Land Investment experts, Mike and Ligia Deaton are a husband-and-wife team who transitioned from the corporate rat race to full-time land investors and educators. After being laid off on the same day from high-pressure corporate jobs, they turned what could have been a major set back into an entrepreneurial spring board, launching Flipping Dirt, a company focused on buying and selling raw, vacant land for profit. Their mission is to help others achieve time and financial freedom by building a simple, scalable land flipping business.
