In this episode, Mark Podolsky, Scott Bossman, and Jon Burnett break down the myth that land investing opportunities are drying up. They explain why the core model—buying land at deep discounts and reselling for strong margins—still works today, and highlight three U.S. states where deals remain abundant. The conversation blends real strategies with personal insights, showing how investors can find repeatable opportunities without competition, tenants, or complexity.
