In this episode (#306) of The Real Estate Investing Podcast, Ron Apke addresses a common question from the land investing community: "When and how should I hire an employee to help scale my business?" With land investing’s high margins, just one deal can cover the cost of an employee, making outsourcing tempting.
However, Ron emphasizes the importance of mastering every aspect of the land flipping process before hiring, to avoid the costly mistake of bringing someone on too early.
Ron shares his insights on the best time to hire, starting with outsourcing to a Virtual Assistant, and explains how to effectively train your team with a "business playbook" of videos and clear expectations.
He also touches on the importance of building a strong company culture and core values as you scale.
Whether you’re just starting or looking to grow, this episode provides a roadmap to building a successful land business without rushing into hiring.

In this episode #305 of The Real Estate Investing Podcast, Daniel and Ron Apke break down the steps to doing your first 6-figure land flipping deal and reveal a game-changing truth: there’s not much difference between landing a $20k deal and closing a $100k deal.
While smaller deals are perfect for beginners, they emphasize that it doesn't take much more effort to close on larger, higher-profit deals. You’ll get an in-depth look at the key differences between a $20k profit flip versus a 6-figure deal, and why investors shouldn’t shy away from bigger opportunities.
The brothers dive into the mindset shifts, marketing strategies, and funding sources that helped them scale from smaller $15k flips to million-dollar deals. They share their personal journey, starting with sub-$100k deals and now targeting projects worth $1.5 million or more, showing that with the right approach, scaling up is much easier than many think it is.
This episode will inspire you to grow your land investing business and push beyond your current limits by embracing the bigger deals that can skyrocket your profits!
