Mark is the owner of Frontier Properties, a land investment company. He’s been in the business for over 20 years now. 

Mark has a simple process for how he picks up raw land and he shares it step-by-step.

• He picks up raw land from owners who are in a distressed scenario. He takes the land off of their hand, solving their problem. 
• He then tries to sell the land to the neighbors at a discounted price.
• This creates a passive income for him for years.

Mark’s advice on how to start a land business. 

• Know where other land investors are buying land. 
• Figure out your budget and pick your market.
• Start mailing out offers to property owners. A good place to create a list is datatree.com.
• Create a pricing matrix.
• Automate your processes.

“At some point, too little money in this niche is a problem. But too much money in this niche is also a problem.”
