Show Notes: https://retipster.com/281 What actually works in land investing when the market slows down? In this episode, I sit down with two of my good friends: Drew Haney of Rooster Capital and Mike Baucom, my business partner at Stride CRM. We had no formal agenda, but the conversation quickly turned into a candid look at the current land market, the strategies that still work, and what separates the land investors who survive from those who quit. Drew shares insights from analyzing approximately 850 funded land deals. One of the biggest conclusions was surprisingly simple: boring, smaller land flips often produce the strongest returns. While the industry constantly promotes new real estate strategies—subdivides, entitlements, distressed property, and other value-add plays—some of the most successful land investors continue using the same basic systems they have refined for years. We also discuss why the land market no longer feels like the COVID-era boom, whether another real estate crash could be coming, and why transaction volume may matter more than rising land prices. Mike, Drew, and I also get honest about entrepreneur mindset, inconsistent cash flow, failed marketing campaigns, diversification, shiny object syndrome, loneliness, AI, and the importance of building real relationships with other business owners. This conversation is about more than land flipping. It is about staying in the game, improving your systems, and learning to appreciate the difficult seasons of entrepreneurship. #landinvesting #landinvestor #landflipping #realestateinvesting #realestatestrategy #landbuyingtips #landfunding #entrepreneurship #realestateportfolio #landdevelopment #businessmindset #realestatecrash #directmailmarketing #artificialintelligence #retipster *📊 Manage Land Deals Like a Pro with Stride CRM* https://go.retipster.com/stride/yt-BvtA30bc8lA *Land Portal: The Data Edge Every Land Investor Needs* https://go.retipster.com/landportal/yt-BvtA30bc8lA (REtipster Affiliate Link) *🏡 Invest in New-Construction Rental Properties 🏡* https://go.retipster.com/sdira/yt-BvtA30bc8lA (REtipster Affiliate Link) *🙋🏻‍♂️ Get the REtipster Newsletter (It's FREE)!* https://welcome.retipster.com/newsletter/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=BvtA30bc8lA *🚀 Land Investor’s Action Plan (Free 5-Day Course!)* https://tools.retipster.com/land-investing-action-plan/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=BvtA30bc8lA *⚠️ Land Buyer’s Survival Guide (Free 5-Day Course!)* https://tools.retipster.com/survival-guide/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=BvtA30bc8lA *👉 10X Your Income from Land Investing* https://welcome.retipster.com/webinar-invite/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=BvtA30bc8lA *😀 Join the REtipster Forum!* https://forum.retipster.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=BvtA30bc8lA *🛠️ All My Favorite Tools and Resources 🛠️* https://retipster.com/resources/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=BvtA30bc8lA
