In today’s digital age, mapping tools are revolutionizing the way we buy land. They provide an easy and accurate way to find and evaluate properties from the comfort of your own home. With these tools, buyers can access satellite imagery, topography maps, aerial photographs and more in order to make informed decisions before investing in a plot of land. No longer do buyers have to rely on traditional methods such as manually surveying or asking for referrals from local real estate agents. Mapping tools have made land buying easier and more efficient than ever before.

This week we have a great episode about a mapping software you must always have in your land investment arsenal. Aaron Shaw, a data scientist for Acres software, joins us. We will get deep into a lot of valuable things that will make you more of a more informed buyer or seller. Acres. Co has all the tools you need. They have a free and paid version of the software, so you can always try things before seeing if they work for you.

If this software entices you, we have a deal to get a yearly premium subscription. It comes at $20 monthly, which is $60 off the annual subscription. You can use the code LANDPODCAST and take advantage of that.

Now, let’s jump in!
