In this conversation, Dylan walks Clay through how he went from sending blind offers on direct mail to closing development deals worth $300-400K net — including a 22-acre subdivision he closed on seller financing, a rezoning project he personally drove around with the landowner, and a survey hack deal where he split off 30 acres from someone's homestead.

He also breaks down why he focuses exclusively on Wisconsin, how local relationships with landowners, realtors, and title companies have become his biggest competitive advantage, and why he'd go all in on cold calling if he had to start over today.

Nick Le and Renny Benitez started Prime Terra Properties out of Dallas with no systems, no structure, and no real process, just handwritten mailers and a proof of concept that land investing could work.

Last year they 5X'd their business. This episode is about what actually changed.

In this conversation, Nick and Renny walk Clay through how they moved away from cold calling and into a texting-first operation, why they stopped chasing assignments and started buying properties outright, how they found a realtor in Mississippi who gets deals listed and under contract in under 60 days, and the texter-caller hybrid role Nick's brother fills that has brought them five deals this year alone.

Bryson Wallace played college football with one goal in mind — make it to the league. When injuries ended that path, he didn't slow down.

He pivoted to nursing school, found land investing, and closed his first deal in East Texas for $7,000.

A few deals later, he landed a $100K check — and instead of celebrating, he called Clay to figure out how to make it repeatable.

I bought a vacation home in the Rocky Mountains and nearly destroyed my family's financial future.

$10,000/month mortgage. My wife's job disappeared overnight. The COVID Airbnb boom dried up. We were overleveraged, underwater, and out of options — and I was staring down bankruptcy with a wedding on the line.

That rock bottom forced me to stop optimizing the wrong vehicle and start looking for what actually works.

In year one of land investing, we did $650K in profit. Year two: $1.9M. Year three: $3M+.

In this episode I break down the 5 lessons that experience burned into my brain permanently:

→ Don't buy an asset you can't survive losing
→ Check your identity at the door
→ Pick the right vehicle before you optimize the strategy
→ Active income first, passive income later
→ Boring wins

If you're grinding harder than your results deserve, this one's for you.

Last year I lost $65,000 on a single deal. Not because it was a bad deal — because I only had ONE way to close it.

In this podcast I break down how adding double closing to my business added $653K in profit last year.

Same leads, same team, same budget. I also cover the new wholesaling regulations hitting 12+ states and why most investors aren't prepared.
