Raw Land Investing: 6,500 Deals, Zero Losses, Total Freedom - Mark Podolsky: "The Land Geek"| Our Family Invests

from Our Family Invests Podcast · host Our Family Invests

Raw land investing has produced 300 to 1,200 percent returns for Mark Podolsky across 6,500+ deals since 2001. He has never lost money on one. His business runs on about two hours a week. Mark, known as The Land Geek, joins Mike and Caroline to break down exactly how the system works and why most people talk themselves out of an investment vehicle that quietly keeps printing. Mark walks through the full model: buying rural parcels at 25 to 35 cents on the dollar from delinquent tax owners, seller-financing them back out via land sale contracts, and automating collections through his own software, GeekPay. He also gets into the risks, the due diligence process, why the margins have barely moved in 24 years, and what he calls the second mountain shift that turned a personal win into a broader mission. How to find and buy raw land at 25 to 35 cents on the dollar using delinquent tax records Why seller financing via land sale contracts eliminates foreclosure costs entirely How GeekPay automates note management across thousands of active deals The remote due diligence process Mark runs without ever visiting the property Why raw land margins have held at 300 to 1,200 percent for over two decades The three entry points Mark offers: self-directed, done-with-you, and done-for-you Subscribe to The Weekly Compass, our free weekly newsletter with short practical tips for building wealth, aligning your family, and living intentionally: https://OurFamilyInvests.com/newsletter
