From Debt to $100K Flipping Land (No Experience Needed)
In this episode of the Real Estate Investing Podcast, Ron sits down with Nolan, a guest who’s taken an unconventional path from dropshipping to land flipping, and built real traction in just 12 months. Nolan shares how a single podcast episode sparked his obsession with land investing, eventually pushing him to dive in despite a demanding schedule and a cautious, analytical personality.
From sending 13,000 mailers without a single contract to nurturing early leads for months, Nolan’s journey shows the real side of building a land business: slow starts, self-doubt, and the gritty persistence needed to stay the course. His breakthrough didn’t come from luck, it came from follow-up, consistency, and refusing to quit when things were quiet.
As the conversation unfolds, Nolan breaks down the evolution of his marketing, from mailers to full-blown cold calling, and how tracking KPIs became the backbone of his growth.
He walks through his early deals, including a creative double-lot flip he snagged for just $2,000 and turned into $17,000 in a week. Now, with seven purchases, five sales, and two properties on the market, Nolan is gearing up to scale with a lead manager and aiming for 250 leads a month by 2026. His biggest lessons? Follow up relentlessly, stay consistent, choose one mentor to follow, and take small, iterative action instead of spraying money everywhere.
This episode is packed with real, relatable insights for anyone starting or scaling a land business.
