How I'm Harnessing FaceTime for the Win on a Virtual Land Flipping Deal What you picture first when you think of real estate investing? If it's fixing up and reselling or renting houses, I think it's safe to say you're in the majority of investors. But land investing for quick flips, development or banking offers several advantages you might consider: - You can do it virtually. - It's a LOT (no pun intended) less complicated. - There's very good money in it if you know what you're doing. Example, in my first land flip, I bought a parcel just outside Cottonwood, AZ for $1,800 and sold it a few days later for $35k. And yes, those are the right figures. Not every land deal delivers a return like that. But that deal sure got me hooked! But I digress… By hooking up with a local land agent to help you sell the property, with a simple FaceTime call, they can be your "boots on the ground" and give you a walking tour of the property. Just one of the many ways to harness today’s tech to go virtual! How are you taking advantage of Ai and other rapidly evolving technologies to accelerate your investing?

So cool putting together JV deals virtually. Just connected with a potential JV partner in North Carolina, working from my home base in Boulder, CO. Why do I love these deals? 1. You can go anywhere in the country. 2. The cost is zero. 3. It increases your number of opportunities exponentially. Got buyers and need deals, or got deals and need buyers? DM me — let's see if there's a fit.

There are at least a dozen ways to build a strong buyers list. You want buyers who are hungry for deals, able to move quickly and clear on what they want. My current top 3 methods for finding buyers I can count on: - InvestorBase - REIA meetups - "Goldilocks" agents: Not your hot top producers and team leaders, but not agents who've only sold one deal in the past 12 months. You want agents in the middle of the pack who are active, investor-friendly, and hungry for deals These are what's working best for me as of today. What's works best for you?

I don't know what your big why is for pursuing financial freedom through real estate, but I can tell you for me, it's being able to be with, support and love my two amazing sons, of whom I am proud beyond measure. While I would describe the relationship with my own dad during my teen years as rocky and rebellious, I now realize how much love, and all the amazing gifts he gave so selflessly to me. Brings to mind something Mark Twain is reputed (though actually not) to have said… "𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘣𝘰𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘧𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘦𝘯, 𝘮𝘺 𝘧𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘴𝘰 𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘐 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥.

Whether you have kids or not, take a moment to appreciate at least one little thing your father gave you.

It takes a sharp eye to catch all of the pitfalls you can run into with a fixer. This is where a good checklist comes in. We all have blind spots, and some can be massive profit killers. Like the one I didn't catch until I walked the property today.
