The Real Deal w/ Neil Clements

Why Land Flipping Broke Me in 2025 w/ Jon Newth

40: In this powerful episode of The Real Deal with Neil Clements, firefighter and land investor John Newth opens up about one of the most honest journeys I’ve heard in our space. He crushed it in 2024, nearly $200K in profit from land deals, appeared on the REtipster channel, built momentum… then 2025 hit like a freight train. Market shifted hard; scaling attempt backfired; team let go; ~$100K spent with little to show. John shares the mental lows, the confidence hit, why he almost quit, what pulled him back (coaching + masterminds), and exactly what he and Travis King are doing now: fewer but bigger subdivides + targeted double closes via cold calling. If you’ve ever felt stuck, lost momentum, or wondered if the land game “still works,” this raw conversation is for you. 📊 Manage Land Deals Like a Pro with Stride CRM [https://go.retipster.com/stride/shownotes] Built for land investors—organize leads, track deals, and close faster 🔎 Land Portal: The Data Edge Every Land Investor Needs [https://go.retipster.com/landportal/shownotes] Get the Data You Need to Find Deals & Make Smarter Land Buys 🙋🏻‍♂️ Get the REtipster Newsletter (It's FREE)!
