082: Today we’re talking with my friend Mike Marshall about the opportunities and the complexities in rezoning properties.(Show Notes: https://retipster.com/82)This is something most real estate investors are vaguely aware of, but it’s not something we deal with every day. Most of us (myself included) have a tendency to dismiss the idea because it seems too complicated, intimidating or we just don’t understand how to do it.If you really have a solid understanding of what’s involved, how it works, what kinds of properties do (and don’t) make sense to alter the zoning and how much upside profit potential there can be on the right type of property, you can greatly expand your outlook and pursue deals with some BIG hidden value that most other investors will simply overlook.And by the way, Mike actually has a course called Rezoning for Profits where he goes into great detail about all the stuff we’re going to talk about today, and this course is available FOR FREE, exclusively to members of the Land Investing Masterclass… so if you’re already a member, be sure to check it out! And if you’re not a member, what are you waiting for?? This is the most comprehensive land investing course out there right now, and it just got a lot better with the addition of Mike’s course. 🙋🏻‍♂️ Get the REtipster Newsletter (It's FREE)!Stay updated with top real estate investing insights and strategies 🚀 Land Investor’s Action Plan (Free 5-Day Course!)Solve the 5 mistakes that keep investors stuck ⚠️ Land Buyer’s Survival Guide (Free 5-Day Course!)Avoid the 21 most deadly land-buying blunders 👉 10X Your Income from Land InvestingLearn how to start and supercharge your land investing business 😀 Join the REtipster Forum!Connect with experienced investors and get expert advice. 🛠️ All My Favorite Tools and Resources 🛠️The best software, services, and gear I use daily

081: Kris Haskins is someone Jaren and I met this past year at a conference in LA called VidSummit.(Show Notes: https://retipster.com/81)We noticed him because he was wearing this jacket that said “I Buy Houses” on the back. As far as we could tell, he was the only other real estate person at this conference, so we got to know him a little bit and found he was a pretty cool guy.Kris deals mostly with flipping, renovation, new construction, and raising private money, and in his videos, he takes you along for the ride and explains a lot of concepts in a way that is very easy to understand.Another thing Kris is great at is negotiation… getting people to accept lower offers and putting together win-win transactions. This is something we don’t actually deal with much in the land flipping business because our offers are more of a "take-it-or-leave-it" thing, but when you’re dealing with houses, negotiation and communication are significantly more important (and really in most of life, negotiation skills can get you a long way).In this interview, we’re going to talk about Kris’ secret sauce for negotiating and how he’s been able to make a great life for himself as a real estate investor. 🙋🏻‍♂️ Get the REtipster Newsletter (It's FREE)!Stay updated with top real estate investing insights and strategies 🚀 Land Investor’s Action Plan (Free 5-Day Course!)Solve the 5 mistakes that keep investors stuck ⚠️ Land Buyer’s Survival Guide (Free 5-Day Course!)Avoid the 21 most deadly land-buying blunders 👉 10X Your Income from Land InvestingLearn how to start and supercharge your land investing business 😀 Join the REtipster Forum!Connect with experienced investors and get expert advice. 🛠️ All My Favorite Tools and Resources 🛠️The best software, services, and gear I use daily

079: Today we’re talking with Andrew Flanagan.(Show Notes: https://retipster.com/79)Andrew is someone I’ve noticed in our Facebook Community over the past couple of years as another helpful voice who asks good questions and gives good feedback to others.A few weeks back I noticed him post something about how he was able to use the land business to quit his 6-figure job within 9 months and that apparently, he said he owes a large percentage to the stuff we’ve been putting out there at REtipster.Any time I see this, I’m like, “WOW! I want to know more!", and I’m sure the REtipster audience would love to know more too.So today, we’re having another one of these land investor success story conversations to find out what the road map looks like. Not everyone has to take the same steps or follow the same timeline, but chances are, we’ll all learn something new from this. 🙋🏻‍♂️ Get the REtipster Newsletter (It's FREE)!Stay updated with top real estate investing insights and strategies 🚀 Land Investor’s Action Plan (Free 5-Day Course!)Solve the 5 mistakes that keep investors stuck ⚠️ Land Buyer’s Survival Guide (Free 5-Day Course!)Avoid the 21 most deadly land-buying blunders 👉 10X Your Income from Land InvestingLearn how to start and supercharge your land investing business 😀 Join the REtipster Forum!Connect with experienced investors and get expert advice. 🛠️ All My Favorite Tools and Resources 🛠️The best software, services, and gear I use daily

