In episode 108 of The Side Hustle Show last year, we met Mark Podolsky, a real estate investor specializing in raw land. He called it “The Best Passive Income Model,” because there are no products to build, no tenants or toilets, and you can start without a huge upfront investment.

This year, I wanted to feature a couple listeners who took action based on that episode. The first is my friend Josh Brooks, an Army Battalion Commander and founder of The Enduring Charity Foundation.

Josh has actually been investing in real estate for over 10 years, but accelerated his land-investing efforts after hearing Mark on the show last year.

Tune in to hear Josh’s tactics for sourcing deals, finding buyers, and setting up his land business for recurring passive income.

I know it’s a good episode when I hang up the call buzzing like I should totally start this!

  2. Hey Nick,
    awesome podcast, thank you!
    Is it possible to flip land in the US without being a US citizen/resident and being located somewhere else?

  3. Land here in Texas, specifically in the Hill Country has risen in value so significantly over the last 10 years that large acreage ranches can’t be purchased for anything under 8 figures. As the wells dry up and the subdivisions keep getting built, it’s only a matter of time before the area turns into another Flint Michigan…dependent on water bottles for everything.
