AI Texter Vs. VA
Hey everyone 👋 I’m exploring the differences between using an AI Texter vs. a traditional VA Texter for lead outreach, and I’d love to hear from those of you with real-world experience. 👉 A few questions I’m hoping to get insight on: - Have you personally used an AI texting system for seller outreach? - How did the results compare to a human VA? - What were the biggest pros and cons of each? - Would you recommend one approach over the other at this stage of your business? - Do you know anyone currently running an AI Texter successfully? I recently heard Clay mention in a discussion that someone actually switched off an AI system and went back to a traditional VA because the results weren’t strong enough. That got me thinking more carefully about the best long-term option. I’m still new and trying to build a strong, predictable foundation, so any input, examples, or lessons learned from your own setup would be hugely appreciated. Thanks in advance! 🙏

AI is good for initial filtering and speed to lead, but it struggles with the nuance of a motivated seller who needs some sort of creative deal structure. A hybrid approach works well where you use AI to handle initial opt-ins and weed out the "take me off your list" replies. Then you can route any positive or more nuanced responses to a trained VA. If you rely 100% on AI right now, you will burn leads. Start with a solid VA, get your scripts dialed in, and then automate the pieces that don't require human judgment. Over time, your system will be get better and AI will take on more.
Discounted Acreage North San Antonio
I have discovered an acreage that is north of San Antonio, TX selling for $35,065.80 per acre in an area where acreages go for $50K to $75K per acre. Is there anyone in the community interested in helping me to evaluate further?

Hey April, great find. When we see a spread like that in a good Texas market, the first thing we look for is if there's hair on the deal. Confirm access issues (physical or legal), topography/floodplain problems, or restrictive zoning/HOA rules that kill development potential.
You Tell Me The Problem. I'll Build The Workshop Around It.
I'm going to run a workshop. But not the kind where I show up and talk at you for an hour. I'm talking 3+ hours, one problem, we don't stop until it's solved. The thing is, I don't want to guess what that problem is. I want you to tell me. I'm not a mind reader, but I do know the Land Business. What's the one thing standing between you and your next deal? Be specific. The actual wall. The thing most people won't say out loud. Maybe you're brand new and don't know where to start. Maybe you've been at this a while and something specific keeps breaking down. Whatever it is, just say it plainly. The problem that shows up most in the comments wins. That's what the workshop is built around. And whoever submitted it gets 30 minutes with me after. One on one. No pitch, just us working through your specific situation. Drop it in the comments. Submissions close June 4th at midnight ET!!

Would love to see a deep dive on the customer journey from a brand new seller lead to the end, whatever the end of that journey is. For example: new lead --> qualified --> offer made --> (offer accepted) new lead --> qualified --> offer made --> (offer declined) --> long term follow-up Or whatever the various pathways look like for different scenarios. How do you qualify leads, build rapport, never let a lead slip through the cracks and follow up so you're top of mind when the time is right for them to sell.
Seller Finance Arbitrage Offer Strategy
Hi everybody - first post here. Very excited to be around other killer operators and growing together! I'm curious about the Seller Finance Arbitrage strategy Clay has mentioned a few times in his videos. How exactly does it work? Would love to add this into my toolbelt!

Cash flow is king and saves you from the lumpiness of doing all cash flips. This is one of the cleanest ways to build it. Here is an example. You buy a property on terms from a motivated seller. Say $50,000 purchase price, $5,000 down, $500 a month for 10 years. You then sell that same property to an end buyer on terms like $80,000 sale price, $10,000 down, $800 a month. You get paid $5,000 at acquisition and create a $300/month cash flow spread. Make sure your underlying note allows for early payoff without penalty, and confirm there is no due-on-sale clause in your purchase agreement. Some sellers will not do this, but most will. If the Seller wants interest, try stepping it up over time (i.e. 1% year 1, 2% year 2, etc.) so as the interest rate increases, you're paying it on a lower principal amount. Get 20 of these running and you've got a nice steady stream of income.
Reverse-Engineering Our Land Business Targets — Sanity Check?
@Clay Hepler - working through the Week 1 Landman Challenge homework @Jennifer Gross and I spent some time reverse-engineering our goals and it was a really helpful exercise. Here’s the operating model we landed on: 160K SMS → 240 offers → 8 contracts → 5 deals → $100K revenue → $20K net Key assumptions: • $20K average deal spread • 70% close rate • ~1 contract per 30 offers • ~1 contract per 20K texts Goal:$100K/month gross → ~$20K/month operator take-home after OpEx and taxes. Would you mind sanity-checking whether these funnel assumptions look reasonable from your experience? Particularly curious if anything jumps out as unrealistic in the SMS → offers → contracts math. Appreciate any quick feedback. 🙏

@James Gross - Love seeing the reverse engineering of an outcome. The assumptions are mostly solid. Might tweak the close rate a little. We see 30-40% of contracts fall out for one reason or another. Bad perc tests, title issues, sellers who get cold feet. If you want certainty of 5 closed deals, aim for 8 to 10 contracts. Your $20K spread assumption is solid for rural parcels in the $40-80K range. One tip: track every fallout and why. That data is worth more than any marketing tactic.
