In this episode of the Path to Passive podcast, we dive into the journey of scaling a real estate business with our guest, Clay Hepler. Clay shares his experiences and the harsh realities of building a successful land investing business, emphasizing the importance of focusing on markets with high sale velocities and low competition. He talks about how he transitioned from a multifamily and house flipping background to land investing, detailing the ups and downs, including facing personal financial crises and overcoming them. Clay also discusses his approach to business growth, including the importance of hiring the right people and keeping a solid revenue stream while aiming for larger development goals. His insights are invaluable for anyone looking to break into real estate or scale their ventures.
Clay is the owner of a small, family-owned business. He has been around land his whole life. Growing up on a farm left a lasting impact on his life. He has dedicated himself to building a company that focuses on buying, maintaining and selling land in our great country, USA. He is a face to face, boots-on-the-ground, get-your-hands-dirty kinda guy.
