117: Today I'm talking with Paul Moore of Wellings Capital.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/117)Normally, I wouldn’t be interviewing the same person again so soon, but I heard back from a lot of people who LOVED our first conversation with Paul in episode 111.And interestingly enough, I just heard that Paul is putting out a book with BiggerPockets about self-storage investing.Self-storage has been hot on my radar this past year because I’ve been laying the groundwork for a new construction project on my first storage facility. I’ve been deeply entrenched in this world and thinking through a lot of the risks and rewards of this business, and I’m frankly curious to hear what Paul has to say about it. 📊 Manage Land Deals Like a Pro with Stride CRMBuilt for Land Investors!

115: One of the big values that members of the Land Investing Masterclass get access to is the free "Office Hours" group coaching calls we do each month.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/115)Not long ago, someone suggested that I take one of these members-only calls and publish it as a podcast episode.I thought it was a great idea, so I put together a sampler of some of the various questions and answers from these sessions over the past few months.If you're a land investor and/or if you've ever wondered what these calls are like, this Q&A mash-up should give you a pretty good idea of what it's all about.

114: Earlier this year, I stumbled across another YouTuber who was putting out some fascinating videos about a topic that I've been interested in for a long time.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/114)The channel is called Robuilt and it's run by a guy named Rob. Rob runs an Airbnb business that allows visitors to stay in tiny houses and glamping sites that provide a unique experience.This is a topic many land investors are interested in because it presents an opportunity to generate recurring income from their vacant lands.If you've done more than a dozen land transactions, you've probably seen your share of vacant lots that are beautiful properties in great locations. Perhaps YOU would even enjoy spending time there, but as a land flipper, your goal is to simply flip the property, make a profit, and move on to the next one.But what if you didn't flip land? What if you kept some of these properties as a long-term investment and instead, invested a small amount of money in a tiny house, RV, or glamping unit, and turned it into a source of income?What are the different ways this can be done? What does it take to manage this kind of business? How much time, effort, and energy are required to make this happen?Today, we're going to talk with Rob about how his business works and maybe, you'll learn enough to decide whether this is something you want to pursue yourself. 📊 Manage Land Deals Like a Pro with Stride CRMBuilt for Land Investors!

113: Back in the summer of 2018, I started working with Jaren Barnes.He was the first person I had ever hired as a full-time employee for REtipster.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/113)He was a special find for someone like me because he had a lot of specialized experience, not only in the world of content creation but also as a land investor and house wholesaler. He had all kinds of great insights to share, not based on theory, but based on his first-hand experience.Over the past three years, he has made some incredible contributions to the content library at REtipster and he brought a new voice and personality to the podcast and YouTube channel.As of October 1, Jaren is leaving REtipster to pursue his own projects. Jaren is still a great friend of the REtipster Community and we'll still hear from Jaren from time to time on the podcast, but we won't be seeing much from him on the blog or YouTube channel anymore.Let's talk about what's next for Jaren and why he's moving in a different direction.  📊 Manage Land Deals Like a Pro with Stride CRMBuilt for Land Investors!

Today I'm talking with Mike Marshall about land entitlements.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/112)Believe it or not, I didn’t know hardly anything about the concept of getting land entitlements until about a year ago because, for most of my land investing career, I had never done any improvements or development with any of the vacant lots I’d flipped. I just bought them for really cheap, did nothing to them, and then resold them for a higher price.That’s all good and fine, and there are a lot of advantages of taking that approach, but what if you DO want to develop your land, or even if you don’t develop it yourself, but you want to obtain all the necessary approvals from the local government so that the next guy can start developing it? This is called the entitlement process. Land entitlement is the legal process where a real estate developer or landowner obtains approval from the local governing body for their development plans.When a property receives its entitlements, it brings certainty to the equation, so you know a property can be used for a specific purpose and developed a certain way (so you don’t have to buy a property without knowing if you’ll be able to use it for your intended purpose). This certainty actually adds value to the property.I’m talking with Mike Marshall because he’s an expert in this stuff. With nearly 20 years of experience in the land entitlement space, he knows all about how to entitlements to add value to a property without ever having to touch it. Whether it's subdivisions, change of use permits, zoning changes, or full-scale development, Mike knows how to help investors navigate the regulatory waters on their pathway towards entitlement approval. 📊 Manage Land Deals Like a Pro with Stride CRMBuilt for Land Investors!
