Episode 257 – Experience More

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.

Episode 256 – The Rebel of Your Youth

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?

Episode 255 – Busted Mailer or Busted Economy

Episode 255 – Busted Mailer or Busted Economy

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?

Episode 253 – Is There To Much Noise?

Episode 253 – Is There To Much Noise?

When you’re brand new or just getting started in any industry you’re obviously going to have questions and we all know there is no shortage of answers on the internet. There’s a million different forums, Facebook groups and coaching and while there may be some great information in all of those the problem is that none of them are the exact same. Peoples thought processes and levels of experience are going to be completely different. So when you’re looking for an answer to a question one group tells you one thing while another tells you some thing else and then to top it off you get “expert” advice from someone who’s done less than you. Before you know it you’re more confused than you ever were. So what do you do? Well, we’re gonna talk about that on today’s show so listen in!

Episode 251 – The Honey Hole – Fact or Fiction?

Episode 251 – The Honey Hole – Fact or Fiction?

Recently one of our members mentioned that they had found a little honey hole and while they weren’t going to share where it was, the idea did bring up some questions about honey holes in general. In particular, do they really exist or is it more of a hindsight 20/20 kinda deal? We’ll explore this question on today’s show and then tell everyone where it is exactly that his honey hole is.. Just Kidding 🙂 we wouldn’t do that. We do love to question and talk things out though so join us today as we do just that.

Episode 250 – Selling at a Loss

Episode 250 – Selling at a Loss

Raise your hand if you’re interested in selling your properties at a loss.. Go ahead, we’ll wait.. Nobody?? Hmm.. That’s odd. I mean, who wouldn’t want to put all their hard work, time and money into a property and then sell it for less than you have in it? It does happen though. In our experience with land it’s very rare but it does happen. You don’t pout, give up or move onto a new business though. You learn from your mistakes, knock the dirt off and get back out there. If you’re smart you’ll not only make a profit on your next property but you’ll make back the loss you had. That’s what today’s show is about. Letting go of the losers and making money on the next deals. We hope this doesn’t ever happen to you but it could so we hope this episode is a reminder that it isn’t the end of the world.

Episode 249 – Accessing 401k Money During COVID

One good thing to come from this crazy time we’re living in right now are the financial incentives available to us. One of those in particular is the ability to borrow money from your 401k penalty free and put it to work. This is an awesome opportunity for people with retirement money that they normally wouldn’t touch because of the hefty penalties. We’re not tax experts so we’re not going to get into the super nitty gritty here but we are going to go over some of the rules, benefits and disadvantages of this today and hopefully you’ll be as excited about this as us.

Episode 248 – Hard Work Works

Episode 248 – Hard Work Works

You wanna know what really separates those that succeed and those that fail? It’s no secret. In fact, most of you who listen to this show already no what it is. I’m talking about an unrelenting work ethic. That’s right, good old hard freakin work. The type of work that knows no bounds. The type of work that gets up early, stays late, hustles hard and never quits. The type that doesn’t worry about their competition because the competition can’t possibly out do them. Being a successful business person is’t easy. It comes with a lot of ups and downs but if you put in the work, stay committed, learn from your mistakes and give all that you can you your odds of success are greatly multiplied. So what do you think? Do you have what it takes?
