what our members say
"Today I went to the bank and wired in the PAY-OFF amount for my home mortgage (30 year loan, paid off in 8 years.) I pulled the last few thousand $$ I needed from my land business account. Thank you everyone for your support and information to enable me to do reach this goal!"
Frequently Asked Questions
We get this question a lot and the answers are extremely individualized. Depending on how much time you dedicate to the education and creating and sending a mailer, you could be making money very soon! Once you’ve sent your first mailer, you can expect to start receiving responses in approximately 3-4 weeks. Remember, for those deals you can’t yet afford, the Land Academy community is always willing to help with funding!
Other than the education, one of the most valuable resources included in the Land Academy membership is 24/7 access to your peers through the Land Academy community. If you cannot find the answer in the education, you can find the answer in our community. Members support one another and provide feedback on various topics. Any time you hit a bump in the road, your peers and Land Academy staff are there to help you through!
Yes, you can start land investing on the side and keep your full-time job and many of our members do just that until they feel financially stable and confident enough to let go of their nine to five. There is a learning curve in the beginning that you’ll want to dedicate some time to but once you get the hang of it and have your business processes in place, you’ll spend less time working.

Before "flipping land online" was a thing, Jack was doing it with a fax machine.
That was the early '90s. More than 16,000 transactions later, the system he built became Land Academy, and the philosophy has never changed: real estate investing should be accessible, scalable, and grounded in logic, not guesswork.
If you are new here, this is who started it. Say hi in the comments.

There are four ways to reach a potential seller. Cold calling, email, texting, and direct mail.
One of them works.
Cold calling asks you to win four coin flips in a row. They answer, they give you a minute, they listen, and you happened to catch them on the exact day their situation changed. And after all four, you still haven't said a word about price. Jill did this job at nineteen, selling rubber gloves to doctor's offices, and she didn't last two weeks.
Email died with anti-spam law and modern filters, and even when it lands, a message from a stranger about your property has zero credibility.
Texting is a worse version of email, and every carrier now hands people a report button.
Then there's the letter. Plain envelope, nothing on the outside, so it gets opened. First sentence names their exact parcel and an exact number. A material percentage keep reading, because half of them forgot they owned it and almost all of them are tired of the property taxes.
Some counter. Some say the number works, what are the next steps.
You never get that first open anywhere else.
Full breakdown on the blog.

Every land investor you admire once sat exactly where you are. Wondering if this really works. Afraid of picking the wrong county. Nervous about that first mailer.
They felt all of it and started anyway. That is the entire difference.
And you do not have to figure it out alone. That is what this community is for.

Peace. Love. Dirt.
If you’ve ever wondered why land investors get a little obsessed… it’s because “dirt” isn’t just dirt - it’s freedom, leverage, and the kind of asset that doesn’t need tenants, toilets, or 2 a.m. maintenance calls.
Some people collect souvenirs. We collect opportunity.

"That's my bottom number."
Everybody hears that and starts arguing about price. We do the opposite.
The number is never the reason. It's the mortgage payoff, the job that fell through, the jam they need out of by the end of the month. Find that, and the deal either solves itself or it dies fast. Both are wins.
I wrote up exactly how we handle it, plus why we never send a price range in a mailer. Comment NUMBER and I'll DM you the link, or grab it here: https://landacademy.com/2026/08/28/why-we-dont-negotiate-real-estate-deals/

Bought for $20,013. Sold for $89,500. Funded for a Land Academy member.
This is what happens when the right data meets the right funding. Our member found the deal, we backed it, and everyone won.
Have a great land deal under contract but need the capital to close it? We fund deals for our members. Now it's your turn.
