The Real Deal w/ Neil Clements

The 15-Point Due Diligence Checklist Every Land Investor Needs

42: In this episode, I break down the 15 due diligence checks I go through before buying any piece of land. These are the exact steps my team and I use to avoid costly mistakes in land investing, land flipping, and real estate development. We cover zoning, flood zones, utilities, title issues, surveys, market comps, road access, environmental concerns, and more. If you're buying vacant land, subdividing property, or building a real estate portfolio, this checklist can save you from expensive surprises. Too many land investors skip critical due diligence and end up with unbuildable lots, title problems, or properties nobody wants. I’ve personally learned many of these lessons the hard way, and this video walks through exactly what to verify before you close on a deal. 📊 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)!

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)!
