In this episode of The Real Estate Investing Podcast, Ron Apke sits down with Darrick B., a serial entrepreneur who has been flipping land for just 14 months using the Land Investing Online business model. 

Darrick shares his inspiring journey, from owning a record label at 19, bartending in Nashville, and running CrossFit gyms, to discovering real estate after moving to Tennessee. Fueled by a desire for more family time and financial freedom, he dived headfirst into land investing after finding value in the free resources provided on YouTube.

Darrick details his incredible first-year results, including turning a set of November 2023 mailers into $86,000 in profit and scaling his business to five completed flips in 2024, netting an additional $170,000. 

With six more deals in the pipeline, he’s set to achieve even more in 2025. He shares his goals of scaling to $250,000 in profit, exploring larger deals like subdivides, and fully transitioning out of bartending. 
Packed with actionable advice for newcomers, including tips on consistency, creative marketing strategies, and handling “hate calls,” this episode is a goldmine of insights for aspiring land investors. Don't miss it!
