229: In this episode, I sat down with land investor and educator Femi Ajose, someone who has flipped land in 48 states and built a powerhouse business from the ground up.
(Show Notes: REtipster.com/229)
Femi started as a track star, aiming for the Olympics until COVID hit and forced him to pivot. What followed was an obsessive dive into wholesaling and, eventually, land investing.
We talk about:
- The $50K land deal that proved the model
- Why Maryland became his surprise goldmine
- How he outsells the competition with basic marketing tweaks
- The importance of sales skills and seller psychology
- Why most land investors fail in 2025
- How fatherhood and family changed his business priorities
- The marketing rules and title company secrets that are rarely discussed
- Why he stays away from desert land and overly rural properties
If you're a land flipper, land investor, or anyone building a real estate portfolio, this is a must-listen conversation packed with gold nuggets.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
