    Invaluable Insights for Land Investors!
    I’ve been in the process of growing my own land investment business, Turn Two, and The Land Podcast has been an incredible resource. Jake Hofer provides practical, actionable insights on land ownership and investing that have helped me make informed decisions in building my portfolio. The discussions around zoning, financing, and long-term planning are particularly relevant, and his interviews with experts are always educational. If you’re serious about land investments, this podcast is a must-listen!”

  • Dustin Wayne
    Top notch information
    Haven’t even bought land yet but this podcast has given me the knowledge and the realization that buying land isn’t just for the ultra wealthy. It’s possible for the everyday hard working man or woman! Will definitely be buying land in the next year or so thanks to this podcast!
  • mtndewcrew
    Excellent podcast
    Jake does an excellent job of navigating conversations to bring out the most information from his guest. I hope to be part of the 100 land buyers in the near future!
  • ilhunter997
    Great info on land!
    Looking to buy my first farm! Looking to learn as much as i can and this podcast is helping!! Helps that I’m from IL
  • buck$layer7
    Used car salesmen
    Typically love the podcast but the common ground one had a sleezy feel to it. There’s so much more to the cash rent deal than letting a middle man pimp out your land and everyone lives happily ever after. It’s not really a needed service, cash rental rates sort themselves out. The only thing this does is help streamline consolidating farm operations. 1 farmer farming 20,000+ acres is bad for small towns and and rural communities. This is the equivalent to allowing crossbows in archery season…good for a few ppl but ultimately lots of disappointed ppl in the end.

    Great show
    Binged every episode over last 2 months. Great info and guests… Look forward to future episodes. PS their Exodus trail cameras are top notch, never had an issue been switching out all my old ones to just Exodus cameras over the last 6 years… believe I own 9 now
  • Stevo1527

    Outside of the box
    Love hearing all the different perspectives on how to buy recreational properties, everybody’s story is different so whether you are searching for your first property or managing your existing farm, this podcast is definitely worth a listen.

    Awesome Pod - Great info
    New to hunting, new to all-things-land ownership. Jake has awesome guests that help paint the picture of rec/farm ownership. I get a ton of value from the do’s/dont’s. My goal was to have my own piece in 2 years, but this pod has made 12 mo more realistic.
  • Smdunn14
    Very informative and always a great listen!
    One of my favorite podcasts. I invest in rental properties and want to get into the land game, I’m getting great information here! I have learned quite a bit about real estate from this podcast.
  • @RyanPoe
    Top land buying Podcast
    This podcast provides so much good information about buying land. If you’re interested in a farm or hunting property you should start at the beginning and listen to every episode. Even if you aren’t in the market, the stories told by various people are excellent and Jake is a great host. I wish I had this info a few years ago. Better late than never.
  • Longbeard1965
    60 acres in South Arkansas
    Back in the Spring I bought 60 acres of rec/timber land in South Arkansas. This was my first purchase of a larger parcel of land. Your show and guests provided good info and encouragement to go through with the purchase.
  • ER workman

    Add Me to the List Jake
    We recently closed on our first piece of dirt (finally!) and one very important lesson gleaned from listening to this podcast that got us there was: DON’T DRAG YOUR FEET WAITING FOR THAT PERFECT PIECE OF GROUND THAT CHECKS ALL THE BOXES TO COME ALONG. We had been doing this for a couple of years. We finally pulled the trigger on one that didn’t necessarily check all the boxes and we couldn’t be happier! Thanks for the nudge Jake!! Steve Morris
  • Sam at TROC
    Great Land buying resource
    I closed on my first farm last month and found this podcast while researching potential income generation. I found many of the techniques discussed by Jake and his guests proved to be very helpful. Thanks for the hard work!
  • al keuler

    Great Listen for people interested in land!
    Podcast is informative and Jake is very passionate about what he does. Definitely worth a listen if you’re interested in land and real estate.
  • Zeda555
    Great Content and Great Connections
    I’ve learned a ton from these easy to listen to podcasts. The questions asked and information shared has been a great tool on my journey to find a chunk of land. Although I’m looking for land in Wisconsin, Jake connected me with a great resource and I’m one step closer to a dream I’ve had since I could walk. Appreciate the work done here!
  • Chiver365
    Eye Opening!
    I really enjoy how this podcast doesn’t tell you what to do or how to buy land, it’s stories from different people explaining how they did it and got it done. None of the guests did it the same, and they were all successful in their own way. Great series showing many different options. Thanks!
  • Willy Clifford
    Lots of knowledge
    I listen to this podcast every week. It’s full of Great stories and information about buying land and how to use the land . Someday I’ll be using this information to get a piece of ground. But I’ve also used the info on here to help my brother get a piece of land that borders our farm. Jake does a great job. It’s the podcast I look forward to the most every week.
  • Kybowhunter88
    GREAT podcast
    I listen to a ton of podcasts and this is by far my favorite real estate podcast. Jake does a great job of asking the right questions.
  • Wiscbowhuntr
    Keep them coming
    Always informative. Has me primed for my first land purchase. Thanks
  • nogod007788
    Top notch education and value
    Jake does a great job of bringing on a mixture of guests who are experienced land owners and buyers, first time land owners and buyers, and professionals who facilitate different aspects of land acquisitions. If you love or are interested in land or real estate, you will learn something here!
  • trob_205
    Jake is the man
    Awesome content. Always thought the land side of things was overwhelming and some of this stuff eases the mind and makes it less intimidating and I feel educated on the ins and outs.
  • Grant Oldenburg
    Another Banger!
    The exodus team is a leader of whitetail content! This is another great podcast to soak in some knowledge. I have enjoyed learning more about Jake’s guests pursuit to buy land. There has been a lot of conservation advice and learnings as well that I have enjoyed. Top 3 episodes so far. 1. Skip. 2. Bill Winke 3. Living on a boat! Interesting stories for sure. I also enjoyed Grant Putnams entire breakdown of cost analysis and how he was able to purchase land. No doubt anyone can do it with discipline and hard work.
  • ChrisNicholas3376
    Favorite podcast
    My favorite podcast out there. Helped me get things in order to buy my first property.
  • Droptine446
    Great information!
    Really cool listening all of these so far, especially the couple recent shows about solar. They are planning a pretty large solar farm in our area and we recently just signed a contract for a power line easement through our family property. Hearing some of these guests information has really made me feel good about our decision, mainly because the whole project is very controversial around here. Truly enjoy learning along with you and keep up the great work!

    Best Land Buyers Guide
    I have learned more from this podcast about buying my own piece of land than any other resource out there. Listening to the latest episode is something I look forward to every week. Jake Hofer, the host of The Land Podcast does a great job covering topics relevant to every type of listener, while also getting into some niche topics that are harder to find quality resources on. As someone who hunted public land growing up and now have my own farm, I would highly recommend this podcast to anyone looking to buy their first parcel.
