Let’s be real—when you’re juggling work, family, and that ever-growing to-do list, the idea of starting another thing can feel impossible. You’ve probably thought:

❌ “I don’t have time to learn this.”

❌ “I can’t take on another job.”

❌ “I barely have time for Netflix, let alone flipping land.”

Sound familiar? You’re not alone. Most people assume they need 40+ hours a week to get into real estate. But here’s the truth: You can start flipping land in just a few hours a week—without quitting your job.

In Episode 2 of The OnlyLandFans Launchpad Series, we break down exactly how you can build a profitable land-flipping business on the side—without burnout, overwhelm, or sacrificing your free time.

How Much Time Do You Actually Need? ⏳

Not as much as you think.

You can start with just 5-10 hours a week—aka:

✔️ Less than 1.5 hours a day.

✔️ The length of one Netflix binge.

✔️ The time you probably already spend scrolling on your phone.

🛠 Action Step: Open your calendar and block out a 60-90 minute time slot this week for land flipping. That’s all you need to start.

How to Work Smarter, Not Harder 🧠

The secret to flipping land with limited time? Leverage.

You don’t have to do everything yourself. Instead, use tools, services, and partnerships to get results faster.

✔️ Cold Calling Services – Let a service find leads for you instead of spending hours making calls.

✔️ Virtual Assistants – Once you get a few deals under contract, hire a VA to handle basic tasks.

✔️ Wholesaler Partnerships – Work with someone who already has buyers instead of finding them yourself.

📌 Example: Fernando works full-time in healthcare. He outsourced cold calling, focused only on negotiations, and flipped his first deal in just a few weeks.

The #1 Mistake That Stops People from Succeeding ❌

The biggest killer of momentum? Overwhelm.

Most people look at land flipping and think:

🚫 “I have to learn everything before I start.”

🚫 “I don’t have time to figure all this out.”

🚫 “I’ll just wait until I have more free time.”

Here’s the fix: Take it one step at a time.

✅ Week 1: Learn how to find motivated land sellers.

✅ Week 2: Start reaching out to sellers (or hire a cold caller).

✅ Week 3: Lock up your first contract.

✅ Week 4: Connect the deal with a buyer.

📌 Example: Dianne & Leah both worked full-time when they started flipping land. Instead of trying to do everything at once, they focused on just getting their first deal under contract—and then built momentum from there.

Final Thought: If You Wait for the Perfect Time, You’ll Never Start

If you’ve been telling yourself, “I want to do this, but I don’t have time,” I hope this episode proves otherwise.

You don’t need:

❌ A ton of free time.

❌ A real estate license.

❌ Thousands of dollars to invest.

You just need:

✔️ A few hours a week.

✔️ The right strategy.

✔️ A simple, step-by-step plan.
