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! ================================ WANT TO GET STARTED? ⁠⁠https://landinvestingonline.com/starter-guide-phone/⁠⁠ ================================ SOCIAL Ron's Instagram 📸: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/ronapke/⁠⁠ Dan's Instagram 📸: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/danielapke/⁠ ================================ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Introduction 0:40 Background Before Land 2:26 Discovering Land Investing 3:23 First Three Deals 5:21 Transitioning Business Models 8:21 Current Deals Under Contract to Sell 9:37 Pitching a Double-Close 12:13 Targeting Subdivide Deals 14:53 Goals for 2025 17:08 Thoughts on Survey Hacking 19:46 Cold Calling Strategy 21:31 Advice for New Land Investors 23:34 Saved By a $100K Deal 24:55 Land Compared to other Side-Hustles
