In this episode, the team dives into one of the most common questions in land investing: should you focus on quick land flips for fast cash, or hold properties for long-term passive income through owner financing? Mike Zaino shares his personal journey of eliminating debt with wholesale deals, while the group weighs the pros and cons of both strategies. It’s a no-fluff, practical conversation designed to help you align your investment style with your personal financial goals.
Tune in as the team discuss:
- Why quick land flips may be the right path when you’re just starting out or trying to pay off debt fast.
- How Mike paid off $40K in debt within a year through wholesale deals.
- The downsides of relying too heavily on fast cash—and how it can become addictive.
- The benefits of passive income through owner financing and how it builds long-term wealth.
- Why a healthy land business should balance both strategies based on deal flow and goals.
TIP OF THE WEEK
Scott: There’s no one-size-fits-all. Some seasons call for cash, others for cashflow. What matters is having a clear goal and adjusting your strategy to match where you are.
Mike: Quick flips helped me knock out $40K in debt fast. But over time, I realized I wasn’t building lasting income. Fast cash is great—but don’t forget to build something that pays you long-term.
