Podcasts about land investing

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?

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 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.

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.

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!

Watch the episode now!

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

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?

On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan Greene welcomes back Jose Berlanga, real estate developer, builder, and author, for a deep dive into land investing, development strategy, and the lessons learned from more than 30 years in the business. Returning to the show with his new book, Dirt Rich: Explore the World of Land Investing and Development, Jose shares how land deals played a critical role in capitalizing his construction company and shaping his long-term investment approach. The conversation explores the realities of land development, including zoning challenges, neighborhood resistance, entitlement risk, and why so many investors underestimate the complexity of building from the ground up. Jose explains the importance of repetition, local expertise, and understanding your niche, emphasizing that successful developers stick to what they know rather than constantly reinventing the wheel. Jonathan and Jose also discuss timing market cycles, the role of capital reserves during downturns, and why reputation, relationships, and integrity matter more than squeezing every dollar out of a single deal. The episode offers a grounded look at land as the foundation of all real estate value and why patience, vision, and long-term thinking are essential for lasting success. In this episode, you will hear: How land flipping helped fund and grow a construction business Why zoning, permitting, and community dynamics make land development complex The risks of jumping into development without experience or local knowledge Why repetition and staying in one niche lead to better outcomes How reputation and long-term relationships create deal flow over time 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.

255: In this episode, I talk with Jeremy Brown, a land investor with a fascinating backstory. Before land, Jeremy spent 17 years in publishing, helping authors write and market books in a way that built authority and launched businesses.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/255)But when his son was born with severe bilateral clubfoot, everything changed.
