The VA Who Runs a Land Business Better Than Most Owners19 Aug 202500:58:44

232: In this episode, I talk with Imee, the 24-year-old executive assistant who’s become the backbone of a land investing empire.

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/232)

Imee isn’t your average VA. She’s running operations across multiple businesses, hiring and managing global teams, building systems, protecting the CEO’s time, and even closing deals. We cover exactly how she earned that trust, what she looks for in other team members, how she motivates a remote team, and what investors often get wrong about working with overseas talent.

If you’ve ever thought about hiring a VA (Virtual Assistant) or EA (Executive Assistant) for your land investing business, this conversation will completely change the way you think about their potential.

Why ZipRent’s $150 Model Is Disrupting Real Estate w/ Arvand Sabetian17 Jun 202501:00:08

224: In this episode, I sat down with Arvand Sabatian, the founder of ZipRent, to discuss how he's transforming the world of rental property management.

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/224)

Arvand shared how his frustration with traditional property managers led him to create a tech-enabled, full-service solution that offers transparency, consistency, and flat-rate pricing across 15+ states (and counting).

We discussed the problems with traditional property management, why ZipRent doesn't charge a percentage of rent, how they use lockboxes and AI to lease properties faster, and what makes them radically different in this industry. Arvand also explained how he's growing ZipRent to a new state every month and why most landlords have never seen a company like this.

If you own a rental property or are thinking of becoming one, you don’t want to miss this!

How AJ Osborne Went from Comatose to a Multi-Millionaire in the Self-Storage Business20 Dec 202201:38:27

146: In this episode, I'm talking with AJ Osborne, CEO of Cedar Creek Capital.

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/146)

As someone who has been deeply immersed in the self-storage investing business over the past year, I can tell you that this guy is a well-known figure in this industry. He runs an annual event; he has bought millions of square feet of storage space; he has an amazing YouTube channel; he's an author, speaker, syndicator, and many other things.

AJ founded a private equity company called Cedar Creek Capital because he wanted others to benefit from the same financial freedom that saved his family at a time when they needed the security most. He has been featured on top real estate podcasts and is the go-to resource for self-storage investment advice across social media platforms.

In this interview, we'll talk about AJ's story, how he went from a coma to a multi-millionaire, and how he has created huge opportunities for many others in this industry.

How to Get the Best Borrowers Every Time w/ Max Bailey06 Dec 202201:18:58

145: If you've ever sold land with seller financing, and if you've taken the approach of not pulling credit reports or investigating the borrower's ability to repay (i.e., loan underwriting), you're probably familiar with the disappointment of a borrower who stops paying and leaves you to pick up the pieces.

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/145)

What if there was a better way to create a more predictable income stream from each property you sold with owner financing?

There is! And the process is surprisingly easy, especially if you enlist the help of a residential mortgage loan originator (RMLO).

In this episode, I'm talking with Max Bailey from CalltheUnderwriter.com to discuss the "how" and the "why" of using an RMLO. After hearing the rationale behind this kind of service, you may ask why you wouldn't use this for every seller-financed property you sell in the future!

How Dave Denniston Builds Winning Teams for Multiple Businesses22 Nov 202201:12:11

144: When I first met David Denniston in the summer of 2018, he was already doing some cool things as a land investor.

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/144)

As one might expect, his business has evolved far beyond where it was in those days.

In this episode, we’ll talk about where Dave has been, how he's managed to build a sizeable team, how he's done so well investing in tax liens and tax deeds, and where he’s headed in the coming months and years (and a lot of other valuable nuggets in between).

The Tragic Truth About Tax Deed Sales (And How to Fix Them) w/ Brenda Flatter08 Nov 202200:43:38
143: Brenda Flatter is the VP of National Sales for US Tax Deed Solutions and Executive Director of National Title and Settlement Services for Title & Abstract Agency of America.

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/143)

I met Bren recently through a mutual connection, and after hearing about what she specializes in, I thought her services were quite relevant to the world of land investing.

If you've worked as a land investor, you've probably encountered your fair share of properties with a tax sale in their title history.

