    Is the Real Estate Market About to Break? 2026 Q3 Market Update w/ Neil Clements

    In this 2026 Q3 market update, I’m sitting down with Neil Clements to look at what’s actually happening with buyers, sellers, home prices, migration, interest rates, land investing, and the broader real estate cycle. (Show Notes) One of the biggest changes is the growing imbalance between buyers and sellers. According to the data Neil discusses, many of the markets that boomed during COVID, including parts of Texas, Florida, Tennessee, Arizona, and other Sunbelt markets, have shifted dramatically toward buyers. We also talk about why new construction is creating problems for existing homes, how the mortgage “lock-in effect” is limiting motivated sellers, and why rural and exurban land demand isn’t what it was a few years ago. Then we get into the bigger question: Are we approaching the end of an 18-year real estate cycle? Neither of us has a crystal ball, and this isn’t about predicting an exact crash date. The more useful question is what land investors and real estate flippers can do right now to protect themselves if prices continue moving lower. Neil explains why he’s tightening his underwriting, reducing leverage, cutting stale inventory faster, paying closer attention to local market data, and becoming much more selective about the properties he buys. If you’re involved in land flipping, land development, manufactured homes, house flipping, or any other short-term real estate strategy, this market deserves your attention. 📊 Manage Land Deals Like a Pro with Stride CRM Built for Land Investors!

    How Logan Fullmer Buys Properties Nobody Else Can Touch

    284: In this episode of the REtipster Podcast, I'm sitting down with Logan Fullmer for our third deep dive into curative title investing, a real estate strategy built around properties most investors won't touch. (Show Notes: REtipster.com/284) Logan buys ownership interests in properties with broken chains of title, unresolved estates, multiple owners, liens, judgments, delinquent taxes, and other problems that can make conventional buyers walk away. But this conversation goes well beyond explaining what curative title is. We talk about how Logan has shortened his cash conversion cycle from a year or longer to roughly 90–120 days, how his team identifies the right distressed property owners to cold call, why some of his best opportunities aren't technically complicated at all, and how he protects himself with what he calls a margin of safety. We also get into the human side of these deals. What happens when siblings hate each other? When an owner moves into the property? When someone lies about the family tree? Where is the ethical line when you're buying a potentially valuable ownership interest for a tiny fraction of the property's eventual value? Logan also explains why more curative title investors entering the market haven't materially affected his business, which parts of this real estate strategy beginners should focus on first, and why discipline may matter more than technical knowledge. And since it's 2026, we dig into AI too, including one of Logan's biggest warnings for entrepreneurs: don't spend months building an AI solution when somebody has already built the tool you need for a few hundred dollars a month. If you're interested in real estate investing, distressed real estate, land investing, title problems, probate properties, cold calling, creative real estate strategies, or simply finding opportunities other investors overlook, there's a lot to unpack here. 📊 Manage Land Deals Like a Pro with Stride CRM Built for Land Investors!

    How TJ Visiodei Paid Full Price and Still Tripled the Value

    283: Most land developers sell lots. TJ Visiodei is trying to build something much bigger. (Show Notes: REtipster.com/283) In this episode, I sit down with the founder and CEO of ACTS Decentralized Real Estate to understand how he acquires massive ranches, divides them into 5- to 15-acre parcels, and builds communities around land ownership, food production, off-grid utilities, family, faith, and long-term resilience. TJ explains why his buyers are not primarily motivated by saving money. They want independence, control over essential resources, and neighbors they can count on when life gets difficult. We also get deep into the mechanics of his land development strategy. TJ shares how his first project obtained 104% hard-money financing, how he paid off a $4 million land loan in six months, and how 12 families helped provide the equity needed to acquire a nearly $13 million property. We discuss why ACTS usually pays a seller’s full asking price, what TJ negotiates instead of price, how pre-reservations guide market selection, and why he has never studied a market’s absorption rate. TJ also explains his “Whole Foods rule,” his “Tinder rule” for identifying exceptional properties, and how ACTS can establish land values far above the surrounding comparable sales. This conversation goes beyond land investing. It explores what happens when a company makes its values inseparable from its product, why clearly expressed beliefs can attract stronger customers and employees, and what real community looks like during a personal crisis. 📊 Manage Land Deals Like a Pro with Stride CRM Built for Land Investors!

