From New Investor to a $34K Land Deal

Getting started in land investing can feel overwhelming, but Erik Sevillano proves that with discipline, consistency, and the right mindset, early success is possible.

In this episode of The Real Estate Investing Podcast, Erik shares how he transitioned from wholesaling infill lots into land flipping after realizing the model aligned better with his long term goals and values. Within months of focusing on land, Erik built a system centered around texting and direct outreach, sending around 20,000 messages per month when he first started. That consistency quickly paid off when he landed his first full cycle deal for $18,000, giving him the proof of concept that this business model truly works.

Since then, Erik has continued building momentum, closing multiple deals including a recent $34,000 assignment while scaling his outreach to roughly 50,000 texts per month. What stands out most about his approach is how disciplined he is, not just in business but in life.

Erik credits his success to building strong daily habits, maintaining a consistent routine, and focusing on mastering one marketing channel before trying to scale or add complexity. His story is a powerful reminder that land investing doesn’t require a huge team or complicated systems to succeed, it requires persistence, consistent marketing, and the willingness to push through the inevitable ups and downs of entrepreneurship.

Watch the full episode to hear Erik break down his process, the lessons he learned in his first year, and how he’s preparing to scale his land business even further.