Tax sales create a problem in a property's chain of title (for reasons we'll discuss in this interview), and US Tax Deed Solutions has an interesting way to solve the problem faster and cheaper than getting a quiet title action.

How Eddie Speed Uses Seller Financing to Buy More Land and Make More Money11 Oct 202201:08:22

141: Not long ago, I was part of a webinar panel discussing the state of the land industry. On that panel, one of the other panelists was Eddie Speed.

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/141)

I hadn’t heard much about Eddie Speed before this webinar, but as soon as his name came up, it seemed everyone else knew the guy and respected him.

As we got more into this panel conversation, it was apparent to me that Eddie was very, VERY knowledgeable about the subject of notes, buying and selling notes, and seller financing (especially as it pertains to vacant land, which is a rare thing indeed).

Over the past 40 years, Eddie has closed over 50,000 private mortgage note deals totaling over $500 million, and through his company, Note School, he has trained over 10,000 real estate investors.

Eddie knows a lot about creative ways to get deals done, and he loves seller financing, which is a highly relevant topic to land investors.

What No One Tells You About Investing in Parking Lots, Garages and Structures w/ Kevin Bupp27 Sep 202201:22:46

140: Kevin Bupp is a Florida-based real estate investor and best-selling author with over $250 million of real estate transactions. He has loads of experience with apartment buildings, single-family portfolios, medical office space, self-storage, assisted living, and his three favorites and by far the most profitable, Mobile Home Parks, Parking Lots, and Build-To-Rent Communities.

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/140)

Kevin educates investors on how to locate, acquire, and create “higher than average” returns through commercial real estate investing. He shares his expertise through one of the longest-running Commercial Real Estate Investing Podcasts.

In this episode, I'm talking with Kevin about a very profitable real estate niche that doesn't get discussed very often: parking lots and parking structures. There is a lot to know about finding, evaluating, and making money from these properties. I think you'll find it just as fascinating as I did!

The Simple Land Investing “Hacks” That Won Ajay His Absolute Freedom13 Sep 202201:22:55

139: We recently had the honor of interviewing Ajay Sharma.

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/139)

Ajay has been a vacant land investor for nearly two years. He started the way most of us do, flipping land as a part-time gig shortly after graduating from Indiana University. He got some early wins that propelled him to the point of being able to quit his job about 18 months after he started. Ajay now gets to work full time from his desk in downtown Chicago. And get this… the guy is just 24 years old!

Ajay will tell us his story and explain some key events, decisions, people, and mindset shifts that enabled him to get to where he is.

Zero to 1200+ Storage Units in 3 Years. How Jon Farling Did It.30 Aug 202201:31:54

138: I met Jon Farling in 2019 at the first-ever BiggerPockets conference in Nashville.

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/138)

At the time, I was just beginning to learn about self-storage investing, and Jon had just purchased his second facility. His storage business was still in its infancy, and he was still working his W2 job, but I could see he was going places fast.

A few months later, we started a small mastermind group, and I continued to learn a lot from him and others in the group.

Jon fascinated me because he was a real person in the trenches. I didn't need an 'expert' with a course or software to sell me. I needed someone to tell me the unvarnished truth about the highs and lows of the business.

Fast forward to mid-2022, and Jon has quit his job and now owns eight facilities with over 1,200 storage units. His life has changed dramatically in a good way, and I've been amazed at how far he has gotten in three short years.

In this interview, Jon will tell us how he made it happen, the best and worst parts of the business, and what life is like owning a business that makes a lot of money without requiring much of his time.

$1-3 Million Per Month in the Land Business w/ Doug Smith19 Jul 202201:20:28

135: I discovered Doug Smith about a year ago when I heard his interview with Austin Peek on Millionaire Interviews. 

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/135)

SCAMMED! When Someone Tries to Steal Your Property, What Can You Do?05 Jul 202201:08:45

134: Today, I’m coming to you with a true story about a scam involving identity fraud, money laundering, and other white-collar crimes.

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/134)

In May of this year, someone posted an article about identity thieves using fraudulent deeds to steal people’s property in Florida.

Then someone else posted another article in the comments about how a couple in Florida was arrested for stealing 67 Florida homes.

