In this episode, I caught up with my friend and REtipster Certified Coach Travis King to talk about the major changes we’ve seen in the land investing market in 2025.
We dove deep into why most land investors are quitting, why the old playbooks don’t work anymore, and how the top 20% are adjusting their strategies to win in this tougher market.
Travis also shares insights into market selection at the zip code level, how to double close to reduce risk, and the one skill that’s worth $50,000/hour for land investors.
If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure if this business still works—this episode is for you.
