How Mike Balcom Built a 30-Person Land Team

Episode 4: I sit down with Mike Balcom to talk about building and leading a high-performing land investing team. Mike has scaled to 8 core team members and 25–30 data scrubbers across multiple countries. We talk about hiring overseas virtual assistants, building leaders inside your business, and creating systems that allow you to step back. One of the most interesting parts of this conversation is how Mike uses AI in his land business. He built a custom GPT that grades sales calls, gives feedback to acquisitions reps, and helps streamline operations. We also discuss leadership highs and lows, including letting go of a loyal early team member and how to handle tough conversations with empathy. If you're building a land investing business and want to scale with systems, leadership, and AI, this episode is packed with practical insights. 🤝 Leadership in Land Skool Community (It's FREE!)

Our Q1 2026 Cash Flow Report (Real Numbers)

Bonus episode: I break down what really happened in our land investing business during Q1. We brought in about $700K in revenue, but the cash flow tells a different story. Between buying land, paying off hard money loans, and deals taking longer to sell, this quarter showed how easy it is for profits to shrink. I also walk through our numbers, strategy, and what we are changing going into Q2. From subdividing land to choosing between debt and equity, I share what is working and what is not. If you are a land investor or thinking about getting started, this is a real look at what it takes to build a profitable business. 🤝 Leadership in Land Skool Community (It's FREE!)

Scaling Down to Scale Up with Kendall LeJeune

Episode 3: Kendall LeJeune talk about his shift from house wholesaling to land investing.

4 Case Studies in Q1 2026

Bonus episode: I’m breaking down four real land investing deals we’ve completed across different markets and sharing exactly what happened, both good and bad. I walk through the numbers on each deal, including purchase price, resale value, holding costs, and final profit. Some deals performed as expected, others didn’t, but all of them offer valuable lessons for land investors trying to adapt to today’s market. If you’re involved in land investing, land flipping, or building a real estate portfolio, this is a realistic look at what deals actually look like right now. 🤝 Leadership in Land Skool Community (It's FREE!)
