I have been investing in land for 8 years & if you are looking for a good course, my recommendation would be Jonathon & the land riches blueprint. 

Apollo, the big RE empire, sells annuities via its fast-growing Athene insurance entity.  

I would recommend starting with 4 lenders in your network and as your real estate empire grows you'll need more.  

I want to build my RE empire just like you are doing.

I came from a traditional real estate background and got involved in land flipping years ago.

Ilitch passed away this year, but his son seems to be running the empire and is focused on Detroit.

Elon Musk's Austin empire is about to grow a lot more.The enigmatic serial entrepreneur and world's richest man said July 16 on X that he will move X's headquarters from San Francisco to Austin.

They say you are investing in land, but because you are paying $15k for maybe $1,500 in land, you are really investing in the business.If the business fails, you will probably not be able to sell the land -- it's an incredibly small piece of land that is too small to be individually farmed (and therefore tough to individually sell).Vet the business - that's what you are investing in.  

I'm in miami dade county as a focus area only if you consider ground up but I'd pass on auctions because they are sight unseen most the time and it's all cash purchases typically. you have no control. in land development and real estate development you have full control of every part of the process. don't buy something 50 years old or 100 years old. 

In land you're a baller if you're spending $10K and you can often just get deals of the MLS.