Then another guy named Eloy Ochoa commented that a similar scam almost happened to him in SW Florida.

At first, when I heard about this, I wanted to brush it off as a random thing that rarely happens, but when I started hearing story after story of this happening (all in Florida, for some reason), I knew I had to investigate this further.

So, I reached out to Eloy and he was happy to do a recorded call with me, and that’s what you’re about to hear in this episode.

How Land Investors Can Start Using 21st Century Marketing Techniques w/ Callan Faulkner14 Jun 202201:42:42

132: Callan Faulkner runs a company called REI Optimize, a high-end, done-for-you - CRM and technology implementor for land investors.

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/132)

I met Callan earlier this year at a real estate investing conference. As we were standing around in the same circle, I listened as she talked about her ideas and experiences, and I kept having all of these “WOW” moments. It hit me that she was really smart! She had some fascinating ideas and seemed to know what she was talking about.

In this episode, we wanted to give her the stage so she could share these new concepts with the larger audience of land investors because there are a lot of marketing approaches that most of us aren't even thinking about, let alone implement.

How the Land Flipping Business Has Changed Since 2016 w/ Matt Peterson31 May 202201:06:08

131: Matt Peterson has found his stride as a land investor.

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/131)

Matt started as a part-time land investor back in July 2016 and, in his first year, bought 72 properties and sold 54 of those, half for cash and half on terms.

In January 2019, he pulled the plug on his corporate job in project management for a Fortune 20 engineering & consulting firm in Houston to take on land investing full-time. To date (as of May 2022), he has 2 full-time employees (1 full-time W2 employee & 1 full-time commission-based employee) and a few VAs as well.

The fun thing about talking to people like Matt is that it’s a great reminder of how everyone is a teacher. Matt has a lot of unique experiences in his business; he knows things that I don’t know and you probably don’t know either! In this conversation, we'll learn everything we can about how he found his success.

Over 2,000 Land Deals Without Any Direct Mail. How Does He Do It?19 Apr 202201:37:45

128: This past month, I met Casey Inman at the Real Estate Wealth Builders Conference.

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/128)

As I got to talking with him, I discovered something very interesting about his approach to the land investing business. This guy doesn’t rely on direct mail at all. It literally plays no part whatsoever in his process of finding deals.

I found this fascinating and it struck me that we need to get this guy on the podcast to learn more about what he’s doing.

Why is this important? Because a lot of us land flippers look at direct mail like it's the lifeblood of our business and THE ONLY real way to get deals. But Casey is tangible proof that there are plenty of other ways to find deals and keep them coming in the door.

Does Land Banking Really Work? Here Are The Questions You Should Be Asking05 Apr 202201:12:29

127: Land banking is something I’ve always had a basic understanding of, but there are certain aspects of it that have always confused me (like how to predict what the value of land will be 10 years from now) and other parts of it have turned me off (like the idea of just sitting on a property for years).

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/127)

I’m definitely not an expert in this sub-niche of land investing, but I wanted to get in touch with someone who is, so we could dissect this strategy and figure out how it works.

Brad Warren is a land banking consultant and I thought Brad would be a good person to help clear up some confusion about why and how some land investors choose this approach.

If land banking is something you'd like to try out, hopefully, Brad’s input can help you figure that out for yourself.

He Was Laid Off Twice—Then Wayne Boerger Built a Land Funding Empire03 Jun 202501:13:57

222: I recently sat down with Wayne Boerger, a seasoned land flipper turned land deal funder who now runs Nordic Sky Capital.

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/222)

Wayne shares the incredible story of how two unexpected layoffs became the catalyst for launching a new chapter in land investing—moving from flipping to full-time funding. He breaks down what it takes to attract great land operators, how to vet the right capital partners, and how strategic relationships are reshaping the land investing landscape.

We also talk about how fear and comfort zones can keep you stuck—and how the right community and mentorship can give you the push you need to finally make the leap.

This is a must-watch episode if you've ever wondered how to scale your real estate strategy or if funding land deals might be your next move.

