Episode notes
Encumbered Properties Yield Bigger Margins
- Distressed/encumbered properties can produce much higher returns than traditional land flips.
- Clint found these deals often double or more the returns he used to expect from standard flip strategies.

- Run a two-pronged acquisition approach: outbound prospecting plus paid PPC.
- Use outbound for low-cost leads and PPC (Google) to capture motivated sellers quickly.

- These flags commonly indicate encumbrances that block traditional sales and create opportunities.
