Adan made $250K in gross profit flipping land last year with one employee and AI doing the rest. Almost every deal came from New Mexico, and he couldn't crack any other state. We went through his numbers live and built the plan to get him to $400K in net income. We cover the math on 21,600 mailers a month, why he's pausing cold calling, speed to lead, getting days held down, and why you double down on the market that's already working. 🌲 Apply To Work With Me: https://landman.io/deal-engine?utm_source=spotify&utm_medium=podcast&utm_content=adan-teardown 🌎 Join our Free Community: https://landman.io/community?utm_source=spotify&utm_medium=podcast&utm_content=adan-teardown ✅ Land Portal Free Trial: https://landportal.com/claytonhepler/ Submit a deal for funding: https://landman.io/deal-funding-submission?utm_source=spotify&utm_medium=podcast&utm_content=adan-teardown

In 1985 Warren Buffett shut down the textile mill Berkshire Hathaway was built on. The lesson he took from it is why I made $366,000 on one parcel in Idaho last month, with 8 more deals closing worth over $4 million in net profit. In this episode I run the real numbers on apartments, house flips, wholesaling, buying a business, the stock market, and AI side hustles, and explain why I believe land is the opportunity of the next decade, driven by over 300 million acres of farmland set to change hands in the next 20 years. 🌲 Apply To Work With Me: https://landman.io/deal-engine?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=audio&utm_content=which-boat 🌎 Join our Free Community: https://landman.io/community?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=audio&utm_content=which-boat

Doom and gloom gets clicks. Meanwhile, the operators who adapted are still closing big deals.In this episode, Ajay Sharma from Land Closers Academy and I break down 6 strategies that are making money right now: curative title on heirship and landlocked parcels (one bought for $40K and sold for $159K three weeks later), seller financing arbitrage, negotiating harder, going from a minor to a major subdivide (a deal that went from not penciling to $500K profit), simple property improvements that cut months off your sell time, and the exact numbers for mobile home on land packages. 🌎 Join our Free Community: https://landman.io/community?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=video&utm_content=land-strategies-2026💰Submit a land deal for funding:https://landman.io/deal-funding-submission?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=video&utm_content=land-strategies-2026

In 2021, 1,000 blind offers could make you $20K–$40K. Today it takes around 6,000, and return on ad spend has dropped from 30–50X to 6–10X. In this episode, I sit down with Ajay from Land Closers Academy to break down the 6 biggest shifts in land investing from pre-COVID to 2026, and what to do about each one. 🌲 Apply To Work With Me: https://landman.io/deal-engine?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=video&utm_content=land-investing-2026-ajay Submit a deal for funding:https://landman.io/deal-funding-submission?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=video&utm_content=land-investing-2026-ajay

Six months ago, Alex Martinsen had never done a real estate deal. Today his team at LotLine Homes is building land home packages across the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida, with a goal of 100 homes in their first 12 months.In this episode, Alex breaks down why manufactured homes on land are one of the most overlooked plays in real estate, how he structured a 4-partner team around capital, land, operations, and sales, and the exact buy box they use to pick lots (acreage, zoning, septic, and what they pay). 🌲 Apply To Work With Me: https://landman.io/deal-engine?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=video&utm_content=100-homes-12-months🌎 Join our Free Community: https://landman.io/community?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=video&utm_content=100-homes-12-months Submit a deal for funding:https://landman.io/deal-funding-submission?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=video&utm_content=100-homes-12-months

That's why their deals sit for months. In this episode I break down the full 4-channel land marketing system my team uses to sell every deal we close — from market selection and data to outbound marketing, agent relationships, and direct buyer acquisition. I also cover the sell-through rate framework that tells you exactly when to drop your price, when to wait, and how to build a buyer database that makes every future deal easier to sell than the last.

Today he runs a six-figure land business, builds creative content around the industry, and is building something that goes well beyond the next deal. In this episode, Austin and I get into the real story behind his journey, how he got started, what almost made him quit, the mindset shift that changed everything, and why he believes land investing is one of the few vehicles left that lets an ordinary person build generational wealth without a trust fund or a head start. We also talk about creativity as a competitive advantage in a commoditized industry, what it actually means to build a legacy versus just making money, and why the operators who win long-term are the ones who are playing a different game than everyone else.

Most land investors have pieces of a system. A list here. A dialer there. A CRM they half-use. But no complete picture of how everything connects, and that gap is exactly why deals fall through and the business never scales past the founder. In this episode I draw out my entire land business system on a whiteboard. Every stage. Every role. Every metric.

In the next 20 years, $1.9 trillion of farmland is changing hands. Aging farmers are retiring. Their kids don’t want the land. And America needs more affordable housing than ever. That’s not a problem, that’s the biggest real estate opportunity of the next decade. In this episode I’m standing on a 67-acre property in South Carolina we bought for $320,000. We’re subdividing it into 14 lots — ten 2-acre home sites and four 8-acre finger tracts — and projecting a $620,000 exit.

We bought 10 acres in Florence, South Carolina for $75,000. If we flipped it as raw land, we'd make around $60,000. Instead we're subdividing it into 6 lots, dropping a manufactured home on each one, and projecting $300,000 in profit. Same dirt. Four to five times the money.In this video I walk the property and break down the entire deal from start to finish.

This month my team and I did $250,000 in profit. Not because we added more marketing, more channels, or more tools. Because we deleted things. I call it culling. And it’s the one process almost nobody teaches that changed my business more than anything else — more than hiring, more than software, more than any new tactic. In this video I walk through the 4 filters I run every single week to keep my operation sharp, lean, and producing.

In this video I give you the exact 6-step framework I use to find what I call the asymmetric lever — the one move in any business that creates 50x the output for the same hour of input. This isn’t a land investing video. It’s a business video. Whether you’re running a real estate operation, an agency, a service business, or an e-commerce brand — the principle is identical.

In this episode I walk through all five in order from bad to catastrophic: running without a scoreboard, confusing activity with leverage, zero underwriting discipline (the one that cost me $60K on a single deal), pricing for the comp instead of the buyer, and treating marketing as a volume game instead of a filtering game.

I owned 65 rental units and a $1.2M Airbnb by 26. And I almost went bankrupt. In this episode Clay Hepler breaks down the 10 real estate lies that cost him six figures before he caught them — about debt, tenants, depreciation, scale, and competition — and explains why the operators quietly winning right now walked away from houses years ago.
