    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.

    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!

    The future of land investing isn't coming; it's already here, and it's creating a bigger gap between investors every day.
