How to Determine If a Property Is Really a Deal

When it comes to land flipping, one crucial factor is the ability to determine whether a potential property is worth pursuing or not. Having a clear set of criteria can make this decision-making process more efficient and less emotional. 

In this episode, we discuss the essential steps for setting criteria and determining if a land deal is worth your time and resources. In our case, we aim to double our investment in the property. 

Even though this doesn't always happen, it is a good criterion for looking at deals. This benchmark allows room for profit even after considering commissions, closing costs, and due diligence expenses. 

Ultimately, each land investor may have slightly different criteria based on their experience and risk tolerance. 

As you gain experience in the field, you can refine your criteria to suit your investment style and market conditions. This personalized "rule of thumb" will help you quickly evaluate potential deals. 

Tune in to this episode to learn more about our criteria for determining a good deal and other factors we look at, including the exit price.
