and storytelling can revive stale listings Why flaws like flood zones, slopes, or rough terrain can become part of the sales story How TikTok and short-form video are producing real land sales Why most sales still happen on terms rather than cash TIP OF THE WEEK Mark Podolsky: Build a true marketing system, not just a few random ads. Track where your leads come from, follow up consistently, and invest more in the platforms producing results.Scott Bossman: Do not overlook neighbors, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, or your buyers list. The cheapest lead is often already connected to the area where your parcel sits.Mike Zaino: Price land so it feels attractive, affordable, and easy to say yes to. Scale wins when your systems help you repeat mailing, marketing, and follow-up consistently.Jon Burnett: Use story-driven marketing and strong visuals to make each property feel compelling.

A lot of people think success in land investing comes from finding cheap properties. I used to see people make that mistake all the time, and it usually led to frustration. The truth is, the pros don't win because they find the cheapest land. They win because they know exactly where to buy, how much to offer, and how they're going to sell before they ever make an offer.In this episode, I pull back the curtain on three simple strategies that can completely change the way you approach land investing. I show you how to identify markets with real demand, make offers using proven formulas instead of guesswork, and create an exit strategy before you ever buy a property. These are the same frameworks I use every day, and they're much simpler than most people think. If you want to stop hoping deals work out and start making smarter decisions with confidence, you're going to love this one.What's Inside: —How I choose markets where land is already selling fast—The simple formula I use to make confident offers—Why every deal starts with a clear exit strategy—The biggest mistakes beginners make and how to avoid them
275: Most real estate investors think lead generation is the hard part. But in reality, the biggest problem is usually lead conversion.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/275)In this episode of the REtipster Podcast, I sit down with Nicholas Nick from Lead Mining Pros to discuss what actually happens after leads come in. We cover cold calling, seller psychology, follow-up systems, emotional intelligence, and why so many investors accidentally kill deals before they ever have a chance to close.Nicholas shares his exact process for handling seller objections, building trust, grading leads, and staying persistent without becoming annoying. If you're in land investing, wholesaling, or real estate acquisitions, this conversation is packed with practical strategies you can apply immediately.
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.
Tune in as the team discusses: Why land investing is simple, but not always easy How owner financing creates monthly income and long-term note portfolios Using other people's money through partnerships, straight debt, and LandARP Why Xamplo can help with list building, but pricing should be verified with multiple data points How modern list tools replaced old-school county data, CD-ROMs, scrapers, and spreadsheet headaches The moment each host gained confidence that land investing could become a real business How honesty, transparency, and follow-through build credibility with buyers and sellers Why consistent mailing is an investment, not just a cost How to fine-tune mailing lists without overthinking the process What to do when you own inventory but haven't made sales: wholesale, market daily, and keep showing up TIP OF THE WEEK Scott: Don't stop mailing just because costs have gone up. Adjust your volume if needed, but keep deal flow moving and treat mailing like a necessary business expense.Mike: Market your properties with relentless consistency. Like the vendor walking the parade route, keep showing up until buyers finally say yes.Jon: Use other people's money carefully and strategically. Partnerships can provide both funding and a second set of experienced eyes on your deals. WANT MORE? Enjoyed this episode?

The land investing market has changed dramatically over the past few years, and in this episode, Neil Clements joins me to break down what's really happening behind the scenes.(Show Notes)We discuss why the market has become increasingly buyer-friendly, how interest rates continue to shape land values, why margins are shrinking, and what successful investors are doing to adapt. We also dive into competition, cash flow strategies, AI tools, land pricing trends, and the habits that separate investors who survive tough markets from those who struggle.If you're a land investor, real estate investor, or entrepreneur trying to navigate today's market, this conversation offers a valuable perspective on where things stand and where opportunities may be emerging.
Tune in as the team discusses: Why the current land supply market remains strong, healthy, and inefficient How sellers continue responding to consistent direct mail campaigns Why buyer demand may fluctuate seasonally but remains solid overall How tax refunds can create an uptick in land sales and early payoff opportunities Real deal examples showing strong yields and healthy profit margins Why land investing is not saturated, even with more awareness online Why direct mail still works better than flashier acquisition strategies How community helps investors grow through real friends, deal friends, and shared wins The role AI, agents, and automation may play in acquisitions, sales, research, and operations Why grit, resilience, flexibility, and a strong “why” matter in building a long-term land business TIP OF THE WEEK Mark: Treat land investing like a fine wine business—the longer you stay in it, the better it gets. Build grit, stay flexible, and have fun while working through the hard parts.Scott: Invest in and protect your future self. As AI changes industries, use land or another entrepreneurial path to create more security, freedom, and options.Jon: Focus on the one next action that will move your land business forward the most, then do it. Progress comes from consistently doing the next right thing. WANT MORE? Enjoyed this episode? Dive into more episodes of AOPI to discover how to build real passive income through land investing.

