Name: Kay Walker 📍Location: Charlotte, NC Background: IT Project Manager turned STR operator — built a pretty large short-term rental business across NC and GA, scaled it over almost six years, and somewhere along the way realized I'd built golden handcuffs for myself. Huge staff, huge overhead, and a business that was taking energy instead of giving it. So I burned the boats (sold a portion of it), went all in on land in 2024, and genuinely haven't looked back. Current Stage: Full operator mode — in-house direct mail (I design, print, and produce everything myself out of my Charlotte offices), taking title, doing light improvements/value add, and creative finance on the acquisition side. Creative finance in particular has been a game changer, it's opened the door to larger deals and reduced capital costs in ways that straight cash offers just can't. A big focus of Q1 this year was bringing dispositions fully in-house, and that overhaul took real energy... but it was absolutely worth it. Removing that outside dependency has eliminated so much friction, kept more money in the business, and made the whole dispo process move faster. Vertical integration is real. I'm also a licensed NC broker, which helps more than people realize. Still intentionally lean on the team side, and I like it that way (Me, local TC + part-time mail guy). I focus on mid market deals, from $40k to $600k range (market value)... My business (and small team) is extremely localized, which I think is one of my advantages. My weapon of choice: Direct Mail 💌 (always has been) 90-Day Goal: Tighten my dispo process and cut my average days on market significantly — I know it's a bottleneck and I'm locked in on solving it. Biggest Challenge Right Now: Building systems fast enough to protect my time without losing the quality control that got me here. That tension is real. What I'm Looking For: Community, honestly. I believe deeply in operating from a place of contribution — showing up to add value first, not extract it. Since jumping into land, some of the most incredible people I've ever connected with have come through this journey — especially women entrepreneurs I would have never crossed paths with otherwise. That alone has made it worth it.🥂

We funded a subdivide out in Idaho with one of our funding partners. He handled the development — wells, power, survey. The lots sold. $113,000 wired back to us this week. My cut: $3,510.97. Not a massive payday. But that's not the point. That's capital I deployed into someone else's deal. I provided the capital. He provided the execution. The deal worked. We both got paid. That's the funding model doing exactly what it's supposed to do. Second deal — Alabama closed out. $5,948.72 in profit. Both HUDs sent, profit breakdown confirmed, wire instructions in. Done. Total this week: $9,460 in new profit. We're now at $171,460 out of $500,000 (our goal in 100 days). Day 42. Here's what's sitting in the pipeline: one deal under contract right now — $177K deal, ~$80K profit — should close within the next month. That puts us at roughly $250K by Day 50-60. On a $500K challenge. The math is working. You don't need to be the one finding every deal. You just need to put capital behind the right people and let them execute. We did that here. It worked. If you've got a deal that needs funding: https://landman.io/deal-funding-submission?utm_source=skool&utm_medium=community_post We've got 3,500 outbound messages running. Four callers dialing. Offers going out. The machine is moving.

Hey everyone, I joined because I want to learn land investing the right way, through real examples and actual numbers, not just theory. I am still at the beginning, but I am focused on understanding how deals work from start to finish. Looking forward to learning, asking questions and taking action.
