// 7 Key Lessons

1. Find the market gap and be the bridge: The best deals come from connecting people who don’t know each other — and don’t have equal access to information. Arbitrage isn’t shady; it’s service.
2. Invest where the growth flows, not where it glows: He targeted land just outside Indianapolis, not inside it — chasing steady population growth and affordability instead of flashy zip codes.
3. Leverage local pros from afar: You don’t have to be on-site to invest wisely — hire agents, use Zillow data, or even pay someone on Fiverr for photos. Outsource wisely, profit remotely.
4. Asymmetry is your advantage: Real estate isn’t a “perfect information” market. The less everyone knows, the more your effort and insight can pay off.
5. Fast cash creates freedom: That one Indiana land flip produced an 86% return and helped accelerate his exit from the 9-to-5 — proof that one smart move can shift your whole timeline.
6. Build tools, not just profits: Even a land course teaches transferable skills — marketing funnels, lead forms, follow-ups. Every system you build compounds your future deals.
7. Respect motivation over math: Not everyone wants top dollar; some just want speed or simplicity. Win-win deals happen when you listen to their why.