Most people think real estate investing starts with houses. Brent Bowers built his business by focusing on something most investors completely ignore: land. In this episode of Franchise Unfiltered, Brent shares how he went from serving in the military to building a land investing business that generated enough income for him to leave the Army, create financial freedom, and help others do the same. We discuss land flipping, tax-delinquent properties, affordable housing, manufactured homes, creative financing, using other people's money, and why land may be one of the most misunderstood opportunities in real estate today. Whether you're interested in real estate investing, entrepreneurship, financial freedom, or finding an alternative path to business ownership, this conversation is packed with practical insights.

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.
Tune in as the team discusses: Why land investing can be less expensive and less risky than traditional real estate How investors can start with as little as $100–$1,000 using land arbitrage What land arbitrage means and how investors make the spread on monthly payments Why $2,000–$7,000 can support mailers, wholesale deals, and early passive income How a $10,000–$20,000 budget allows investors to buy multiple smaller properties instead of one big deal Why larger budgets should still start with a measured approach before scaling The importance of building proof of concept before hiring VAs or overbuilding systems How GeekPay, LG Pass, Google Voice, Slack, and Zamplo can help manage a land business Why pricing, better images, and creative marketing can help move properties in slow areas How lower returns like 2x or 3x can still create strong momentum for new investors TIP OF THE WEEK Scott: Use land arbitrage to test a county before committing serious money. One good LandArb property can help you prove demand, practice marketing, and create quick momentum.Mike: If you have more capital, do not deploy it all at once. Pull out a small amount, get mailers going, close a few deals, and then pour fuel on the fire once the process is working.Jon: Make your property listings pop. Better images, sharper descriptions, and creative positioning can help a slow-moving property attract more buyers. WANT MORE? Enjoyed this episode?

On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan Greene interviews Sumner Healey, founder of Land Insights and the Land Investor Accelerator. Sumner shares how he built a land flipping business from scratch and breaks down the strategies, systems, and mindset needed to succeed in today's market. Sumner walks through his early struggles getting started, from sending handwritten letters with no results to landing his first deal for just over $1,000 and flipping it for a quick profit. He explains how that initial success created a proof of concept that led him to scale into larger deals and eventually build a full business around land investing. The conversation dives into what makes land unique compared to other real estate asset classes, including its flexibility, scalability, and the wide range of deal sizes available. Jonathan and Sumner also discuss the importance of marketing, pricing, and consistency, along with why many new investors fail due to unrealistic expectations and lack of execution. Sumner also shares how to identify strong markets, improve listings to sell faster, and think like a business owner instead of just chasing deals. He emphasizes that long-term success comes from building systems, staying consistent, and being willing to learn through repetition. In this episode, you will hear: How Sumner Healey got started and closed his first land deal Why land investing offers flexibility across deal sizes and strategies The biggest mistakes new investors make when starting out How to identify strong markets and improve listing performance Why consistency and treating it like a business are key to success Follow and Review If you enjoy the show, please follow Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing on Apple Podcasts and leave a rating and review.

Tune in as the team discusses: Why most struggles in land investing are mindset-driven, not tactical How “land therapy” helps sellers release emotional attachments to property Overcoming fear of talking to sellers by using blind offers with built-in pricing Common beginner challenges like hesitation, self-doubt, and inconsistency Why pushing through discomfort leads to confidence and momentum How to raise capital using debt instead of giving up equity Creative funding strategies including friends, family, HELOCs, and credit lines The power of land arbitrage to start with minimal capital Wholesale vs. note-selling strategies for generating quick cash How to improve closing rates by asking better questions and handling objections Reframing “lack of cash” into owning a valuable land portfolio Why consistency in mailing is critical—even when cash feels tight TIP OF THE WEEKMark: When raising capital, ask for advice—not money. It naturally leads to funding conversations with people who trust you. Scott: Get on the phone to close deals—real conversations uncover objections and dramatically improve your success rate. Mike: Focus on alignment, not selling. Ask questions to confirm the property fits the buyer's needs before presenting the offer. Jon: Don't stop mailing when cash is tight—keep the machine running and use wholesale deals for quick psychological wins.WANT MORE? Enjoyed this episode?

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.
Tune in as the team discusses: Why fear of making mistakes is the biggest mistake of all—and how it stops action The importance of sticking to fundamentals: pricing, mailing, and marketing Why investing in your “backyard” can limit your success How overbuying similar properties can slow down your sales pipeline The danger of waiting for the “perfect time” instead of taking action Why you shouldn't ask non-investors for advice on land investing How stopping your mailings kills deal flow and momentum Common due diligence pitfalls, including ownership verification and back taxes Why avoiding phone calls can cost you deals and relationships The value of consistency, scheduling, and surrounding yourself with the right community TIP OF THE WEEKMark Podolsky: Focus on the fundamentals—get a list, price it, and mail it. Don't overcomplicate the process early on. Scott Bossman: Don't wait for the perfect moment—commit, take action, and cross the line into execution. Mike Zaino: Stop worrying about mistakes and start solving problems—progress comes from action, not perfection.