Ever since then, this guy has become a powerhouse land investor. He’s introduced me to some really important people over the years and he’s the kind of guy I go to when I have questions and want to hear his thoughts and learn about what’s working for him.

Travis is also a land investing coach who helps people who want to focus on bigger deals and scaling things up, which we’ll get into as well.

120: Dustin Heiner and I have known each other for a few years now and he’s been a great person to know in the real estate blogging space.

(Show Notes: REtipster/120)

Dustin reached out to me a couple of months ago to let me know about a new real estate investing conference he’s putting together called the Real Estate Wealth Builders Conference.

Dustin’s going to tell us what this conference is all about, who it’s for, and why you might want to consider checking it out.

We’re also going to hear a little bit about Dustin’s story because it’s a really cool story and I think we can all learn a few lessons from what he's been through.

How Jesse Finds the Best Options for Buying Vacant Land04 Jan 202201:37:44

119: Today we’re talking with Jesse Marchand.

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/119)

I first got connected with Jesse a couple of years ago when we started the REtipster Facebook Group and he volunteered to be our moderator and he has been hugely helpful in helping us keep that community on track and thriving.

As I’ve paid more and more attention to this guy, I’ve found that he’s actually got a wealth of experience and he’s seen a whole lot of things and learned a whole lot of lessons that we can all benefit from.

What's Going to Happen in 2022? Interview w/ Kathy Fettke21 Dec 202100:49:23

116: Today we’re talking with Kathy Fettke of the Real Wealth Network.

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/118)

This is our second conversation with her (you can hear the first one back in episode 80). Kathy is the host of the Real Wealth show, which was one of the first podcasts on iTunes with thousands of episodes and millions of downloads. She’s a well-established name in the real estate industry.

She is also the co-founder of the real estate investor network and a frequent guest expert for major media outlets like CNN, CNBC, Fox News, Bloomberg, NPR, CBS Marketwatch, and the Wall Street Journal.

Think of any big name in the real estate industry, and there’s a good chance Kathy is good friends with them.

Kathy specializes in teaching people how to build multi-million dollar real estate portfolios through creative finance and planning and today, we’re talking with her about the current state of the real estate industry and where she thinks it’s going.

This is an important topic to think about because right now, we’re seeing things that have never happened before, and while nobody knows the future, it’s still pretty helpful to talk with a person like Kathy about where things might go and why.

7 Creative Ways to Get Into Self Storage w/ Paul Moore07 Dec 202100:57:47

117: Today I'm talking with Paul Moore of Wellings Capital.

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/117)

Normally, I wouldn’t be interviewing the same person again so soon, but I heard back from a lot of people who LOVED our first conversation with Paul in episode 111.

And interestingly enough, I just heard that Paul is putting out a book with BiggerPockets about self-storage investing.

Self-storage has been hot on my radar this past year because I’ve been laying the groundwork for a new construction project on my first storage facility. I’ve been deeply entrenched in this world and thinking through a lot of the risks and rewards of this business, and I’m frankly curious to hear what Paul has to say about it.

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/115)

Not long ago, someone suggested that I take one of these members-only calls and publish it as a podcast episode.

I thought it was a great idea, so I put together a sampler of some of the various questions and answers from these sessions over the past few months.

If you're a land investor and/or if you've ever wondered what these calls are like, this Q&A mash-up should give you a pretty good idea of what it's all about. Enjoy!

Turning Vacant Lots Into Glamorous Cash Flow Machines w/ Robuilt26 Oct 202101:18:49

114: Earlier this year, I stumbled across another YouTuber who was putting out some fascinating videos about a topic that I've been interested in for a long time.

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/114)

The channel is called Robuilt and it's run by a guy named Rob. Rob runs an Airbnb business that allows visitors to stay in tiny houses and glamping sites that provide a unique experience.

This is a topic many land investors are interested in because it presents an opportunity to generate recurring income from their vacant lands.

If you've done more than a dozen land transactions, you've probably seen your share of vacant lots that are beautiful properties in great locations. Perhaps YOU would even enjoy spending time there, but as a land flipper, your goal is to simply flip the property, make a profit, and move on to the next one.

