In this episode, I’m sitting down with Ron Apke, half of the Apke Brothers and co-founder of Country portal.
These guys are changing the game in land investing software. We discuss what it’s really like to start a company with your brother, the biggest mistakes in land investing, and how Land Portal is solving massive problems in the world of real estate data. Tons of great ideas in this one!

- Hear why new investors waste too much time on less-important initiatives like LLC formation and market selection instead of launching their first marketing campaign.
