  1. The Land Market Has Shifted. Here's What Works Now.

    The Land Market Has Shifted. Here's What Works Now.

    264: A special roundtable episode where four active land investors (Katie Desmarais, JT Olmstead, Shelby Wengreen, and Arturo Paturzo) come together to talk about what's really working in the land business right now, and what's not. (Show Notes: REtipster.com/264) One year after launching Stride CRM, I wanted to bring together a group of investors who are actively in the trenches to have an honest conversation about the market shifts we're seeing. The truth is, the land business has changed. Some strategies that worked just a year or two ago are now completely broken. But new opportunities are emerging for investors willing to adapt. Katie runs a structured operation with a team of 10, focusing on flips and subdivisions. JT has been in the game for years and just rebuilt his business midyear after realizing his old playbook wasn't working anymore. Shelby moved from casting a wide net to targeting deals with $20K+ profit margins. And Arturo is running a multi-strategy business while serving as an active-duty Navy officer in Italy. Together, they share what's actually working: hyper-intentional lead management, strategic follow-up cadences powered by automation and AI, owner financing as a new leverage point, and a ruthless focus on sales skills. You'll also hear what's broken. Blind offers, spray-and-pray marketing, and the days of easy one-touch closes are gone. We dig into team structure, KPIs, the role of data vs. human connection, and the uncomfortable reality of competing against smarter operators. If you're struggling to get deals in 2026 or just looking to stay ahead of the curve, this conversation will give you the clarity and direction you need.

    The AI Shift No One Is Ready For w/ Callan Faulkner

    263: I sat down with Callan Faulkner to talk about what’s actually working with AI right now and how it’s changing the way we build and run businesses. (Show Notes: REtipster.com/263) A year ago, AI felt like a cool tool. Today, it’s becoming the operating system behind everything. In this conversation, we break down how AI agents, automation, and custom-trained systems are replacing manual work and unlocking massive leverage. We also talk about what’s overhyped, what still requires human judgment, and how real estate investors (especially land investors) can start using AI to gain a serious edge. If you’re trying to scale your business, free up time, or just understand where things are going, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss. 📊 Manage Land Deals Like a Pro with Stride CRM Built for Land Investors!

    From Apache Pilot to Land Investor w/ Cody Cuvillier

    262: In this episode of the REtipster Podcast, I talk with Cody Cuvillier, a land investor who built a full-time land investing business while serving as an Army officer and Apache helicopter pilot. (Show Notes: REtipster.com/262) Cody shares how he went from treating land investing as a side hustle to building a structured, KPI-driven company with a team that handles cold calling, texting, acquisitions, and follow-up. We talk about the moment in early 2025 when he almost quit, why his business stalled, and the realization that changed everything: he simply wasn’t generating enough leads. Since then, Cody has tripled his lead flow, rebuilt his acquisition systems, and implemented daily accountability across his team. He also explains the exact KPIs he tracks, how he structures his acquisition pipeline, and what it takes to scale toward a $1M gross profit goal without destroying margins. If you're trying to build a scalable land investing business in 2026, this conversation is packed with practical insights you need to hear!   📊 Manage Land Deals Like a Pro with Stride CRM Built for Land Investors!

    The End of Easy Land Deals w/ An Undercover Millionaire Land Investor

    260: A few years ago, JB was running a 7-figure land investing business built almost entirely on direct mail and blind offers. Now? Things have changed. (Show Notes: REtipster.com/260) In this episode, we talk honestly about what’s not working in land investing anymore, why “send more mail” isn’t the answer, and how JB pivoted from small land flips to large subdivide deals and million-dollar acquisitions. We talk about tighter margins, rising competition, double-closes, ROAS collapse, and the uncomfortable questions most land investors are asking privately but not publicly. This isn’t hype. It’s a real conversation about adapting your real estate strategy when the market shifts. If you’re a land investor, thinking about getting into land flipping, or questioning your current business model, this episode will give you a lot to think about. 📊 Manage Land Deals Like a Pro with Stride CRM Built for Land Investors!

    From Rockstar to Zero as a Land Investor w/ Mike Ferreira

    259: For years, Mike Ferreira was one of the heavy hitters in the land investing space. He built a highly automated land flipping business, selling owner-financed properties with huge margins and predictable cash flow. Until it stopped working. (Show Notes: REtipster.com/259) In this episode, Mike shares how market shifts, junk land, seller financing risk, and ego led to the collapse of his real estate strategy—taking him from millionaire status to deep debt. This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s an honest conversation about what happens when success blinds you, why ultra-cheap land can become dangerous, and what land investors need to rethink about owner financing in today’s market. If you’re building a real estate portfolio or relying on cash flow from land, this episode might save you years of pain.   📊 Manage Land Deals Like a Pro with Stride CRM Built for Land Investors!
