Land Investing Education

[Account Closed]

Hello, Everyone!

I am interested in learning more about investing in raw land.  Does anyone have any suggestions about educational materials or online classes that worked well for them?  I know Mark Podolsky has some good information out there, but are there other companies that provide comparable educational material?  

Thanks for your advice!

There are three main educators I've heard about in this space (I'm sure there are more, but these are the ones I know of):

1. @Seth Williams has a ton of great (free!) information on his site, www.retipster.com. He was on BP podcast #39 and has his own podcast now. He also has a paid course you can go through to get more in depth info than what is on the website. 

2. Mark Podolsky aka The Land Geek. He has a podcast and paid training, too. He's also been interviewed on a lot of other podcasts. Personally, he comes off as a bit more guru-ish to me, but that could just be because of the way he markets himself. 

3. Land Academy These guys have been in the land business for a long time. They also have a podcast and paid training. The land investing forum they host is free though. 

Each of the 3 has a bit of a different spin on land investing, so if you are looking for different approaches, it may not hurt to check out the free resources each has to offer and see what fits better for you.
