It’s a question as old as Land Investing… Should I improve my property? Clean up the brush, trim the trees, mow the grass, etc.. etc.. There’s definitely something to be said about it because at some point you’ll buy an amazing piece of property and you’ll start thinking to yourself that if you just spent a little money and time this would be a dime piece of a property. The question is though, is it worth it? Do you have to do it to sell the land? Will the improvements make it more valuable? Join us today as we tell you what we think and what we’ve done in the past.

After spending the last several days on motorcycles exploring all Colorado has to offer and seeing all the land that we and our fellow investors buy and sell in that state we thought it was time for a good reminder to get out there and enjoy what you do. The way that we teach to buy and sell land allows you to do it anywhere in the country and because of that we’re opened up to countless opportunities to get out and go explore. Do you need to? No and for the most part we don’t but let’s not forget that it can be down right fun to get away for a few days and go see parts of the country you’ve never been to before. So join us today as we recap our trip through the mountains and some of the takeaways we came back home with.

One of the problems in Real Estate is that you’re dealing with people and people can be finicky at times. It doesn’t happen often, actually only a few times in our careers so far, but someone will commit to buying a property from you, put up the escrow money, wait a few weeks and then decide that they no longer want the property for whatever reason. Sometimes they’ll sell you a sad story in hopes that you give the escrow money back, sometimes they’ll just assume they deserve it and sometimes they don’t even fight it and just release it to you. Today’s show covers the people that want the money back. What do you do in those situations? Give it back and move on or keep it because they backed out?

When you learn how to successfully do a blind offer campaign for off market land deals, you open the doors to almost any type of real estate and business venture you can think of.

We love and teach how to buy off market land but that doesn’t mean we don’t use the same techniques to do other ventures and that’s what we’re going to talk about today because once you learn this stuff you’re only limited by your imagination.

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.
