I LIVE IN AFRICA AND VIRTUALLY CLOSED MY FIRST WHOLESALE DEAL
Hey everyone, I don’t know who will read this, but please—don’t give up. Listen closely to what Zach and Rick are teaching. When I started my journey 4 months ago, I was at rock bottom. I joined one of Zach and Rick’s lives and explained my entire situation. I live in a small African country called Eswatini, with a population of just 1.3 million and an average income of only $2,500 a year. At the time, I was embarrassed to admit the truth, so I told them I made the average income. But today, I want to be honest: I actually make just $142 a month—around $1,700/yr .To many in the U.S., that may sound unbelievable, but if you look up my country, you’ll understand the conditions here. After sharing my story, Zach gave me a clear game plan: pull government lists and cold call them. On March 27, 2025—two days after my mom’s birthday—I set a 3-month plan to close my first deal by June 27, 2025. I had confidence because I connected with a boots-on-the-ground partner who found me through Zach’s live and reached out via Facebook. Nobody around me believed I could succeed—people just don’t “make it out” where I’m from. But one thing that kept me going was knowing I could be a pioneer in my country. Nobody here is talking about wholesaling. The closest thing to “making money online” people know is forex—and even then, very few succeed. I also have to give a special shout-out to my mom, who believed in me and borrowed $150 a month to help fund my wholesaling journey. This lady is going to get all of my fruits of labor. She is absolutely a star in my life Here was my daily routine: - 7 AM – 5 PM: Work - 7 PM – 2 AM: Wholesaling (cold calling, studying, improving my skills) - 2 AM – 3 AM: Workout and review scripts/KPIs - 3:15 AM – 7 AM: Sleep I kept this schedule for 100 days straight. Weekends were a bit easier—I’d cold call for 2 hours on Saturdays and rest on Sundays. The first week of cold calling was brutal. My English was rough, sellers couldn’t always understand me, and I was nervous every time I heard the prices they threw out (the biggest numbers I’d ever heard in my life, lol). By week two, I started to improve. I grew more comfortable, cared less about rejection, and studied objections until I knew them well. My English improved a lot because I watched videos during the day, and I leaned on motivational videos and prayer to keep me going.

Endless respect brother, thanks for sharing. Wishing you the best going forward
Local vs. Virtual For Land
For all my land peeps, do you guys value staying in your local market at all, or you exclusively target the hottest areas you can find? I'm leaning heavily towards the latter, as it seems like the edge in staying local for land is greatly reduced, and that it's inherently a much more virtual/remote approach, but want to make sure I'm assessing that correctly. Thanks in advance.

@Benjamin Stone i haven't yet but you want to identify areas where a large number of lots are being purchased and builders are buying. which can be done simply through zillow. look up alex mineo on youtube, he has videos breaking down the process.

Crash Course For a Hungry Noob
What's up everybody. Been in here two days and can finally post. My goal is to have a deal done in my first 30 days. Any information anyone can provide to a COMPLETE noob would be GREATLY appreciated. I'll lay out my thought process below. My intention is to get started with land deals. Have been binging videos on that niche specifically, and the course here, and I'm itching to get started. However, I want to make sure I'm not skipping steps which I'll later come to regret. Here's a few questions I have: In the course, I saw Rick mention that you don't need an LLC prior to putting anything under contract. Would you guys recommend getting the LLC first or just start firing and deal with it when I have to? Same question regarding securing a title company. I saw someone else mention that there's a vacant land portion of the course, which I've been unable to locate. Is there? And if so, which portion of the course is it in? Are plots of land that are posted on the market completely useless? Meaning, there's practically no chance of closing a profitable deal if it's listed on the market? Here's my very brief action plan stated as concisely as possible: 1. Identify a hot market where many vacant lots have been selling 2. Confirm that builders are building in that area and would be interested in purchasing more land - Identify what they're paying 3. Find and contact as many potential sellers as possible (I still don't really get/know how to source off market deals but that's the next thing I'll be digging into) 4. After agreeing on a price with the seller, send them contract, secure title company, and file for LLC? 5. Close deal What am I missing? What's being overlooked? Am I being naïve? Any info, guidance, etc. on ANY of this would be tremendously helpful. Thank you all in advance.

@Ross Small thank you. Have been using their AI model a ton, really helpful. Going to strongly consider xleads but I’m fully expecting to be cold calling for at least my first few deals. Then will look to automate more and more as I progress.

@Luis Fernandez appreciate the response man. Love the confirmation that it’s that simple!
Accountability
Soo I started off strong, fell off and now I'm back at it! What's your best advice to keep motivated in this crazy world?

Identify your "why." Consider the alternative. Either you're willing to overcome the adversity and less pleasant aspects to put the work in and get what you want. Or you don't get it. If the "why" is strong enough, it won't even be in question. If it's not, maybe you need a stronger "why."
