Tune in as the team discusses:

• Why the housing crisis is really a land shortage in disguise
• How land investing avoids tenants, repairs, and midnight emergencies
• Creating affordable ownership through owner financing instead of banks
• Buying land 1–3 hours outside major cities to capture future growth
• Using minor subdivisions for forced appreciation without major risk
• Selling land to future homesteaders, investors, and recreational buyers
• How alternative housing (tiny homes, modular homes, solar) changes the game
• Why land investing remains strong while large developments cool off
• The power of simple, repeatable land deals versus complex real estate models

TIP OF THE WEEK

Mark: Look for opportunity outside the city—minor subdivisions and affordable land create forced appreciation without massive risk.

Scott: Focus on land parcels people can afford monthly; a wide buyer pool makes land safer than large, expensive deals.

Mike: The best improvement to land is making it affordable—owner financing turns raw dirt into recurring income.

Jon: Don’t overthink it; repeatable rural subdivisions with access and usability are easier to scale and sell.

Scott: Build a simple daily routine for your land business; consistency is the foundation of longevity and success.

Mike: Use land arbitrage to get started with minimal capital—control property without buying it outright and profit from the spread.

"Isn’t it time to create passive income so you can work where you want when you want, and with whomever you want?"

Tune in as the team discusses:

• Why traditional real estate often requires major capital, time, and emotional stamina
• How land investors can get started with as little as $500–$5,000
• Why land deals are simple, repeatable, and scalable, unlike houses where every deal is a unique project
• How land can be bought and sold sight unseen using online tools and due diligence

• How defaults can actually boost profits because the asset returns to the seller
• Why land appreciates over time—even though appreciation isn’t the primary strategy
• How small wins build momentum faster than waiting for one “big deal” payday
• Who the real end buyers are: people who want freedom, recreation, and their first piece of property
• Why land investing removes tenants, toilets, termites, and midnight emergencies—forever

TIP OF THE WEEK

“We buy land at steep discounts because there’s low emotional attachment. That’s where the opportunity is.” — Scott Bossman

“Land is the entry-level gateway to real estate. Start small, reduce your risk, and learn how real investing works.” — Mike Zaino

“Choose the model that gives you time freedom. Simplicity and repeatability will always beat complexity.” — Jon Burnett

"Isn’t it time to create passive income so you can work where you want when you want, and with whomever you want?"

Tune in as the team discusses:

• How Fred used AI to cut massive mailing expenses while maintaining (and often improving) deal flow
• Why machine learning removes human assumptions and eliminates bias in seller targeting
• Which demographic trends and owner behaviors indicate someone is ready to sell
• How AI can turn a large mailing campaign into a smaller, more profitable list
• The difference between language model “hallucinations” and supervised machine learning
• Why both individual owners and entities like LLCs and schools can now be scored accurately
• Why scrubbing your list manually is a costly mistake that can eliminate hidden opportunities
• How smarter mail targeting reduces financial waste and environmental impact

TIP OF THE WEEK

“Data, not trauma. Stop making decisions based on assumptions or past emotional experiences. Let the numbers tell you what’s real.” — Scott Bossman

“Don’t be a land snob. If the numbers work, there’s a buyer. Weird properties still sell when you get them at the right price.” — Mike Zaino

“Momentum matters. Use tools that remove busywork so you can stay consistent. Efficiency creates deal flow.” — Jon Burnett

"Isn’t it time to create passive income so you can work where you want when you want, and with whomever you want?"

Tune in as the team discusses:

• Why “I’m too busy” is often a sign that you need a time-buying business, not a reason to avoid one.
• How just 30–60 minutes a day can build momentum and replace hours of wasted scrolling or noise.
• The power of doing a simple time audit to uncover hidden hours in your week.
• How Scott and Jon managed the land business while working full-time, raising kids, and dealing with life.
• Why momentum matters more than perfection — even 1–2 hours a week can fuel progress.
• How routines, time blocking, and daily habits help you stay consistent.
• Why systems, VAs, and automation reduce your workload instead of adding to it.
• What it looks like when “the script flips” and the business starts giving you more time than it takes.
• How to think long-term: a temporary sacrifice now turns into long-term freedom later.
• Community tips for staying focused: social media fasts, dopamine detox, Pomodoro timers, and schedule resets.