078: Justin Bogard is one of the leading experts in the realm of real estate note investing.(Show Notes: https://retipster.com/78)Justin is the president of BrightPath Notes, where he actively buys, sells, and creates real estate notes nationwide.A note investor is someone who invests in the loan against a piece of real estate.For example, say a real estate investor buys a property for $40,000 and sells it for $100,000, but they don’t get paid all the cash immediately at closing, they sell it with owner financing. In other words, the seller becomes the bank, and they hold a note with the buyer. The note stipulates that the buyer will owe them the remaining balance of the $100,000 sale price, and lays out the terms of how quickly the money will be paid back and how much interest will be owed, among other things.If they wanted to, this real estate investor could potentially work with someone like Justin by taking this note for $100,000 and selling it to a note investor for say $75,000 (so, not the full amount of the balance owed, but a discounted portion of it).The benefit for the real estate investor is that, even though they wouldn’t be getting the full loan balance, they would make the bulk of their money back immediately (rather than having to wait years to get it), and the note investor would receive all the equity in the deal plus the remaining principal and interest for the remainder of the term for the loan (since they bought the note, it's not owed to them). It can be a great solution for both parties when the real estate investor wants their liquidity now and the note investor wants the semi-passive cash flow without doing all the work to find and work the deal. 🙋🏻‍♂️ Get the REtipster Newsletter (It's FREE)!Stay updated with top real estate investing insights and strategies 🚀 Land Investor’s Action Plan (Free 5-Day Course!)Solve the 5 mistakes that keep investors stuck ⚠️ Land Buyer’s Survival Guide (Free 5-Day Course!)Avoid the 21 most deadly land-buying blunders 👉 10X Your Income from Land InvestingLearn how to start and supercharge your land investing business 😀 Join the REtipster Forum!Connect with experienced investors and get expert advice. 🛠️ All My Favorite Tools and Resources 🛠️The best software, services, and gear I use daily

077: Today we’re talking with Justin Sliva.(Show Notes: https://retipster.com/77)Justin has been a rising star in the land investing space over the past couple of years, he and his co-host Adam Southey are running a pretty awesome podcast called Casual Fridays REI.There are actually a couple of reasons we wanted to talk with Justin. In addition to being a land investor, Justin has also been pretty heavily involved with other people’s land deals. He gets involved by partnering with other investors (contributing cash when others are short on funds) and even buying out existing notes on seller-financed land deals.This is actually a pretty unique thing because most lenders and note buyers are pretty skittish about land (because it’s difficult to appraise and quantify the value of the collateral), but Justin has found a way to make it work.In this session, we're going to figure out how this arm of his land business works and how to put together win-win-win scenarios with other land investors. 🙋🏻‍♂️ Get the REtipster Newsletter (It's FREE)!Stay updated with top real estate investing insights and strategies 🚀 Land Investor’s Action Plan (Free 5-Day Course!)Solve the 5 mistakes that keep investors stuck ⚠️ Land Buyer’s Survival Guide (Free 5-Day Course!)Avoid the 21 most deadly land-buying blunders 👉 10X Your Income from Land InvestingLearn how to start and supercharge your land investing business 😀 Join the REtipster Forum!Connect with experienced investors and get expert advice. 🛠️ All My Favorite Tools and Resources 🛠️The best software, services, and gear I use daily
