Money makes some people do some crazy things. I’m not just talking about your standard list of crazy either, I’m talking about lose your mind type of crazy. When you throw in the death of a loved one though things can get real ugly real fast. That’s what we’re talking about today. We see it all the time in our industry where someone inherited a piece of property from someone they love and then we make them a low ball offer and that either triggers anger which they’re gladly willing to tell us about or they think they can do something better than us and end up costing themselves time and money they didn’t have to begin with. As Investors that can put us in an odd position because we’re not here to make matters worse for anyone so how do we handle it? You’ll have to join us today to find out!

Can you be conservative in your business and at the same time be aggressive? What do we even mean by that? That’s a pretty good question and one we’re going to dive into on today’s show. Typically the two words don’t go together but we’ve put some thought into it and think it’s a perfect definition of how your business should be run. You’ve gotta push the boundaries sometimes but don’t be stupid, go after the big fish but put a plan in place, etc. Listen in and I think you’ll understand what we mean and maybe even have a little fun while you’re at it.

Do you have little things you do that, without doing them, can ruin things? It’s not uncommon for professional athletes to have rituals before a game so why would it be weird for a business professional to have the same? For example, a baseball player may have to tap the plate twice and spin the bat once before they get into their stance to hit. When they do it nobody thinks twice about it but when, let’s say for example one of our host doesn’t want to talk about an offer until everyone has signed it then it gets a little crazy.. That’s a purely hypothetical situation of course, that would never happen.. Or would it… Join us today as we have a little fun and see what you think? Are we superstitious or flat out crazy?

Most of the time when we buy properties and use a title company to close the deal things go great. All the “t’s are crossed and we’ve dotted all the “i’s”. Life is good. Sometimes though, as rare as it may be, that isn’t the case and there’s a problem with the title work that we had completed when we bought the property. Luckily for us there’s a thing called title insurance and it can save you when / if this ever becomes a problem for you. So today we’re gonna talk about title insurance, what it does, how to make a claim and why it’s so important that you have it.

The power of our thoughts are one of the most incredible tools we have as humans. We can literally make any decision in our lives fun and exciting or tough and miserable. We can talk ourselves in to anything and then keep our motivations strong or convince ourselves that what we’re doing is stupid and should quit. Knowing this is also a powerful tool because you can take a bad situation and turn it into a good one just by changing the way your’re thinking. One of our host just experienced this in a big way so we thought we’d talk about it on today’s show and hopefully motivate you to watch how you let your thoughts control you.

What does Crushing it look like to you? Does it mean tons of money, private jets and fast cars? What about time freedom, replacing your income from cash flow and the ability to do whatever you want whenever you want? There’s so many different versions of what “crushing it” is and how you perceive it that it’s hard to really define what that means. Recently we spoke to a client of ours that has made more money working part time in his business than he will make all year at his job. That’s definitely crushing it to us!! So, what do you think? What’s your idea of this? Join us today as we talk about what it means to us.

When you’re new to something it’s really easy to get caught up in the smallest detail of what’s being taught to you, especially if that’s something like Real Estate Investing. Don’t get me wrong, at first, it absolutely should because you’re learning a new skill and that skill has been proven to work time and time again. Once you get the concept though, the sky is the limit. In the Land Investing Blueprint we teach how to send blind offers and buy / sell rural land. Is that where that idea stops though? No! You can take that concept and buy smaller parcels, houses, commercial if you want to because now you understand how to do it and the only thing stopping you from doing more is YOU.

As adults it’s really easy to let life and responsibilities get in the way of things we want to do and it’s because of this that a lot of us end up doing things we hate or we never take any risk because we’re afraid of what might happen. As kids though, we didn’t have those fears. In fact, we thought we could take on the world and succeed. If you had a crazy idea, you to took it to your friends and they not only urged you on but they probably joined you. Try that as an adult and you might get some crazy looks. What happened to that part of ourselves that wasn’t afraid to take risk and live life to its fullest? Are you still doing it or are have you let fear stop you from doing what you want? Join us today as we talk about this and share some crazy stories from our past.

So you’ve gone through the steps and you picked a good county to make blind offers in. You’ve run comps, pulled owner information and sent your mail. A week or two, maybe three goes by and you haven’t received any great calls or emails. You start getting worried and think that your mailer went bust. Did it really though? In today’s economy with the impact of COVID and all the extra stimulus money, there’s a notion that people are just hanging on to their properties because they can. Many people have been laid off from their jobs but a lot of those people are making more money from unemployment than they were while working. So, with all this extra money the need to sell their land isn’t as high. There’s a possibility that will be coming to a screeching halt here real soon as that money ends and none of that extra money was saved. At that point, those of us who have put out the mail will be flooded with calls. This is an interesting notion and one we’re going to discuss today on the show. What do you think? Is it going to happen?