TIP OF THE WEEK
“Do a time audit. You have more time than you think — you’re just spending it driving, scrolling, or zoning out. Swap 30 minutes a day for learning land investing, and it will buy your time back later.” — Scott Bossman

“Automate and delegate early. Don’t hold on to every task. Free up your time so you can focus on deals, growth, and the parts of the business that matter most.” — Mike Zaino

“Don’t stop. Momentum doesn’t maintain itself — whether you have one hour a week or ten, keep moving. The small steps you take now eventually give you all your time back.” — Jon Burnett

"Isn’t it time to create passive income so you can work where you want when you want, and with whomever you want?"

Tune in as the team discusses:

• Why nearly all new investors fear getting stuck with a parcel — and why that fear goes away after your first few sales.
• How unrealistic expectations (price, terms, ads, timing) sabotage early momentum.
• The role of consistent marketing — and why one ad is never enough.
• How buyer avatars help you sell even “weird” or “challenging” parcels.
• Why your personal bias (“I wouldn’t buy this”) doesn’t matter — because the right buyer sees value differently.
• Handling properties with washes, slopes, floodplains, or quirks — and how to turn them into selling points.
• Creative exit strategies: wholesaling, bundling properties, repositioning ads, and adjusting terms.
• How negotiating counteroffers works — and why you shouldn’t feel pressured to take every deal.
• Why buying right (at 25–35¢ on the dollar) protects you even if a parcel takes time to sell.
• Psychological wins: sometimes moving one property wholesale is all you need to regain confidence and momentum.

TIP OF THE WEEK
“If your land isn’t selling, don’t blame the land — check your marketing. Adjust the ad angle, refine your pricing, increase posting frequency, and try new buyer avatars. Ninety-nine percent of the time, it’s a marketing problem, not a land problem.” — Scott Bossman

“Use the challenges to your advantage. If a property has a wash, slope, or quirk, negotiate it down when buying — and flip it into a selling point when you list it. The right buyer will see opportunity where others see obstacles.” — Mike Zaino

“If a property isn’t selling, don’t assume it’s the property — assume it’s the marketing. Rework your ads, pitch different angles, and keep posting. One ad is never enough. Consistency wins every time.” — Jon Burnett

Tune in as the team discusses:

• How to research and select profitable counties using repeatability, affordability, and “fishability.”
• Why buying land at 25–30¢ on the dollar builds a margin of safety.
• The difference between blind offers and neutral letters — and why blind offers save time.
• Due diligence essentials: taxes, access, zoning, and property characteristics.
• The three types of closings — direct, mobile notary, and title company — and when to use each.
• Why marketing should start immediately after acquisition and how to build your buyer’s list.
• Selling strategies: wholesale, retail, and owner-financing for consistent cash flow.
• How automation and delegation turn a side hustle into a scalable business that buys your time back.

TIP OF THE WEEK
“Land investing isn’t easy — it’s simple. Follow the process: research, mail, verify, close, and market. The boring parts are where the money is made. Rinse and repeat, automate what you can, and watch your consistency compound into freedom.” — Scott Bossman

• Real cash and terms deal breakdowns from Scott, Mike, and John
• The importance of capital recovery and why 72% yield is the goal
• Using the calculator live during negotiations
• What LandArb is and how it creates infinite returns with little capital
   

TIP OF THE WEEK
“Use the calculator while negotiating. Adjust the down payment, monthly payment, or term and watch how your yield changes in real time. If it stays above 72%, it’s a strong deal.” — Scott Bossman

"Isn’t it time to create passive income so you can work where you want when you want, and with whomever you want?"

Tune in as the team discusses:

• Why “analysis paralysis” holds beginners back — and how taking imperfect action beats endless learning.
• How to stay consistent with mailing and marketing so your land business never stalls.
• The danger of “gotta-have-landitis” and how to evaluate your first deals with clear, data-driven judgment.
• Why knowing your numbers (expenses, ROI, and margins) is essential for long-term success.
• When and how to delegate tasks or hire a VA before burnout sets in.
• The power of automation tools like LGPass and GeekPay to simplify daily operations.
   

TIP OF THE WEEK

“Delegate before you drown. Don’t wait until you’re overwhelmed to outsource. The earlier you automate repetitive work — like mailing, due diligence, or intake calls — the faster you’ll scale without burnout. Tools and VAs aren’t expenses; they’re growth multipliers.” - Mike Zaino
