Let Us Know What You Thought Of The Episode

When the real estate market gets tight and deals start drying up, smart investors start looking for creative ways to stay profitable. In this episode, we sit down with seasoned investor and Savvy Investor Leader Darcy Marler to unpack a strategy most people overlook — land severance investing.

Darcy shares how he turned challenging times into major wins by focusing on smaller, high-return projects that don’t require massive developments. From splitting lots to unlocking hidden value in overlooked properties, he breaks down exactly how severance investing works and why it’s becoming a go-to strategy for investors who want to keep growing — even when the market isn’t playing nice.

You’ll hear Darcy’s personal story of resilience — how he went from losing $25,000 a month to rebuilding his business around a smarter, leaner model that delivers results.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • What land severance investing really is (and why it’s a hidden gem in real estate)
  • How to spot properties with untapped potential
  • Tips for planning, budgeting, and executing a successful severance project
  • How to pivot your investing strategy when the market shifts

If you’ve been feeling stuck or looking for new ways to generate returns in real estate, this conversation will open your eyes to an opportunity most investors completely miss.
