Crushing Land is back — and we’re shifting the focus. In this episode, Jonathan breaks down why many investors are dropping out of land investing and why some of that comes from holding onto the wrong mindset from the COVID-era market, when deals moved faster, money was cheaper, buyers were easier to find, and many strategies seemed easier than they really were. That market has changed. Land investing still works, but investors need to think differently, analyze markets more carefully, and stop relying on broad, generic advice. This episode uses the Orlando real estate market as a practical example. Jonathan compares traditional rentals, short-term rentals, and vacant land opportunities in Central Florida, showing why vacant land in growth corridors may be one of the more overlooked investment plays in the market. You’ll hear about: • Why many investors are struggling in today’s land market • How the post-COVID real estate mindset needs to change • Orlando rentals vs. short-term rentals vs. vacant land • Why growth corridors matter for land investors • How vacant land can offer opportunity without landlord headaches • The due diligence issues that matter in Central Florida, including flood zones, wetlands, sinkholes, zoning, utilities, insurance, and title concerns • How to evaluate a market instead of blindly following generic investing advice Even if Orlando is not a market you are interested in, this episode shows the type of specific, practical breakdowns Crushing Land will focus on going forward: real markets, niche topics, specific risks, and actual investor strategy. Land is still a viable investing avenue — and in many ways, as the market shifts, it may be even more viable for investors who are willing to analyze better, think differently, and avoid crowded strategies.
