When I first learned about the land flipping business (when I took the time to understand what it was all about), it seemed like the biggest no-brainer investment strategy I'd ever heard of.

The concept was so simple, and when I realized I could find mind-blowing deals and make serious money with such a basic type of property, I couldn't believe this wasn't a more well-known, mainstream business model that everyone and their brother was doing.

Make no mistake about it - the land investing business is a CRAZY profitable investment strategy, and it does deserve more attention from the masses... but at the same time, I've found that a lot of people get into this business with a big, underlying misconception that it's EASY.

  • Easy to find deals.
  • Easy to get them sold.
  • Easy to manage the business.
  • Easy to make money.

The problem with "easy" is that it's a very subjective word.

As someone who has tried their hand at several other business opportunities before the land business, I can tell you that, comparatively speaking, land investing is easier than most business models out there.

However, simply saying it's "easy," PERIOD, would be a grossly oversimplified statement.
