239: In this episode, I talk with Mason McDonald, a land investor, licensed realtor, and adventurer in the wild world of mining claims.

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/239)

Mason shares how becoming a realtor totally changed his land investing game, giving him the edge to make massive commissions, close unusual deals, and tap into a totally new stream of revenue that most land flippers overlook.

We also go deep on mining claims, how Mason bought a gold mine in Alaska for just $30K, and what it means to buy land you don’t technically own.

If you’ve ever wondered what becoming a licensed agent could do for your land business, or what the heck a “mining claim” actually is, this is a MUST LISTEN episode.

234: In this episode of the REtipster Podcast, I sit down with Hamza Ali, a FlexSpace developer who has built a $370M+ portfolio in one of the most underrated corners of commercial real estate.

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/234)

Originally from Dubai, Hamza moved to the U.S. less than a decade ago and carved out a niche in Flex industrial real estate, an asset class that most investors don’t yet understand. In fact, Hamza played a key role in popularizing the term “FlexSpace” itself.

We dive deep into how he chooses sites, avoids bad deals, maximizes ROI, and why he's moving from selling FlexSpace to holding it for cash flow. If you've ever considered commercial real estate but didn't want to deal with huge apartment complexes or massive warehouses, FlexSpace might be exactly what you're looking for.

You’ll also hear Hamza’s insights on design mistakes, leasing strategies, fire code rules, tenant types, and how to test demand in your market with Facebook ads before you build.

If you're serious about building long-term wealth with a high-performing, low-maintenance asset class, this episode is a must-listen.

232: In this episode, I talk with Imee, the 24-year-old executive assistant who’s become the backbone of a land investing empire.

(Show Notes: REtipster.com/232)

Imee isn’t your average VA. She’s running operations across multiple businesses, hiring and managing global teams, building systems, protecting the CEO’s time, and even closing deals. We cover exactly how she earned that trust, what she looks for in other team members, how she motivates a remote team, and what investors often get wrong about working with overseas talent.

If you’ve ever thought about hiring a VA (Virtual Assistant) or EA (Executive Assistant) for your land investing business, this conversation will completely change the way you think about their potential.