But what if you didn't flip land? What if you kept some of these properties as a long-term investment and instead, invested a small amount of money in a tiny house, RV, or glamping unit, and turned it into a source of income?

What are the different ways this can be done? What does it take to manage this kind of business? How much time, effort, and energy are required to make this happen?

Today, we're going to talk with Rob about how his business works and maybe, you'll learn enough to decide whether this is something you want to pursue yourself.

Jaren Moves On12 Oct 202100:30:39

113: Back in the summer of 2018, I started working with Jaren Barnes.

He was the first person I had ever hired as a full-time employee for REtipster.

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/113)

He was a special find for someone like me because he had a lot of specialized experience, not only in the world of content creation but also as a land investor and house wholesaler. He had all kinds of great insights to share, not based on theory, but based on his first-hand experience.

Over the past three years, he has made some incredible contributions to the content library at REtipster and he brought a new voice and personality to the podcast and YouTube channel.

As of October 1, Jaren is leaving REtipster to pursue his own projects. Jaren is still a great friend of the REtipster Community and we'll still hear from Jaren from time to time on the podcast, but we won't be seeing much from him on the blog or YouTube channel anymore.

Let's talk about what's next for Jaren and why he's moving in a different direction.

Everything You Need to Know About Land Entitlements w/ Mike Marshall28 Sep 202100:47:42

Today I'm talking with Mike Marshall about land entitlements.

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/112)

Believe it or not, I didn’t know hardly anything about the concept of getting land entitlements until about a year ago because, for most of my land investing career, I had never done any improvements or development with any of the vacant lots I’d flipped. I just bought them for really cheap, did nothing to them, and then resold them for a higher price.

That’s all good and fine, and there are a lot of advantages of taking that approach, but what if you DO want to develop your land, or even if you don’t develop it yourself, but you want to obtain all the necessary approvals from the local government so that the next guy can start developing it? 

This is called the entitlement process. Land entitlement is the legal process where a real estate developer or landowner obtains approval from the local governing body for their development plans.

When a property receives its entitlements, it brings certainty to the equation, so you know a property can be used for a specific purpose and developed a certain way (so you don’t have to buy a property without knowing if you’ll be able to use it for your intended purpose). This certainty actually adds value to the property.

I’m talking with Mike Marshall because he’s an expert in this stuff. With nearly 20 years of experience in the land entitlement space, he knows all about how to entitlements to add value to a property without ever having to touch it. Whether it's subdivisions, change of use permits, zoning changes, or full-scale development, Mike knows how to help investors navigate the regulatory waters on their pathway towards entitlement approval.

Our Best Advice On Hiring Virtual Assistants31 Aug 202100:56:06

#110: Today we’re talking all about when, why, and how to hire VAs for your real estate business (or for that matter, any business).

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/110)

Hiring VAs is one of these things people love to talk about as an easy solution to every business problem, but in my experience, it’s not quite that simple.

First of all, you need to have the money to pay for one. A decent VA isn’t necessarily that expensive, but it’s important to acknowledge that when you’re starting out and you’ve got a limited budget, hiring a VA isn’t an easy option for everyone. You need to get to the point of some profitability before you can jump into this.

There’s also a lot that goes into finding the right person, for the right job, keeping them on task, paying them appropriately, and A LOT more.

In this conversation, we’re going to talk about some of the things we’ve learned in our experiences of finding and hiring people.

The Biggest Warning Signs When Buying Vacant Land17 Aug 202101:10:09

109: Several years ago, I wrote a blog post that blew up and became one of the most popular articles on REtipster.

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/109)

It was called The Truth About Land Investing: 21 Warning Signs to Look for When Buying Vacant Land and the reason I wrote this was because after years of buying and selling land, I recognized there were a lot of tricky due diligence issues with every property I dealt with, and I wanted to create a solid list of the most common problems and stumbling blocks I had encountered.

This due diligence checklist can apply to anyone buying land for any purpose, but depending on whether you're a land flipper or the end-user, there will be some differences in your perspective on these issues.

