Tune in as the team discusses:

• Why fear-based headlines about AI replacing investors miss the mark
• The human elements of land investing AI can’t replicate: trust, empathy, and judgment
• Using AI as a delegation and automation tool—not a replacement for decision-making
• How land investing conversations often involve storytelling and “land therapy”
• Practical AI use cases for land investors: training, intake simulations, and analysis
• Why sellers still want to talk to real people before signing deeds
• The role of AI in speeding up due diligence while keeping humans in control
• How relationships—not algorithms—drive off-market land deals
• Preparing for an AI-powered future without losing authenticity
  

TIP OF THE WEEK

Mark: Use AI to save time on analysis and repetitive tasks, but keep humans front and center for relationships and decisions.

Mike: Sellers don’t just sell land—they sell stories. Empathy and trust are advantages AI can’t replace.

Jon: Treat AI like an intern—let it handle 80% of the work, then apply human judgment to finish strong.

"Isn’t it time to create passive income so you can work where you want when you want, and with whomever you want?"

Tune in as the team discusses:

• Why high interest rates hurt traditional real estate but barely affect land investors
• How paying cash and acting as the bank eliminates interest rate risk
• The impact of expensive financing on flippers, landlords, and syndicators
• Why motivated sellers increase when the economy tightens
• Creating demand by offering owner financing when banks won’t lend
• Building passive income through land notes instead of leveraged debt
• How simplicity and repeatability outperform complex real estate models
• Why land investing thrives in both high-rate and low-rate environments
• The long-term advantage of controlling price, terms, and buyer experience

TIP OF THE WEEK

Mark: When interest rates rise, focus on deals that don’t rely on banks—land investing lets you control the terms and remove macro risk.

Scott: Build a simple daily routine for your land business; consistency is the foundation of longevity and success.

Jon: Don’t wait for rates to change; land investing works in any rate environment because you’re not dependent on traditional financing.

"Isn’t it time to create passive income so you can work where you want when you want, and with whomever you want?"

Tune in as the team discusses:

• Why the housing crisis is really a land shortage in disguise
• How land investing avoids tenants, repairs, and midnight emergencies
• Creating affordable ownership through owner financing instead of banks
• Buying land 1–3 hours outside major cities to capture future growth
• Using minor subdivisions for forced appreciation without major risk
• Selling land to future homesteaders, investors, and recreational buyers
• How alternative housing (tiny homes, modular homes, solar) changes the game

• The power of simple, repeatable land deals versus complex real estate models

TIP OF THE WEEK

Mark: Look for opportunity outside the city—minor subdivisions and affordable land create forced appreciation without massive risk.

Scott: Focus on land parcels people can afford monthly; a wide buyer pool makes land safer than large, expensive deals.

Mike: The best improvement to land is making it affordable—owner financing turns raw dirt into recurring income.

Jon: Don’t overthink it; repeatable rural subdivisions with access and usability are easier to scale and sell.

Tune in as the team discusses:

• Why traditional real estate often requires major capital, time, and emotional stamina

• Which demographic trends and owner behaviors indicate someone is ready to sell
• How AI can turn a large mailing campaign into a smaller, more profitable list

“Don’t be a land snob. If the numbers work, there’s a buyer. Weird properties still sell when you get them at the right price.” — Mike Zaino

“Momentum matters. Use tools that remove busywork so you can stay consistent. Efficiency creates deal flow.” — Jon Burnett

"Isn’t it time to create passive income so you can work where you want when you want, and with whomever you want?"

Tune in as the team discusses:

• Why “I’m too busy” is often a sign that you need a time-buying business, not a reason to avoid one.
• How just 30–60 minutes a day can build momentum and replace hours of wasted scrolling or noise.
• The power of doing a simple time audit to uncover hidden hours in your week.
• How Scott and Jon managed the land business while working full-time, raising kids, and dealing with life.
• Why momentum matters more than perfection — even 1–2 hours a week can fuel progress.
• How routines, time blocking, and daily habits help you stay consistent.
• Why systems, VAs, and automation reduce your workload instead of adding to it.
• What it looks like when “the script flips” and the business starts giving you more time than it takes.
• How to think long-term: a temporary sacrifice now turns into long-term freedom later.
• Community tips for staying focused: social media fasts, dopamine detox, Pomodoro timers, and schedule resets.

TIP OF THE WEEK
“Do a time audit. You have more time than you think — you’re just spending it driving, scrolling, or zoning out. Swap 30 minutes a day for learning land investing, and it will buy your time back later.” — Scott Bossman

“Automate and delegate early. Don’t hold on to every task. Free up your time so you can focus on deals, growth, and the parts of the business that matter most.” — Mike Zaino

“Don’t stop. Momentum doesn’t maintain itself — whether you have one hour a week or ten, keep moving. The small steps you take now eventually give you all your time back.” — Jon Burnett
