In this episode, I reconnected with Luis Melo, a high-volume land investor who blew me away with what he’s done since our last conversation in 2021. He’s flipped land through double closings, assignments, and seller financing, without risking much of his own money.
What’s even more impressive is how he turned an 800-acre deal into 471 subdivided lots, built a team of 10 VAs, scaled it to deals over $12 million, and why he still uses cold texting as his number one acquisition channel.
If you are a land investor (or want to be), you need to listen to this episode.
