Show Notes: https://retipster.com/238-travis-king/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=iEyddEgPiMA In this episode, I caught up with my friend and REtipster Certified Coach Travis King to talk about the major changes we’ve seen in the land investing market in 2025. We dove deep into why most land investors are quitting, why the old playbooks don’t work anymore, and how the top 20% are adjusting their strategies to win in this tougher market. Travis also shares insights into market selection at the zip code level, how to double close to reduce risk, and the one skill that’s worth $50,000/hour for land investors. If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure if this business still works—this episode is for you. 🔗 Learn more about Travis’s coaching and get the free book at https://go.retipster.com/travisking/yt-iEyddEgPiMA 0:00 - State of the land market in 2025 1:33 - Life and business updates from Travis 4:00 - Balancing family with business 5:06 - From growth mode to operations mode 8:00 - How the market exposes bad habits 11:15 - Why everyone is struggling with dispositions 13:17 - Stop choosing counties—start with zip codes 17:36 - Are software tools creating saturation? 20:34 - Why most people quit land investing 23:14 - The hidden drop-offs in this business 28:50 - Misaligned expectations for beginners 31:26 - Are outdated land strategies killing results? 38:35 - Diversify or focus?
