From Apache Pilot to Land Investor w/ Cody Cuvillier

262: In this episode of the REtipster Podcast, I talk with Cody Cuvillier, a land investor who built a full-time land investing business while serving as an Army officer and Apache helicopter pilot.

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/262)

Cody shares how he went from treating land investing as a side hustle to building a structured, KPI-driven company with a team that handles cold calling, texting, acquisitions, and follow-up. We talk about the moment in early 2025 when he almost quit, why his business stalled, and the realization that changed everything: he simply wasn’t generating enough leads.

Since then, Cody has tripled his lead flow, rebuilt his acquisition systems, and implemented daily accountability across his team. He also explains the exact KPIs he tracks, how he structures his acquisition pipeline, and what it takes to scale toward a $1M gross profit goal without destroying margins.

If you're trying to build a scalable land investing business in 2026, this conversation is packed with practical insights you need to hear!
