FROM NEWBIE TO 300K IN 90 DAYS
Landon H. | New Real Estate Investor | Niche Community Member
Meet The Investors
Landon H. - Dayton, OH
Landon was a brand-new investor who had dabbled in real estate but never done anything truly meaningful. He started watching Michael's YouTube content, learned the foreclosure game from scratch, and decided to go all-in on niche, direct-to-motivation deals. Within a few months, that decision changed his life.
The Problem
Before Niche, Landon was stuck where most new investors live:
- No consistent strategy, just "trying stuff" and hoping it worked
- No real system for finding motivated sellers in foreclosure
- No confidence presenting creative options like subject-to
- Surrounded by people who didn't get what he was trying to build
He was working, praying, and guessing:
“I don't know if I'm getting lucky or my prayers are working, I don't know what's going on man, but here I am back again… we're doing it for the second time now.”
He knew he was capable of more, but he didn't have a repeatable way to find and close life-changing deals.
The Turning Point
Landon closed a small first deal purely from free YouTube content. That proved it was real.
He then joined the Niche Community to turn "one-off luck" into a system. Inside, he plugged into:
- The Niche foreclosure and distress data
- Scripts for door knocking and seller conversations
- Live coaching calls to walk through real deals step by step
On one of those calls, he came with a live foreclosure lead from the Niche Data list. The seller was a realtor whose own family didn't understand foreclosures. Landon had already door-knocked him once, been ghosted, then went back again on Michael's advice:
“I tried texting, I tried calling, I tried emailing… none of those worked. I hit him up on a door knock and there he was ready to go. I was like, man, I should just let the professionals be the professionals.”
The Results
Financial
In his first 90 days with Niche:
- Deal 1: $180,000 foreclosure assignment fee
- Deal 2: Subject-to deal out of foreclosure with roughly $170,000 in equity
- Total: About $350,000 in value across his first two niche deals
These were not theoretical "someday" deals. They came straight from Niche foreclosure data, Niche scripts, and Niche coaching.
Business
He went from dabbling to operating like a real investor with a real pipeline.
He started leading emotional, high-trust conversations with sellers:
“He was almost crying, and I was just like, are you freaking kidding me, I'm about to cry with you. These deals can change other people's life, they can change our life.”
He began to see himself as part of a professional team:
“I've been leaning on the team aspect and just using that credibility like you said… my team and I have been stopping foreclosures for a couple years now.”
And when he shared his results with his old team, they weren't excited; they were threatened. That's when he knew he'd moved into a different game.
How They Got There
Landon's playbook was simple:
- Learn the niche strategy from free content, then commit by joining the Niche Community.
- Pull Niche Data foreclosure lists and work them relentlessly, including repeat door knocks when sellers ghost.
- Use the 5-options foreclosure framework to lead with service, not desperation.
- Lean on live coaching to walk through the subject-to paperwork, line by line, until he could confidently present it.
- Ask the seller directly: "In a perfect world, what would be the most awesome outcome for you and your family?" and structure the deal around that.
He didn't overcomplicate it. He took the exact system, did the boring work, and executed fast.
Final Thoughts
Landon summed it up simply:
“These niche deals can change your life and change your life quick… I don't know anybody else doing it at your level, genuinely. The amount of genuineness that's coming out every time you talk is insane… I'll be coming to you for many years to come, just learning everything I can and applying it and keeping it rolling.”
