What people are saying

“Kai is a humble leader with a wealth of knowledge about real estate development. His approach to teaching, mentoring, and coaching course members through investment decisions is more effective than anybody else’s I’ve worked with. The Land Hacker program is the best value of any online course I have taken, and that includes courses that have been more expensive and less impactful… The community is also amazing, shares in your personal victories, and is always there to help and provide feedback. If I could go back in time, this might be the only real estate mentorship program I would join.” – Tyler G.

“This program has opened our eyes to a new way of thinking with real estate. We have learned so much new information and ways to gain knowledge and accomplish the goals we have. It is a lot of work, but it will be worth it. The network is priceless. Great community. Classes monthly that really dive deep and teach you principles and ways to look at things.” – Lindsey C.

“The Land Hacker Program helped me refine how I underwrite and look at deals involving raw land. The program goes deep into several issues (zoning, land use) the cohort of others usually comes up with great questions for Kai that I wouldn’t normally have thought of. Kai’s knowledge is worth the price of admission and it’s for life so you can make some great contacts and maybe a partner. My favorite part of the class is hearing others talk about the deals they are pursuing and then pitching my own deals. Kai is very giving of his time and is willing to go over anything you have questions on.” – Jon P.

“This program has given us the structure we needed to organize our steps and be more strategic in our plans. We had a lot of analysis paralysis while at the same time, feeling overwhelmed by everything we didn’t know. The Land Hacker Program has made the process more digestible, helped us clarify our goals, and create a clear strategy. The community is great and the resources are invaluable! Kai talks a lot about building equity this program alone is certainly an equity play!” – Sianna S.

Our members are creating some pretty cool spaces that are turning into the best financial decision of their lives.
Stan & Lauren - 56 Acre Domes & Wedding Venue

Welcome to Wildlin Farms where our dynamic duo, Stan & Lauren, established their land hack.  Their property consists of 56 acres near the entrance of Mt. Rainer National Park.  They started with the farm house, then the dome home and next a wedding venue, self-pick orchard and more doors.  They’ve created approximately $300k in equity and generate $10k+/month in income.  You can watch their video here and their website here. 

Jenni came to us with a property with a small cabin on it in Tennessee.  After lots of planning, Jenni ended up building another incredible tiny home on the same property that has been a huge hit with guests. Jenni continued to use what she learned to find an investor and grow her portfolio to six doors in less than two years and generates approximately $300k+/year in rental income and $500k+ in equity gain. Find her properties here.

Ted & Min found an incredible 8 acre parcel just outside of Columbus, OH and turned a run-down property back into the mid-century modern architectural piece it once was.  Not only did they turn it into one of the most beautiful homes I’ve seen, but they’ve created a pop-up kitchen to host events and even have plans to build out more doors on the property.  They also have a highly successful STR in Melbourne.  They’ve generated at $250k+ in equity and currently generate approximately $20k+/mo in rental income. Find them on Instagram here and here.

Ellen wanted to start investing in “fun” real estate that allowed her and her husband, Carlos, a place to explore their hobbies – hiking, traveling and photography.  Using our land hacker methods, they ended up finding an incredible property in Alaska that is already on pace to profit $5k+/month from just ONE door.  And they have the ability, and plans, to add two more unique doors.  An incredible and beautiful first project.  Find their listing here.

Keith & Stephanie are architects who were ready to apply their skillset to the world of higher-end vacation rentals and land hacking. After a lot of planning and strategizing, they recently launched their farmhouse after on acreage in Vermont.  With room to grow, they have the options to add more doors and create even more equity.  Find their listing here.

Meet Your Expert Guide, Kai Andrew

After studying business and construction engineering in undergrad I got involved with start-ups right away. However, I quickly found, like most people, that I was struggling working for someone else and making others rich (trading time for money). And that was the start of my entrepreneurial journey, which includes moving around the world, obtaining my MBA, and (of course ) lots of short-term rentals and shipping containers. Nowadays, I’m committed to helping, connecting, and teaching others how they can use real estate as a means to create dream income properties and replacing their day jobs so they can focus on their own lifestyles.

Background & Experience:
+ B.S. Business Management & Construction Engineering Management
+ MBA (Operations & Finance)
+ Unique Home Builder & Developer (containers, domes, earth homes, treehouses, etc.)
+ 14+ Years of Real Estate & Short-term Rental Experience
+ Reached financially freedom in 2012 at 27 years old with rental investments ($50k+/mo)

Common questions

How much money do I need?

