241: In this episode, we're talking with Brian and Katie Desmarais, a husband-and-wife land investing team who left the corporate world to build a thriving real estate business in under two years.
Katie was able to leave her W-2 job just nine months into the business. Now they’re flipping land from South America while raising their kids and coaching other investors.
We discussed how they utilize PPC marketing, what their average land deal entails, how they assembled a team of 9, and why Stride CRM has become the backbone of their entire operation. This is a masterclass in building a lifestyle business through land flipping.
If you’ve ever wondered what’s possible with the right systems, tools, and mindset, you’ll get a ton of value out of this one.