Tune in as the team discusses: Why new investors should prioritize their first deal over income goals Building momentum through repetition and consistent action The dangers of chasing multiple strategies instead of following a proven system How immersion and community accelerate early success Transitioning from hustle to efficiency as deals start closing Using “swim lanes” to identify bottlenecks and optimize workflows Avoiding the trap of turning your business into another job Leveraging outsourcing, automation, and software to scale Why advanced investors need to redefine their “why” after hitting initial goals Creating a business that can run without you through systems and team TIP OF THE WEEKMark Podolsky: Get crystal clear on your “why”—without a strong purpose, you won't have the grit to stay consistent through challenges. Scott Bossman: Regularly look back at your progress to stay motivated—growth is easier to see when you compare where you were months ago. Mike Zaino: Focus on repetition and stacking small wins—success comes from consistent base hits, not chasing big swings early. Jon Burnett: Don't break the chain—commit to showing up daily, even in small ways, to build long-term success.WANT MORE? Enjoyed this episode?

I had a great conversation with Seth Williams, and we tackled a question I've been hearing a lot lately. Is land investing dead? If you've been in this business for any amount of time, you know things change. Markets shift, response rates go up and down, and what worked a couple years ago might not work the same way today. But that doesn't mean the opportunity is gone.Seth and I talked about what's really happening right now. Some investors are struggling because deals are harder to find or take longer to sell. Others are seeing better results because fewer people are mailing or competing. That's the game. It's always evolving. The ones who stay in it and adapt are the ones who keep winning.We also got into what it takes to stay relevant. Whether it's improving your follow-up, using better systems, or even pivoting your strategy, success comes down to doing the fundamentals consistently. This business still works. But you have to treat it like a real business and be willing to adjust when needed.If you've been wondering whether it's still worth it, this will give you some clarity.What's Inside: —Why land investing feels harder but still works for those who adapt—How fewer competitors can actually improve your results—The importance of follow-up, systems, and answering the phone—When and why you may need to pivot your strategy

Tune in as the team discusses: Debunking the myth that land deals are “picked over” or gone How the proven buy box ($1K–$5K acquisitions, 3–10x flips) still works today Top-performing states like Colorado, Arizona, Florida, Texas, and Oregon Why “cookie-cutter” rural subdivisions create repeatable deal flow The importance of demand drivers like recreation, off-grid living, and proximity to cities Avoiding complex markets like attorney states and high-POA areas Why simplicity (no tenants, no leverage, no inspections) makes land investing scalable The “beachhead strategy” of mastering one market before expanding How lifestyle trends like homesteading and escaping cities fuel demand Lessons from failed or difficult deals and how to avoid unnecessary friction TIP OF THE WEEKMark Podolsky: Focus on simple, high-demand markets with plenty of inventory—don't overcomplicate when easier deals exist. Scott Bossman: Start in one market and master it before expanding—depth beats distraction early on. Jon Burnett: Look for repeatable products in areas with strong demand so you can scale efficiently and consistently.WANT MORE? Enjoyed this episode?

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!
One of the biggest mindset shifts you need to make in land investing is realizing this: we're not really in the land business. We're in the marketing business. When I see investors struggle in this niche, it almost always comes down to one simple problem. They stop marketing too soon or they treat marketing like an expense instead of an investment.I've seen deals come in months or even years after the first letter was sent. In fact, I once got a call from a seller who kept one of my letters for three years before finally reaching out. The reason that deal happened is simple. We were still marketing and still in the game.Another challenge I see a lot is investors getting discouraged too quickly. They talk to a few sellers, hear a bunch of no's, and assume the system isn't working. But most deals come from follow-up. Just because someone says no today doesn't mean they won't be ready tomorrow.In this episode, I break down six of the biggest mistakes I see land investors make and how a few small shifts in your marketing and focus can completely change your results.What's Inside: —Why consistent marketing is the foundation of a successful land business—How follow-up turns rejected leads into profitable deals—The mindset shifts that help investors avoid common mistakes
Going from side hustle to full-time land investing takes more than just motivation—it requires the right mindset, strategy, and resilience. Steven Jack Butala and Jill DeWit dive into the realities of transitioning from part-time investing to making land flipping a full-time career. They share insights on overcoming setbacks, understanding personal strengths, and making smart decisions to sustain long-term success. Is land investing the right path for you? Tune in as they break down the process, common challenges, and key steps to building a thriving land business.

Episode Notes Tune in as the team discusses: Why rental properties often become a second job filled with late-night calls, repairs, and tenant drama The true cash flow comparison between rentals and low-cost land deals How land investors create high cash-on-cash returns with minimal overhead The power of scalable systems and virtual assistants in building freedom What “passive income” really means—and why most real estate isn't truly passive How defaults in land investing can actually increase long-term profitability Why blind offers streamline acquisitions and eliminate wasted time The mindset shift from owning assets to building a cash-flow machine How land investing creates time freedom without sacrificing profitability TIP OF THE WEEKMark Podolsky: Don't chase “doors” for the sake of status—focus on building a scalable machine. Create systems and automation so your income doesn't depend on you being the bottleneck. Scott Bossman: Run the math before you buy rentals. Compare the cash-on-cash return of one rental to multiple small land deals—you may be surprised how quickly land wins. Mike Zaino: Embrace the boring. The repetitive, simple nature of land investing is what makes it scalable, automatable, and ultimately freeing.WANT MORE? Enjoyed this episode?
