Land Investing Mastery: Mike Deaton Reveals How to Build Wealth

Build wealth with land — no tenants, no toilets, just opportunity. In this episode of Walk In Victory, host NaRon Tillman sits down with land investor Mike Deaton, co-founder of Flipping Dirt, to break down how he walked away from the corporate world and built a profitable land investing business from the ground up. Mike shares step-by-step strategies for:

• Finding off-market land deals
• Evaluating raw land so you don’t get stuck with a bad property
• Flipping land for quick profit vs. holding for long-term wealth
• Creating passive income and financial freedom through simple, repeatable systems

If you’re curious about real estate but don’t want the stress of tenants, repairs, and traditional rentals, this episode shows how land investing can be a powerful, beginner-friendly path into real estate and entrepreneurship. Use this conversation as a blueprint whether you’re:

• Recovering from layoffs
• Looking for a flexible side hustle
• Or ready to build a full-time land business
