Mark Podolsky: How to Make Millions Investing in Raw Land

Today, I welcome Mark Podolsky to The Gould Mine.

Mark - better known as The Land Geek - is one of the nation’s leading experts in raw land investing. With over 6,500 transactions and 25 years of experience under his belt, Mark has quietly built a passive income empire by buying land for pennies on the dollar and selling it with creative seller financing strategies.

In this episode, Mark shares his journey from burned-out investment banker to full-time land investor. He explains the systems, automations, and pricing tactics he uses to build a cash-flowing note portfolio - currently sitting at over 1,300 active land notes. We dive deep into his acquisition model, how he avoids traditional headaches like tenants and toilets, and why land is the most overlooked opportunity in real estate today.

Mark also gets personal about risk, mindset, and why most people fail - not because the strategy doesn’t work, but because fear and impatience take over. Whether you're 18 years old or 48, if you're looking for a low-barrier, high-profit path into real estate investing, this episode could very well be your launchpad.

Welcome Mark, to The Gould Mine.

Looking to build lasting wealth through alternative investments? You’re in the right place.

If you’re new here, my name is Danny Gould. I’m the founder and CEO of Gould Capital, a private equity firm specializing in exclusive commercial real estate and other alternative investments. We connect investors with elite opportunities - investments that aren’t public, aren’t cookie-cutter, and most importantly, aren’t what your financial advisor is pitching.

Here’s how I got here…

1) Started as a pre-med student at Stanford University, but a lifelong dream of building the biggest hotel-casino on the Las Vegas Strip ignited my passion for real estate.
2) Transitioned to residential real estate, driving over a quarter billion dollars in sales, and became an industry leader in one of the most competitive markets in the world.
3) Decided to finally pursue my Hotel dreams and founded GMS Ventures alongside two experienced Hoteliers, with a total Hotel Portfolio Size of over $300M
4) Leveraged my expertise and relationships to build Gould Capital - which empowers investors to access transformative commercial real estate deals and alternative investments.
