In this episode, Ron Apke sits down with Mike, a construction worker turned full-time land investor, to share his inspiring journey. With an entrepreneurial spirit and a background in side-hustles like Amazon dropshipping, Mike discovered land investing in mid-2022 through a mentor—and never looked back.
Starting with mail marketing, he landed three deals from his very first campaign, averaging $23,000 profit per deal. However, like every investor, Mike faced challenges, prompting him to shift strategies and focus on high-value subdivide projects.
Mike shares the secrets behind his cold-calling approach, how he pitches double-closing deals to land sellers, and the details of three incredible deals under contract that will net him over $310,000 to kick off 2025.
He also offers practical advice for aspiring land investors and discusses his ambitious 2025 goal of hitting $1 million in gross profit. Whether you're new to land flipping or looking to level up, this episode is packed with actionable insights and inspiration!
