I haven't paid over 4.5% for RE agents since 2006
Everything is negotiable
It's laughable that people just rolled with this for so long
I learned 2 things as a Realtor:
-10% of agents are worth their salt
-Organizing paperwork isn't worth 6%. Look for value add skills

I try to be careful to limit down side risk on land deals.
I remind myself…
It's more important to avoid bad deals than come up with angles to make every deal work
Sometimes knowing where NOT to invest is the most important decision
I love the Philippines call centers:
- Script discipline
- Consistency in cooperations
- Good work ethic
Building in PH made our cold calling 10x more fluid and productive.
Market saturation in land flipping is a myth.
Here's why:
- There's millions of pieces for sale
- Life changes are usually the catalyst for sales
- The supply constantly renews
- Maybe only a few hundred really active land flippers

Why I left house flipping and got into land
I don't deal with:
- Termites
- Foundations
- Section 1 damage
- Random contingencies
Now I focus on land value, location, and zoning opportunities
Less hassle. More profit
Why are top dogs like Seth Williams betting big on land?
1. The rush for rural gems is ON - More flippers = more competition = BIGGER opportunities
2. Sky-high housing prices? That's pushing smart people towards land investing

Problem with direct mail is that it takes more time and money to tweak. The feedback loop is 6 weeks.
Cold calling feedback is instant and daily.

Same... I do forced long vacations 10+ days
-seeing it on the calendar forces me to delegate and plan for my own absence
-it takes me a few days of vacation to unplug and start to forget work
-in many cases some of my best business developments have happened while I was away
People think waiting a couple months for a land flipping profit is too long?
But the same people are willing to work a job they dislike for decades?
It doesn't make sense.
Scale your land flipping business with cold calling:
It’s not just about making more calls...
It’s about leveraging a system that brings consistent warm leads
Aim for 15,000 contacts per month, vet the most promising, improve, and adapt
Or just let us cold call for you
The key to success in real estate is being system THINKER more than a land EXPERT.
Build systems to:
- Standardize tasks
- Increase scalability
- Streamline operations
This is how you build a business that gives you both time, freedom, AND growth.

- It's a routine task that can be outsourced
- Frees up time for more complex deal-making
- Ensures a steady flow of potential deals without burnout.

The next step is to chase bigger deals
They start flipping deals alongside longer term value add plays
This is how they maintain cashflow while juggling the big deals

- Avoiding the hassle of listing and negotiating
- Getting money quickly so I can move on
- My priorities changed and my time is valuable

@Dak_Malone
Don't sit back making one deal per year & hoping for the best.
Combine smaller flips with value deals on longer timelines to maintain consistent income while working on the home run.
This sustainable approach = long term success.
Land flipping requires:
- Market research on sell
- Thru rates
- Savvy negotiation to secure the best deals
- Diligent title review
- Targeted seller outreach
No silver bullets, just hard work and know-how
Quality data from reputable sources like DataTree and skip tracing from the likes of Easy Button is worth paying for.
I've tried cheaper sources but the downside is less valuable leads.
How I look at scaling a land business:
- Get experience with small deals
- Build systems for acquisition, due diligence, and sales
- Increase deal sizes while optimizing my processes
Be patient.
Grow sustainably.

The best thing a land investor can do?
Hire a specialized team for cold calling:
- Focus on deals, not lead gen
- Build automated systems
- Scale effectively
Zero reasons not to outsource cold calls in 2024
Originally I cold-called for land investors
Then offered acquisition managers + property researchers
Last 2 months I've been head-down working on a big idea...💡
I haven't seen anyone build this yet...
That could mean it's been tried and it's too hard... Or doesn't work 😅

- Flip smaller parcels to sustain cash flow
- Work on large subdivisions while flipping
Sending mailers will only get you so far

I don't waste resources following up with disinterested leads

They never go light on due diligence

- Title issues
- Topography
- Road access
- Zoning restrictions
