This Land Strategy Turns $8K Lots Into 6-Figure Deals
Andrew Short’s journey into land investing is anything but conventional, and that’s exactly what makes this episode so compelling.
From skipping college and learning finance the hard way to flipping houses and ultimately uncovering massive opportunity in land, Andrew breaks down how one key realization changed everything, a huge portion of their profits wasn’t coming from the house at all, it was coming from the dirt.
In this conversation, Andrew explains how he and his team transitioned from house flipping into high velocity land deals by spotting inefficiencies, applying real financial analysis, and focusing on value creation instead of industry “rules” like ARV. His story is raw, practical, and packed with insight for anyone who’s ever felt boxed in by traditional real estate strategies.
What really sets this episode apart is Andrew’s deep dive into how professional land operators think differently, from land development, wetlands, and septic strategy to marketing, funding relationships, and deal velocity.
He shares why land clearing is often the biggest value add, how smarter due diligence eliminates risk before closing, and why strong relationships with capital partners matter more than shaving a few points off funding costs.
Whether you’re new to land or already doing deals, this episode challenges the shortcut mindset and shows what it really takes to scale with confidence, credibility, and long term success. If you want to understand land investing at a higher level, and learn how top operators actually build wealth, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
