    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!

    The Lead Conversion Framework That Works w/ Nicholas Nick

    275: Most real estate investors think lead generation is the hard part. But in reality, the biggest problem is usually lead conversion.

We cover cold calling, seller psychology, follow-up systems, emotional intelligence, and why so many investors accidentally kill deals before they ever have a chance to close.

    When the Side-Hustle Becomes Everything w/ Ann Danielson

    274: What happens when your side hustle becomes your only income? (Show Notes: REtipster.com/274) In this episode, I talk with Ann Danielson about leaving behind a decades-long teaching career overseas to go all in on land investing. Ann shares the reality of walking away from stability, navigating uncertainty, and building a land business centered on freedom rather than constant hustle. We talk about subdivides, why straight land flips stopped working for them, how they find off-market deals without direct mail or cold calling, and what it feels like when the stakes suddenly get very real. This conversation goes way beyond land investing. It’s about identity, risk, reinvention, and choosing the kind of life you actually want to build. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re ready to leave the safe path, this episode will hit home. 📊 Manage Land Deals Like a Pro with Stride CRM Built for Land Investors!