Unlike other programs that promise you can make millions with $0.  We’re quite a bit more transparent and honest.

There are different strategies and tactics to approaching ‘Land Hacking’.  We recommend the following for anyone starting:

  • $30,000 minimum in liquid capital
  • steady source of income
  • cash flow positive each month
  • credit score of 650+
  • two years of tax returns 

Golden Geometry Method & Data Aggregation Sites

With these two tools you’ll pretty much be able to identify any and all healthy locations in the United States. We have even had a number of international students use the Golden Triangle method and our membership sites to great success in other countries as well.

No…and yes. The number of people traveling and seeking out high quality, clean and well-managed spaces still significantly outpaces the actual number of listings. But there are a lot of new entrants into the short-term rental market.

You will learn how to rise above the bottom 80%, how to increase the barriers of entry in your market and make others compete with you. And when necessary, know when to walk away from an oversaturated market.

There is always plenty of room when you’re operating at a high-level and have the right property.
Absolutely. It’s important to be in a growth and learning mindset, but we all must start from somewhere. I encourage beginners to start with ‘proof of concepts’ and develop their fundamental skills when first starting off in real estate. As you develop and grow, so can your projects.
Hacking is a common term that means to take something that is traditionally used one way and create multiple uses with relatively little work or money.
Land hacking borrows from that same concept. Where most folks focus on a 1:1 door-to-property ratio – we look at 2:1, 3:1, 4+:1 income-to-property ratio.
This is not a get rich quick scheme. This does require funding and hard work. But that’s all relatively cheap when compared to the rewards.
Absolutely. For folks who do not have a lot of funds in the beginning it’s good to get started and gain the knowledge, experience and skills of acquiring, setting up contracts and then building out a site to then host.
Leasing does have some downsides though. The key ones being:
  1. No equity
  2. Stuck in a contract
  3. Land owner can steal your idea
  4. Can be more expensive than you think
A few months to a year plus. It really is dependent on if you plan on doing this part-time or full-time and how big your team and budget is. Smaller operations can get up and going within a few months with the right team. While larger projects may stretch well over a year.
But when you’re done you will have (should have) created significant equity and cash flows from your land.

Short answer – focus on your target customer and create quality photos that look different than anyone else. People these days make decisions off of photos and videos from their cell phones. But the more thorough answer is to understand which design styles are most attractive to your customer base and create a design around that. Including aspects and elements that will stand out in both photos and when guests arrive. I call these statement pieces.

Hands down your most important hire will be the cleaner. Never work with large cleaning outfits – they don’t care about you or your property. Work with starting entrepreneurs and small local businesses. Next will be your handyman and then ultimately whoever you decide to manage the property. But honestly, when you get the right people you don’t need a manager and you save 20-30% of you rental income.

Lots of analysis and research goes into this, but you can do a lot of the research on the Airbnb site itself as well as AirDNA. But the end of the day I use something I call the Golden Geometry Method to determine the best locations.

Some areas such as city centers it’s very crowded. But even with the massively crowded markets, a lot of hosts are average at best. This leaves room for principled entrepreneurs who have a vision for long-term success and not just short-term gains – which is what we focus on.

It’s all about systems and having the right team put together. In the beginning you don’t need employees, but you’ll need the right contractors and what’s call systems of control. The better, and more thought out, these are the less headaches and the more automated things will be. And when you get to this level, you can literally manage properties from any distance.
Airbnb and VRBO are the top two contenders. But eventually having your own site maybe a worthwhile venture. But for 98% of listings the primary place to stand out is Airbnb.

On the low end, it’s about $1000/month. High end is $20,000/month. Average is roughly $5,000/month. Simply put, significantly higher than long term rentals.  There are properties that are making near $100,000/mo.  But the real secret is creating $100,000+ and $1,000,000+ in equity while cash flowing. 

You can buy a property with multiple spaces with a traditional mortgage, live in one space and rent out the others. You can also use a 2nd home mortgage or investment property mortgage as well. These will all have an impact on your debt-to-income (DTI) ratio. Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) Loans are perhaps the best of both worlds. You can secure financing without proof of income, put the property into an LLC without issue and have zero effect on your DTI ratio.
