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.

Sometimes there’s a narrow road splitting the difference between what’s right and what’s wrong and the Real Estate industry is no exception to this. It doesn’t seem to matter who you are either, at some point you’re gonna be put in a situation where you’ll have to make a decision and either yourself or someone else is going to take a loss because of it.

Then there’s the whole other part with this regarding someone being sick. So, what did we do? You’re gonna have to listen to find out.

Everyone’s idea of what it looks like when you’re successful is different and the truth is you can never really know what someones financial situation is by looking at them.

It’s truly interesting to hear and think about what others equate success to which is why we’re gonna talk about it today. What do you think? Are you tempted to spend money on excess or could you be comfortable living under the radar?

In our business sitting on a property could mean opportunity missed on another deal because your capital is tied up in the deal you’re sitting on. So when an offer comes in, even if it’s not exactly what we wanted we’ll seriously look into it. Especially if we’re still going to make really good money. This exact thing happened to us this past week. We got an offer on a property where we stood to make a really good return however it was definitely well below what we wanted out of it. This was a buyer that found us outside of our Realtor so when we broke the news to her she immediately said that we shouldn’t have taken it because she has a really hot lead who would pay more. The problem with this is that we had an actual legit offer in our hands and not the hopes that we could get a better offer at some point. So this brought up the question of whether you hold out a little longer for a better deal or do you take what’s in front of you and move on? On today’s show we’ll be going over this and why we do what we do in these situations. What do you think? Do you take the offer or hold out?

If you haven’t figured it out yet, opportunities in life aren’t just going to magically come find you and there’s no fairy that’s going to come along and sprinkle some killer opportunity dust on you either. If you want success, you’ve gotta be willing to put yourself out there and do the work. The more you put yourself out there, the more things will come your way. In the land investing niche that can be as simple as getting started or sending more mail or scouring the groups for partners. It doesn’t really matter what you’re doing as long as your getting out there and trying something. If it makes you uncomfortable, great! Do it anyway and eventually it’ll become common place.

Marketing your properties for sale is a crucial step in successful land investing. It seems obvious but if you’re not putting in the work to get your land sold then it will sit forever. When we sell our properties we use the “Be Everywhere” method which, just like it sounds, means be everywhere. You post your properties on all the land sites, craigslist, Facebook, forums, etc. etc. So the question is, do you go back and take all that down, mark it sold or keep it going? Join us today as talk about what we do and then let us know what you think.
