What is Possible in Your First Year Flipping Land

Turning Profit

About this episode

Flipping land can be a profitable venture, but the possibilities in your first year will depend on several factors, including your speed of learning, resources, time, experience with building a team, goals, etc.

It's essential to keep in mind your first year may not yield significant profits.

Success in this field often requires patience, market awareness, and a deep understanding of local regulations and opportunities.

Our first year in land flipping was marked by mistakes, learning, adaptation, and success. The results were impressive. We achieved $1,247,000 in revenue with a gross profit of $658,000 from 32 sales. Average gross profit per deal was approximately $20,580, and properties spent an average of 55.46 days in inventory.

The lessons and achievements of that year have set a solid foundation for our business in subsequent years to where we are now.

Join us in this episode as Heather and I reflect on our first year, all our mistakes, and the lessons we took. We also have some great tips for those who are just starting out.
