244: In this episode, I sat down in person with Alex Reese from Acrewell, a rising star in the land investing world and an absolute YouTube powerhouse. We talk through his journey from eating peanuts in a CVS to flipping hundreds of land deals, building a media brand, and creating a deep educational product for land buyers.

Alex shares the highs, the lows, and the big mindset shifts that got him out of debt and into building real wealth. He also drops a ton of wisdom on soil issues, due diligence, price-per-acre myths, seller psychology, and how YouTube changed the game for him.

243: In this episode, I sat down with Quynh and Tri Vu, a married couple who walked away from their six-figure careers, an IT engineer and a pharmacist, to go all-in on land investing.

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/243)

Their story is packed with insight. We cover how land deals paid more than Quinn's doctorate, how they left behind high-stress jobs for more time freedom, and how they quietly raised capital without even asking for it.

You’ll also learn how their “zero down” strategy led to 50 buyer defaults in one quarter, and why they still consider defaults a win. Plus, Tri shares the dopamine automation he built for their team that keeps everyone motivated with real-time updates.

We also explore whether you can actually run a successful land business with your spouse (without losing your mind).

Whether you're new to land or trying to scale, this one is a masterclass in systems, mindset, and people-first investing.

242: In this episode, I reconnected with Luis Melo, a high-volume land investor who blew my mind with what he's done since our last conversation in 2021. He's flipped land using double closings, assignments, and seller financing, without risking much of his own money.

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/242)

What's even more impressive is how he turned an 800-acre deal into 471 subdivided lots, built a team of 10 VAs, scaled into $12M+ deals, and why he's still using cold texting as his #1 acquisition channel.

If you're a land investor (or want to become one), this episode is a must-listen.

239: In this episode, I talk with Mason McDonald, a land investor, licensed realtor, and adventurer in the wild world of mining claims.

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/239)

Mason shares how becoming a realtor totally changed his land investing game, giving him the edge to make massive commissions, close unusual deals, and tap into a totally new stream of revenue that most land flippers overlook.

We also go deep on mining claims, how Mason bought a gold mine in Alaska for just $30K, and what it means to buy land you don’t technically own.

If you’ve ever wondered what becoming a licensed agent could do for your land business, or what the heck a “mining claim” actually is, this is a MUST LISTEN episode.
