If you want consistent cash flow while others are sitting on the sidelines, this episode is a must-listen.

Tune in as the team discusses: 

  • Why land investing outperforms during recessions

  • The mindset shift that separates panicked sellers from strategic buyers

  • What to look for in land deals during economic downturns

  • Real stories from land investors who grew their income in past recessions

  • How to build a resilient land business that’s insulated from market chaos

TIP OF THE WEEK

Mark: In a recession, people want simplicity. Land is simple. You’re not stuck with tenants, repairs, or market volatility. You’re holding a real asset that doesn’t go to zero.

Jon: If you’re feeling uncertain, that’s the best reason to stick to a proven system. The process works—you just have to trust it.

“Isn’t it time to create passive income so you can work where you want when you want, and with whomever you want?”

In this episode, Mark and the Nite Cap team—Mike Zaino, Jon Burnett, and Scott Bossman—sit down with Roberto Chavez, a former attorney who flipped his life and career through land investing. Roberto shares how he went from long hours at a law firm to working from home near his family while earning more than he did as a lawyer. From his first $500 deal that turned into $10,000, to leaving his legal career behind, Roberto walks through his land investing journey, the mindset shifts required, and the power of focus, systems, and community in building a profitable land business.

Tune in as the team and Roberto discuss: 

  • How Roberto transitioned from being a lawyer to a full-time land investor.
  • The impact of his first successful deal and how it proved the model.
  • Why land investing offers a path to time freedom unlike other real estate niches.
  • The importance of focus and avoiding “shiny object syndrome.”
  • How Roberto schedules his week using the 12-week year strategy.
  • Mistakes he made (like pausing mailers) and what he’d do differently.
  • The power of community support and coaching in navigating hard times.
  • Tips on building momentum, staying consistent, and scaling over time.
  • Why land investing works even with a small initial budget.
  • Roberto’s daily routine and what true lifestyle freedom looks like.

TIP OF THE WEEK

Scott: You don’t need a lot of money to get started. What you need is creativity, drive, and the willingness to follow the process. That’s where the real magic happens.

Mike: Momentum is everything. Whether it’s a $500 deal or $5,000 deal, what matters is taking consistent action. Keep mailing. Keep marketing. Keep learning. That’s how you grow.
