#14: My guest on today's episode goes by the name E.B. Farmer. I discovered him this past year when I learned about a book he wrote called “The Land Flipper: Turning Dirt Into Dollars”.(Show notes: https://REtipster.com/14)Initially, I picked up the book because I wanted to see how his approach was similar to (or different from) mine. I figured out pretty quickly that the strategy he uses is A LOT different from what I do… for instance:He doesn’t use direct mail (at least, not very often).He doesn’t make ludicrously cheap offers.He doesn’t invest in properties from afar.He typically does improvements and/or subdivides properties before selling them off as several smaller lots.He always walks the property himself.He works only in his local market, and deals with comps and properties he understand very well.Essentially, he’s going after a very different type of opportunity, one that requires quite a bit more time, money and hands-on work upfront, but as a result of his willingness to be more involved with each individual property, the average deal can have a much higher potential payout.With a different approach comes a host of different advantages and disadvantages (as we talk about in this episode).If you've ever been curious about what can be done to maximize the profit potential on some of the larger parcels of land you encounter, this is a conversation you won't want to miss. The next time you come across a bigger opportunity that might be worth more involvement - this might inspire some ideas on how you can expand your profit, rather than simply walking away because it doesn't fit inside the standard box of what you're willing to make an offer on.

#13: Land investing is like any other business, you need to take action if you expect to see any results.(Show Notes: https://REtipster.com/13)Every so often, I get emails from readers who tell me about the success they're having in the real estate business.One of those readers is a guy named Greg Srader. Greg has reached out to me on a number of occasions to let me know about some of the awesome deals he has done in the land investing business - and it has been truly inspiring to hear about what he has accomplished.

#12: Have you ever been captivated by an amazing story?If you're human - chances are, the answer is a resounding YES.(Show Notes: https://REtipster.com/12)Most of us can easily recall the best books we've ever read, the greatest movies we've seen and fairy tales we heard as children that have stuck with us through the years - and there's a good reason behind that.Stories are powerful. They have the ability to make any message more palatable, understandable, easy to accept and digest.Whatever business you're in, you can use the power of story to deliver your message, sell your product and change the world.In this interview, I talk with my good friend Rob Hughes about how we can all leverage story to increase our impact in the marketplace. Rob is a certified StoryBrand Guide with a great deal of insight to share on the subject.

#11: In this episode, I talk with Tamar Mar about how she buys and manages commercial multi-family properties through syndication.(Show Notes: https://REtipster.com/11)There's A LOT that goes into this business, and while it may seem overwhelming to the average person, she helps break down the various components of her deals and how she managed to move from her job as a CEO to full-time real estate investing.I learned a lot of cool things about her niche of real estate investing, and I think you will too!

#10: In this interview, I talk with Jaren Barnes about his expedition into the land investing business, and how he managed to pull off one massive deal in short order.(Show Notes: https://retipster.com/10)As you'll hear, Jaren knew how to learn the most essential elements of the land investing business model AND take action to make it happen.This conversation offers a lot of helpful lessons and some huge inspiration for those who are looking to start and grow a land investing business.

#9: When you're doing more than a few land deals each month, it's critical to find a system that can help scale your business and handle a larger deal flow.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/9)In this episode, I sit down with Howard Zonder and Seth Drehle-Ewan.We talk about how Howard has developed a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) built on Podio, that can automate a great deal of the ongoing functions involved with the land flipping lifecycle.We also talk about how Seth has built a land flipping empire that has doubled in sales for several consecutive months and is on track to hit anywhere from $750K - $1M in revenue this year (and did I mention, he's 23 years old... yeah).It's a great conversation! I hope you enjoy it.

#8: In this episode, I'm going to give you an in-depth look at one of my recent land deals.(Show Notes: https://REtipster.com/8)It basically took me a full year to put this episode together. Why? Because I didn't want to publish this until I had completed the ENTIRE buying and selling process.Sometimes this process happens quickly (i.e. - within a few weeks), but in this particular deal I'm about to show you, the timeline stretched out a bit longer than normal... because that's just what happens with some deals.In the end, this deal delivered a solid profit. There were a few bumps along the way, but overall, I think it went fairly smoothly.As with every deal, new lessons were learned, old lessons were reinforced, and I walked away a little bit wiser about how to handle the future deals I do.So let's dive in, shall we?

#7: Rich Carey somehow managed to build up a rental portfolio of 20 properties, without any debt... and he has amassed most of this rental property portfolio (all of which is in the southern United States) without being physically present in the U.S.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/7)This is something most people would say simply isn't possible, but one could easily make a case that if Rich can do it, you probably can too. The question is - are you willing to do what it takes to make this happen?In this episode, we talk about what it took for Rich to amass this kind of rental portfolio while working overseas, and how he's able to run this kind of business without being physically present to see any of his properties or tenants.

#6: Get ready to be inspired! Callie McGraw just managed to generate a full-time income in less than a year... and she did it all by flipping land in her spare time.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/6)The reason I like Callie's story so much is because she did this all while juggling the responsibilities of a stay-at-home mother of two, and all the responsibilities that come along with that HUGE job description.Her story is proof that this business can be done even when you've got other significant responsibilities on your plate. If you've let the excuse of "I don't have enough time" get the best of you - you need to hear Callie's story!

#5: YouTube is a mind-bogglingly huge platform for media, communication, entertainment, and a lot more. As the #2 most popular website in the world, there are a ton of people on this website every day, and it's a gigantic opportunity for real estate investors to get their message, listings and marketing out to the masses.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/5)In this episode, I'll tell you all about how I use YouTube in my business, some of the tricks I've learned over the years, and how you can apply some of my strategies to grow your business.
