Show Notes: https://retipster.com/266-travis-king/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcastl&utm_content=WE7lpkgiqDE In this episode, I sit down with Travis King to break down what’s really going on in today’s land investing market. A lot of investors are doing the work, sending mail, generating leads, and talking to sellers, but still not seeing results. So what’s actually broken? Is it the market, the marketing, or something deeper? We dig into the biggest challenges land investors are facing right now, including market selection, lead quality, deal structure, and why dispositions have become the hardest part of the business. We also talk about what’s working today, from value-add strategies like subdividing to assignment deals, and how investors can adapt to a slower, more competitive market. If you’ve been feeling stuck or wondering why your land deals aren’t closing, this conversation will help you diagnose the problem and adjust your approach. 0:00 - Intro to today’s land market 1:05 - Why deals aren’t working 2:29 - Market vs operational problems 3:24 - Diagnosing your business issues 5:48 - Market selection explained 8:20 - Using data to pick markets 9:32 - Choosing the right acreage 11:02 - Subdivide strategy insights 13:43 - Planning for worst-case scenarios 15:14 - When market doesn’t matter 17:47 - Bad data and misleading comps 20:01 - Why marketing “isn’t working” 22:05 - What good marketing looks like 24:13 - Cost per deal explained 25:54 - Best marketing channels today 29:10 - Is land flipping dying? 30:39 - Why value-add is winning 33:59 - Fastest way to get paid 35:36 - Good leads vs bad leads 38:15 - Why deals fall apart 40:14 - Structuring better offers 44:02 - Seller financing strategies 47:29 - Choosing the right deal type 53:48 - How to sell stuck properties 58:14 - Why dispositions matter most 1:00:21 - Finding buyers before you buy 1:02:15 - Transactional vs relational business 1:04:42 - Land vs houses debate #landinvesting #landflipping #realestateinvesting #retipster #landinvestor #realestatestrategy #vacantland #landbusiness #realestatepodcast #investingtips #landdevelopment #cashflow #realestateadvice #propertyinvesting #wealthbuilding *📊 Manage Land Deals Like a Pro with Stride CRM* https://go.retipster.com/stride/yt-WE7lpkgiqDE *Land Portal: The Data Edge Every Land Investor Needs* https://go.retipster.com/landportal/yt-WE7lpkgiqDE (REtipster Affiliate Link) *🙋🏻‍♂️ Get the REtipster Newsletter (It's FREE)!* https://welcome.retipster.com/newsletter/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcastl&utm_content=WE7lpkgiqDE *🚀 Land Investor’s Action Plan (Free 5-Day Course!)* https://welcome.retipster.com/5-day-email-course/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcastl&utm_content=WE7lpkgiqDE *⚠️ Land Buyer’s Survival Guide (Free 5-Day Course!)* https://welcome.retipster.com/survival-guide/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcastl&utm_content=WE7lpkgiqDE *👉 10X Your Income from Land Investing* https://welcome.retipster.com/webinar-invite/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcastl&utm_content=WE7lpkgiqDE *😀 Join the REtipster Forum!* https://forum.retipster.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcastl&utm_content=WE7lpkgiqDE *🛠️ All My Favorite Tools and Resources 🛠️* https://retipster.com/resources/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcastl&utm_content=WE7lpkgiqDE
