225: In this episode, Ajay and I sat down with Josh Pierce, a fast-rising land investor who built a high-performing business from scratch in under two years. Josh went from having zero experience and no capital—literally funding the business on a credit card—to now running a team of nine and generating six figures in monthly gross profits.

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/225)

What makes Josh especially fascinating is his unconventional but wildly effective approach to gaining trust from sellers. He sends gourmet cookie boxes. No joke. This “cookie closer” method has helped him win deals that most land investors would have lost.

We dig into everything, from how he transitioned from fitness coaching to land investing, what he learned from taking massive risks, building and scaling his team, and his unique take on building trust with sellers. Josh also shares the truth about texting vs. direct mail, his hiring strategy, and what most new land flippers are getting completely wrong.

If you're serious about scaling your land investing business or just want a new way to approach sellers, you need to hear this.

224: In this episode, I sat down with Arvand Sabatian, the founder of ZipRent, to discuss how he's transforming the world of rental property management.

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/224)

Arvand shared how his frustration with traditional property managers led him to create a tech-enabled, full-service solution that offers transparency, consistency, and flat-rate pricing across 15+ states (and counting).

We discussed the problems with traditional property management, why ZipRent doesn't charge a percentage of rent, how they use lockboxes and AI to lease properties faster, and what makes them radically different in this industry. Arvand also explained how he's growing ZipRent to a new state every month and why most landlords have never seen a company like this.
