165: Today, I’m talking with Michael Leigeber, the Founder of LandSearch.com.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/165)I first heard about LandSearch a few years ago when a member of their team reached out to me. Even back then, when I first saw the site, I thought it was pretty cool. Over the years, the platform has only continued to improve.LandSearch is easy and intuitive to use, it’s designed much better than the other big-name land-listing platforms out there, and they've added some very nice functionality to the site that no other land-listing marketplace has thought of. I’ve even found some deals on this site before!In this conversation, Michael will help us understand what this site is about, who it's for, and the unique value it brings to the market for land investors.

164: Today, I’m talking with one of the most enthusiastic and inspiring land investors I know in the REtipster community, Arturo Paturzo.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/164)Arturo is an Italian Navy Officer living in Rome and running his land investing business in the US. He started this business because he was looking for real estate investment opportunities; luckily, the YouTube algorithm showed him the "land flipping life cycle" video from REtipster, and the rest is history.Ever since Arturo joined the REtipster Community and enrolled in the Land Investing Masterclass, it has been fascinating and inspiring to watch him post in our forum and Facebook group as he tries to figure out the best ways to handle various situations and because of his inquisitive nature, he helps a lot of people figure stuff out, just by asking the questions that other people either don’t think to ask or are too scared to ask.I’m also fascinated by how Art has been doing this from a long distance, in a very different time zone, speaking a very different language, while working a very full-time job in the Navy. This guy has a lot of natural challenges to work around… as many of us do, but they’re even more intense because of where he’s coming from.

163: Michael Quan has done a lot in his life. He ran a successful technology company for over a decade and then sold it to prioritize his family.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/163)Since then, Michael has been blogging at FinanciallyAlert.com, a published author of the F.I.R.E. Planner through Simon & Schuster, and his guy has a deep passion for personal finance and empowers others to take charge of their financial well-being.This past May, Michael and I were at a REWBCON conference. At the conference, I sat in on Michael’s presentation about how real estate investors can use AI to run their businesses.As we all know, AI has been a huge topic over the past year, with the explosion of innovative new tools and websites that can be used in many different ways to make life easier and more efficient than ever before.I’ve been racking my brain, trying to think of different ways real estate investors can use AI because I know there is huge potential here, but when I saw Michael’s presentation, I realized he had already done most of the heavy lifting for me. So, rather than me trying to teach you what can be done, Michael will teach us what can be done, and we’ll talk about some of the cutting-edge tools available to you right now.With AI, your biggest limitation is your imagination and recognizing what can be done. With any luck, after hearing what Michael has to say, you may develop some of your own ideas, and if you do, I hope you’ll share them with the REtipster Community, either in our forum or Facebook group!

Today, I have the privilege of talking with my friend JB.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/162)JB is a land investor who nets, not grosses, but NETS well over seven figures in the land business, year after year. And you know what's interesting? He doesn’t want or need anyone else to know about it.He’s not trying to be an influencer. He’s not trying to build an audience or sell coaching services. He just keeps to himself and plugs away, and he doesn’t need your or my approval to keep himself motivated.Whenever I hear about a land investor doing this well, I’m always curious to know more about how they do it… but you gotta admit, there’s something pretty cool about someone who does this well, and they aren't going out of their way to seek extra attention or pats on the back.I’ve been emailing back and forth with JB since 2017, and the first time I talked with him on Zoom call a couple of years ago, I invited him to the podcast… but he didn’t seem excited about doing it.Luckily for me, I was finally able to meet him face-to-face at a conference recently, where I got to know him a bit better, and he actually agreed to do this interview! Can you believe it?!So… we’re going to sit down with JB and get a peek into the world of an undercover millionaire land investor and learn more about his recipe for success.
