In this episode, we sit down with a young land investor who built a real business long before most people even choose a career path. He started flipping land in 2019 from Ireland and has already moved over a hundred properties across the U.S. What began as curiosity from books and podcasts turned into a full-time operation using direct mail, subdivisions, outbound channels, and a level of persistence most people never develop. He shares the highs, the lows, and the reality of trying to grow a land business when the market keeps shifting under your feet.

We dive into his earliest sparks of entrepreneurship. Importing phones as a teenager, trading Tesla stock, and studying the Irish financial crisis — all of which shaped how he thinks about risk and opportunity. He walks us through his first deals, including a landlocked $3,000 parcel that turned into a $12,000 win, and the title issues that nearly knocked him out before he understood what true due diligence looks like. From the early days to now, he makes one thing clear. This business rewards the people who learn fast, stay curious, and don’t quit the first time a neighbor threatens to block the road.

If you care about building a land business that actually lasts — one that survives market swings, legal headaches, and the emotional rollercoaster of deal-by-deal income — this conversation will give you a grounded, smarter way to think about acquisitions, operations, and long-term wealth.
