In this episode of The Mentor Podcast, Ron welcomes Mark Podolsky, affectionately known as "The Land Geek." Mark has been buying and selling raw land since 2000 and left his corporate job by 2001 to pursue land investing full-time. With over 6,500 land deals under his belt, Mark has built a proven system for creating passive income streams through land flipping and owner financing. His expertise lies in making land investing simple, scalable, and achievable—even for those new to real estate.
