In this episode (#306) of The Real Estate Investing Podcast, Ron Apke addresses a common question from the land investing community: "When and how should I hire an employee to help scale my business?" With land investing’s high margins, just one deal can cover the cost of an employee, making outsourcing tempting. However, Ron emphasizes the importance of mastering every aspect of the land flipping process before hiring, to avoid the costly mistake of bringing someone on too early. Ron shares his insights on the best time to hire, starting with outsourcing to a Virtual Assistant, and explains how to effectively train your team with a "business playbook" of videos and clear expectations. He also touches on the importance of building a strong company culture and core values as you scale. Whether you’re just starting or looking to grow, this episode provides a roadmap to building a successful land business without rushing into hiring.