Not all of these issues need to be scrutinized for every deal, depending on where the property is located and what you’re planning to use it for, but regardless of your situation, this is a good list of items to be aware of, so you don't get stuck with a property without recognizing some of the problems ahead of time.

Even with properties that do have some of these problems, there is still hope in many cases, you’ll just be limited in what you can use it for.

Job-Free in Less Than a Year - Interview with Caleb VanTimmeren and Kyle Aho03 Aug 202101:10:12

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/108)

I had lunch and with Caleb and he told me his story, and I was kind of blown away because he and his business partner Kyle Aho have been able to reach the dream that so many aspiring real estate investors are after, and they did it relatively quickly, all during a time when the competition has been very high and real estate prices have been insanely expensive.

Today we’re going to talk about how they both did this while working full-time jobs, how they found deals that could actually cash flow, how they found the money to make it all happen, and a lot more.

7 Ideas To Help You Fund Land Deals Like A Pro - Interview w/ Reid Kurtenbach20 Jul 202101:21:03

107: Reid Kurtenbach has been a member of the REtipster community for some time now, and he has been funding land deals across the US for land investors since 2019, using both his self-directed Roth IRA and his own personal capital.

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/107)

We thought it would be interesting to bring Reid on the show because this idea of funding land deals has grown to be pretty popular in recent years, and for good reason.

There are some land investors who get into the business, they see the opportunity, they work some deals themselves, but they realize pretty quickly that they don’t have the time or the desire to do all of this hands-on work themselves. However, they DO still believe in the business model and they have the money.

Likewise, there are some land investors who DO have the time and desire to find and work the deals, but they don't have the money to keep deals flowing through their pipeline. They need someone who understands the land business (because most conventional lenders don’t) and is willing to provide the funds they need to buy the properties.

Most land investors fall into one of these two camps… and regardless of which camp you fall into, it’s important to understand the perspective of the money partner who is willing to contribute the money and let the active investor take the lead while expecting a certain return after the deal is done.

  • What’s it like to work with someone like this?
  • What are the challenges in this kind of relationship?
  • Why should or shouldn’t someone partner with a private money partner?

There are a lot of things to unpack in this kind of partnership, and Reid is going to give us his perspective on it.

This is also an interesting issue for us to explore because Jaren is coming at this from the other side, as the active investor who is using other people’s money to fund deals… so there will probably be some different options and perspectives as we talk about how things should look from both ends.

How Meir Shemtov Transformed a Steep, Unsellable Vacant Lot Into a Cash-Flowing Luxury Resort20 May 202501:10:39

220: In this episode, I sit down with Meir Shemtov to uncover how he turned an overlooked piece of sloped land into a luxury micro resort that’s booked solid.

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/220)

We dive into every stage of his journey: from acquiring a $200K hillside lot that nobody wanted, to working through the intense permitting process, to finding high-end prefab glass villas from Estonia, and raising over $500K on Indiegogo through a brilliant Facebook ads strategy.

You’ll learn what it takes to build a short-term rental that’s truly unique, how to tap into existing traffic from nearby attractions, why being “remarkable” is more important than being cheap, and what kind of mindset and team make this possible.

This is Meir's first full public breakdown of the business—and it’s packed with insights for land investors, short-term rental owners, and anyone exploring boutique hospitality.

How Ryan Chaw Doubled His Rental Income Using the Rent-By-Room Model08 Jun 202100:54:16

104: In this episode, I’m talking with a guy named Ryan Chaw. Ryan is an interesting guy who has been featured on BiggerPockets and a number of other podcasts over the past year because he’s got a cool thing going.

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/104)

By most people’s standards, he’s a pretty normal guy, working a normal job and pursuing the American Dream like the rest of us. He’s got a lot in common with most of our listeners out there and over the past few years, he’s been able to build up a nice little rental property portfolio on a part-time basis that is bringing in well over $10K per month in rental income.

He did this using a rent-by-room model, which is kind of like house hacking on steroids because he's been able to earn double the amount he could normally make if he had used his properties as conventional rentals.

In this conversation, we’re going to talk about how he did this, some of the important lessons he’s learned along the way, and how you can follow a similar roadmap if you want to create something similar for yourself.
