Flipping Dirt for Profit: How This Couple Built Real Estate Income & Flexibility with Mike and Ligia Deaton

Raising the Flipping Bar with Derek Marlin

Real estate investing isn’t just about buying properties—it’s about buying the right ones, at the right price, with the right strategy. And if you’ve ever wondered how to successfully invest in land flipping, multifamily deals, and passive income strategies, this episode is for you.

I’m joined by Mike and Ligia, two investors who have mastered the art of finding undervalued land, structuring smart deals, and pivoting in changing markets. They break down their journey from land flipping to large-scale multifamily syndications and share insider tips on buying below market value, creating passive income, and navigating real estate cycles.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why land flipping is a great entry point for investors: Learn how to find and buy land at 50% or less of market value for fast, profitable deals.
• How owner financing creates reliable passive income: Selling land with monthly payments can turn a one-time deal into years of recurring revenue.
• The key to profitable multifamily investing: It’s not just about acquiring units—timing, market trends, and financing structures all play a role.
• How to pivot when market conditions change: Rising interest rates and economic shifts affect every investment strategy—know when to buy, hold, or sit out.
• Why working with the right partners is critical: Investing is a team sport—vet your partners, align your goals, and build trust before jumping into deals.
