I'm new to this.

What are the major differences between each method?

Pro's/Con's?

Ease of use/learning?

Your recommendation.

Hey @Dave Rupe! I've got a lot of respect for Jack. His material played a huge role in my early days of figuring out the land business and I know he's still putting out helpful content.

It's been a lot of years since I've seen Jack's course, so I can't say firsthand what it looks like today, but from what I remember of it, it was enough to get me through my first few deals and get my bearings until I felt confident enough to put my own spin on the process.

I think you'll find that most of the land investing courses out there (the ones that teach the flipping method) will explain a very similar model. I've been through most of them, and I think they agree on at least 80% of how the business ought to be run. The biggest differences I've noticed have to do with:

• Where to get the list for your direct mail marketing - from a data service or directly from the county (my course teaches both ways and the pros and cons of each)
• What kind of mail piece to send out - postcards/neutral letters or blind offers (my course explains both, includes several mail templates for both strategies and explains the pros and cons of each)

There are other subtle differences too with things like:

• What kind of pricing framework to use when sending offers
• What kind of software and services to use
• When the due diligence should be done during the process
• How deep the due diligence research should go

Just to clarify @Amy Aziz's point, the postcard approach is one of the direct mail strategies out there, but definitely not the only one I do (like anything, there are some scenarios when it makes sense and other scenarios when it doesn't). Most of my mail campaigns have been blind offers in recent years (because it makes a lot of sense when you have a bigger marketing budget and less time to interact with leads, it's a lot more scalable in that respect) and my course has a lot of videos, templates, tutorials, and even interviews with other land investors on different ways to implement that approach.

Outside of the basic software and services I recommend (you don't have to follow my recommendations at all - I just point you to the things I've had a good experience with), there is nothing else you have to pay for outside of the course. I don't hold anything back or hide the actual information behind another paywall. We also have free group coaching calls each month and a private forum that I stay regularly involved with, so if you do get stuck, you can get help from me or others in the community.

Hope that helps!
