A Letter From Sumner
I Didn’t Plan to Become a Land Investor. The Land Found Me.
I spent my early twenties doing what most entrepreneurs do — building things, breaking things, and figuring it out as I went. E-commerce stores. Local service businesses. I was scrappy, and I had some small wins under my belt.
So when I looked for somewhere to put my profits to work, Real Estate seemed like the obvious move. But one look at single-family homes in San Diego County and I knew the math didn’t work. Not for me. Not yet.
Then something happened that changed everything.
I stumbled across an old tax delinquent list for Elko County, Nevada. On a whim, I hand-wrote a few dozen letters to the property owners — just to see what would happen.
Three weeks later, my phone started ringing. But here’s the curveball: nobody wanted to sell me houses. They all wanted to sell me their vacant lots.
That was the moment the lightbulb went on. Not about land — about what a real land investing business could look like. A business built on systems, data, and predictable cash flow — not hustle, luck, and hope.
Since 2019, I’ve completed 408 flips and taught hundreds of investors how to do the same. Not by giving them a course to binge-watch, but by installing a system that actually runs.
That system is LIA 2.0. And it’s the reason you’re reading this right now.
If you’re ready to stop guessing and start operating — keep reading.
