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. We were actually just put in this situation on the sale of some land where the seller backed out long after there option period was over and they asked for their money back. So what do you do? The properties been off the market for several weeks at this point and the buyer is well aware of what happens when you back out of a contract after a certain time frame. 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. The person in the custom suit may be living paycheck to paycheck just to keep up while the person on the beach could live the rest of their lives without ever working again. 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. The only thing we don’t recommend is hiding in the background. If you want it, put yourself out there and go get it!

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.

After the great show we just had with the Prycd.com team we started thinking about all the people who are looking for that one thing that they can create that will change the world and make them super rich. We hear it all the time, people will say something like, “I’d love to create a business I just can’t think of anything to do that isn’t already out there”. This kind of thinking can be a dream killer because you don’t necessarily have to create the next big thing. You can start with what you know already works and expand it from there once you get going. Were we the first people to do Land Investing? No but we learned it and then made it our own. The same goes for the Prycd guys. They got into the niche, found a problem and then created a solution around it. These kind of things are everywhere once you get started so join us today and get your mind running and see what you can come up with.
