Tom Nardone, the Millionaire Mailman, started investing in 1983 while still on his mail route and quit the post office at 35 to go all in. Today he runs a strategy most investors overlook: buying vacant land, dropping a brand new mobile home on it, and pocketing 75 to 125 thousand dollars per deal. He breaks down how he finds the right neighborhoods using Zillow comps and DealMachine to drive for dollars, and how Florida's hurricanes keep creating buildable lots. If you want a low-competition play most people haven't figured out, this one delivers.