    The Seller Financing Script That Gets “Yes” w/ Joe & Jenn DelleFave

    282: In this episode, I sit down with Joe and Jenn DelleFave to break down one of the most powerful real estate acquisition strategies available today: seller financing. (Show Notes: REtipster.com/282) Most investors understand the mechanics of owner financing, but very few know how to have the conversations that actually get sellers to say "Yes." Joe and Jenn share the exact framework they use to find motivated sellers, structure creative finance deals, negotiate terms, and acquire properties without relying on traditional bank loans. We discuss how they built a multimillion-dollar real estate portfolio using seller financing, subject-to deals, mortgage wraps, and creative negotiation strategies. They also explain how they generate inbound seller leads through Facebook groups, how they qualify motivated sellers, and the four pillars they use to structure every deal. If you're interested in seller financing, owner financing, creative finance, real estate investing, rental properties, cash flow, or building a real estate portfolio without using banks, this episode is packed with practical insights. 📊 Manage Land Deals Like a Pro with Stride CRM Built for Land Investors!

    The Business Model That Survives Every Recession w/ Drew Haney and Mike Balcom

    281: What actually works in land investing when the market slows down? (Show Notes: REtipster.com/281) In this episode, I sit down with two of my good friends: Drew Haney of Rooster Capital and Mike Baucom, my business partner at Stride CRM. We had no formal agenda, but the conversation quickly turned into a candid look at the current land market, the strategies that still work, and what separates the land investors who survive from those who quit. Drew shares insights from analyzing approximately 850 funded land deals. One of the biggest conclusions was surprisingly simple: boring, smaller land flips often produce the strongest returns. While the industry constantly promotes new real estate strategies—subdivides, entitlements, distressed property, and other value-add plays—some of the most successful land investors continue using the same basic systems they have refined for years We also discuss why the land market no longer feels like the COVID-era boom, whether another real estate crash could be coming, and why transaction volume may matter more than rising land prices. Mike, Drew, and I also get honest about entrepreneur mindset, inconsistent cash flow, failed marketing campaigns, diversification, shiny object syndrome, loneliness, AI, and the importance of building real relationships with other business owners. This conversation is about more than land flipping. It is about staying in the game, improving your systems, and learning to appreciate the difficult seasons of entrepreneurship. 📊 Manage Land Deals Like a Pro with Stride CRM Built for Land Investors!

    From Survival Mode to New Perspective w/ Seth Drehle-Ewan

    279: A lot has changed since Seth Drehle-Ewan first appeared on the REtipster Podcast. (Show Notes: REtipster.com/279) Back then, he was a young land investor building a business with his brother, Bryce. Today, they're running a very different operation, focused on larger land deals, minor subdivisions, and a more targeted real estate strategy. But this conversation goes far beyond land investing. About a year ago, Seth experienced a severe case of Ramsay-Hunt syndrome that completely changed his life. We talk about what happened, how recovery has impacted his identity, business, and relationships, and what it's like trying to navigate a major health challenge while still leading a company. We also discuss how the land investing industry has evolved, why Seth moved away from the traditional "guru" playbook, the advantages of working with family, and the importance of building a business that reflects your own strengths and values. If you're interested in land investing, entrepreneurship, resilience, personal growth, or adapting to major life changes, this episode has a lot to offer. 📊 Manage Land Deals Like a Pro with Stride CRM Built for Land Investors!

    The Google Ads Framework for Land Deals w/ Rick Sheldon

    278: In this episode, I sit down with Rick Sheldon to discuss how he built a highly intentional Google Ads strategy for finding off-market land deals. (Show Notes: REtipster.com/278) Rick shares how he transitioned from residential wholesaling into land investing, why his first acquisition model failed, and how a simple PPC funnel transformed his business. We also break down lead qualification, conversion tracking, negative keywords, AI tools, land subdivisions, seller funnels, and scaling a land investing business through partnerships. One of the most interesting parts of this conversation is how Rick uses Google Ads to train the platform to send more qualified land sellers while filtering out wholesalers, scammers, and low-quality leads. If you're interested in land investing, land flipping, land development, PPC marketing, or building systems that scale, you'll find plenty of actionable ideas in this conversation. 📊 Manage Land Deals Like a Pro with Stride CRM Built for Land Investors!
