February 04, 2025 Smart Strategies to One-Up the Competition in Land Investing in 2025
Is competition in land investing rising? Absolutely—but it’s still way lower than most industries. In this episode, Ron and Daniel Apke break down the reality of competition in the land flipping space and, more importantly, how to stay ahead of it.

The truth is, most people psych themselves out before they even start. Instead of focusing on "too much competition," look at the top players making seven figures and learn from them.

Ron and Daniel dive into why competition is increasing (low risk, big profits, low capital needed) and, more importantly, how to outmaneuver it.

They share three key strategies: tackling bigger deals like minor subdivides, going after high-ticket double closings, and using survey hacking to unlock deals no one else is targeting.

If you're serious about scaling and avoiding the competition trap, this episode is a must-listen.

January 14, 2025 How to Choose the RIGHT Market for $600K+ Subdivide Land Profits
In this episode, the Apke Brothers, Daniel and Ron, dive into selecting the perfect market for subdividing land—a strategy that’s skyrocketing in popularity for land investors in 2025.
They explain how focusing on subdivide deals can allow you to scale back on the number of deals you do each year while still earning massive returns. With just 2-3 well-chosen subdivide projects, it’s possible to make $600k–$800k annually.

Learn how to determine if a subdivide deal makes sense, what to look for in your local market, and why data analysis (like road frontage and land usability) is key.
The brothers also discuss the importance of having a solid sales and marketing plan to ensure success. Whether you're working remotely or prefer boots-on-the-ground strategies, this episode will give you the insights needed to crush your next big land project!
