I’m taking you behind the scenes as I analyze a vacant lot and make a real cash offer. No theory here. I’m looking at actual sold and active comps, figuring out what I think the property can sell for, and working backward to determine my offer.

The numbers suggest this 1.14-acre lot could sell for around $49,750. After factoring in my desired profit, realtor commissions, photos, and closing costs, the spreadsheet says I could offer around $30,000. But I have a simple rule for properties under $100,000: I usually start around 50% of value. So I’m sending the seller a $25,000 cash offer.

I also show you how I create the offer letter, attach a proof of funds letter, and send it in a way that builds credibility. You don’t need to overcomplicate land investing. Learn the numbers, make good offers, and get them in front of sellers.

What’s Inside: 

—How I use sold and active comps to estimate a vacant lot’s value

—Why I’m offering $25,000 on a lot I believe could sell for $49,750

—How I account for profit, commissions, photos, and closing costs

—Why proof of funds can give your cash offer more credibility

I love deals where we can make the seller the bank and then turn around and become the bank ourselves. Clay Hepler is doing exactly that with land, and the numbers on one of his current deals are pretty incredible.

Clay is buying 356 acres for $350,000 with only $25,000 down and $1,500 monthly principal-only payments. He plans to subdivide the property into about 10 lots and sell them for roughly $87,000 each, creating a potential $870,000 exit. Then he can sell those lots with owner financing and create even more profit through interest.

We also get into why bigger, higher-quality deals can make more sense than chasing volume, how to structure creative offers sellers actually want, and why your mindset still matters more than any strategy.

—Using seller financing to buy land with less cash

—Creating additional wealth by becoming the bank

—Why better deals and better margins beat chasing volume

Success leaves clues. When I’m looking for vacant land markets, I don’t try to guess where the next hot area will be. I follow the money and look for where people are already buying land.

I start broad and quickly narrow things down from the country to the state, county, and eventually the specific zip codes where deals are happening. Using tools like LandWatch, Redfin, Zillow, ChatGPT, and the Land Portal, I can see where properties are selling, what acreage buyers want, and what they’re willing to pay.

Think of it like fishing with a depth finder. I don’t want to throw my line into empty water and hope something bites. I want to see where the fish already are. Once I find those pockets of demand, I can build a targeted seller list, make intelligent offers, and focus my marketing where I have a much better chance of doing deals.

One of the biggest mistakes I see investors make is trying to market to everyone. The truth is, you don't need thousands of random properties to find great deals. You just need the right ones. In this video, I walk you through exactly how I start with a brand-new market and narrow thousands of vacant lots into a small, highly targeted list that actually makes sense to mail.

I take you inside my process as I research Marion County, Florida, identify the hottest zip codes, study buyer activity, and use smart filters to eliminate bad properties like wetlands, landlocked lots, corporate-owned parcels, and recently sold listings. We start with more than 3,300 vacant lots and end up with just 263 of the best opportunities worth making offers on. This is the same process I use to work smarter, spend less on marketing, and focus my time where the best deals are most likely to happen.

I sat down with Austin Marvel to talk about one of my favorite topics in real estate investing: flipping vacant land. We covered a lot, but one strategy really stood out. Instead of sending complicated mailers or blind offers, I share the simple postcard that has consistently gotten me response rates of 8% to 12%, far better than what I ever saw with houses. It's proof that simple marketing, paired with consistent follow-up, can outperform fancy systems every time.

We also talked about why land investing is such a great business for anyone who wants freedom. I even shared how my teenage sons built a part-time land business that generated over $150,000 in profits using this exact process. You don't need to overcomplicate this business. You just need to market consistently, follow up, and take action. If you're looking for a straightforward way to get started in real estate, this conversation will show you why land continues to be my favorite niche.

What’s Inside: 

—The simple postcard that gets up to 10x more responses than house mailers

—How my teenage sons built a profitable land business part-time

—Why consistent follow-up beats complicated marketing

—The biggest mindset shift that helps new land investors succeed

One of the biggest mistakes I see investors make is spending too much time trying to find the "perfect" market before they ever send an offer. The truth is, you don't need the perfect county. You just need a market where there's already strong demand. In this lesson, I show you exactly how I research new land markets using real data instead of guesswork, and I walk through the same process I use when I'm starting from scratch.

I break down how I use tools like LandWatch and Land Portal to identify active counties, measure demand, and narrow down the best places to mail. More importantly, I explain why you shouldn't overanalyze your decision. Pick two or three solid counties, focus your marketing, and let the numbers guide you. That's how you build momentum and start doing deals faster instead of getting stuck in research mode.

One of my favorite ways to build real wealth with land isn't just flipping it for a quick profit. It's creating long-term cash flow through owner financing. In this conversation, I share one of my favorite land deals, where I bought a property for just $3,700 and turned it into a $13,000 sale with monthly payments that kept paying long after the deal closed.

I also explain why we're kicking off a brand-new market challenge from scratch, showing you exactly how we pick a market, send offers, and make real deals happen. Gavin and I talk about why bigger spreads are easier than most people think and how mixing wholesale deals with owner-financed deals can create both fast cash and lasting passive income. You're only one deal away from changing your financial future, and sometimes the smartest move isn't the fastest payday. It's building income that keeps showing up month after month.

What if you could stop choosing between cash now and cash flow later? In this conversation with my good friend Eddie Speed, I share how I turned a simple $3,800 land deal into a $13,000 owner-financed sale—and why that strategy completely changes the way I look at vacant land investing.

Most investors only make low cash offers and hope one sticks. But when you learn how to give sellers options with owner financing, you can get more deals accepted, create monthly income, and still put money in your pocket upfront. Eddie has bought over 50,000 seller-financed notes, including around 20,000 on vacant land, and he explains why financing is where real wealth gets built.

We also talk about why buying the right land matters, how to avoid the mistakes that trap so many investors, and why thinking like the bank instead of the flipper can completely transform your business. If you're ready to build recurring income without tying up your own cash, you're going to love this one.

—Why offering seller financing gets more offers accepted

—The biggest mistake land investors make when choosing properties

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

What would happen if you stopped trying to learn everything and simply focused on making more offers? That's exactly what Zach did. While helping his wife care for their newborn, he spent about two hours a day working his land business and closed 13 deals in less than 10 months, averaging around $8,000 per deal.

His story isn't about hustle, long hours, or becoming a real estate expert. It's about following a simple system, trusting the numbers, and taking action before you feel completely ready. Too many investors get stuck in research mode, convincing themselves they need more knowledge before making their first offer. Meanwhile, other investors are taking action and closing deals.

I break down why confidence comes after action, not before it, and show how our AI-powered workflow helps remove the guesswork from pricing land and making offers. If you've been waiting for the perfect moment to get started, this conversation will help you see why the best time to act is now.

What’s Inside: 

—How Zach closed 13 land deals working just two hours a day

—Why taking action beats endless research and analysis

—The AI workflow that helps investors make offers faster

—How confidence is built through doing, not preparing
