#230 - How T-Bone Went From Single-Wide Trailer to 110 Acres, One Deal at a Time

Welcome to the land podcast, a platform for people looking to educate themselves in the world of land ownership, land investing, staying up to date with current land trends in the Midwest, and hearing from industry experts and professionals.

On today's episode, we are back in the studio with Travis "T-Bone" Turner.

We discuss:

Travis bought his first 27 acres in Hogansville, GA in 1999 with a loan from his dad.

He explains the "pride factor" of hunting deer on ground you personally dictated and built.

Travis is now fighting a proposed data center planned right across the street from his farm.

He shares his "planting seeds" strategy of quietly telling landowners he'd buy if they ever sold.

Travis breaks down why Kansas and Oklahoma are his top picks for buying land today.

He explains why land prices never really fall back — $3,000 an acre never returns once it hits $5,000.

Travis recalls the two-handed, shaking-hands nerves of signing for his first property in 1999.

He compares Missouri, Illinois, and Iowa's hunting rules, calling Illinois his personal "nemesis."

Travis explains why he prefers buying rough, neglected land he can fix up himself.
