How your business is doing and the life you currently live is all about perspective. Maybe you dreams of making millions but aren’t quite there yet. Does that really mean you’re not doing well if you’re making more than you ever made in your full time job?

These are questions that are easily looked over but are super important to recognize. So join us today as we dive into this topic and let us know what you think.

When things aren’t going your way it’s really easy to look for external excuses as to why you’re not seeing the success you want. We actually here some of these things all the time. Things like, there’s to many investors now, mail doesn’t work, etc.. We believe these are exactly what they sound like, excuses. Where not saying that there aren’t more investors and that because of that more marketing isn’t happening but we are saying that this is business and things change all the time. The question is what are you doing about it? So today we’re gonna talk about what to focus on instead of the doom and gloom. Make sure you join us and take a note or two.

It’s almost a love hate relationship that us Investors have with Title Companies. They are definitely worth having and they make sure that we’re purchasing a property that’s clear of any problems. However, they’re often the cause of problems we didn’t even know we had. Sometimes this takes a good property and ruins the deal and other times it creates a situation for us to figure out and really make some money. So join us today as we dive into some situations we’ve dealt with and the results we’ve seen.

Sometimes you’ll come across a deal that goes extremely smooth and is bought and flipped before you can even blink. That’s not necessarily the norm though and having patience is of utmost importance if you want to make it long term in this business. This means you’re willing to look at deals and know you may not immediately get paid on them but when you do, it’ll be a great pay day. This also means having the ability to put off that new car purchase or that fancy trip or that big house until you’ve successfully built a business that can stand the test of time and the patience it takes to be successful.

580 - Episode 473 – What Are You Willing To Do?

Sometimes the difference between a good deal and a bad deal, a yes or a no, a good property and a bad property are what you’re willing to do as the investor. It’s really easy to get spoiled as a land investor because for so long all you had to do was send mail and inevitably a property that meets all your criteria would come back to you. The ones that were missing something just got passed on. There’s a lot of money to be made on the properties with problems though and those are the ones we’re talking about today. So join us and see what exactly we mean.

Do you have a savings account? Are you earning any interest on that savings account? Are you sitting cash heavy with no deals in sight? Do you have money that you know you need to invest but you’re sitting on it, waiting for something to come your way? If you do, you’re not alone. There’s a lot of us like that. The question is how much are we costing ourselves by not having that money working for us. I’m not just talking about land deals here, I’m talking about anything.. Could be a high interest savings account or CD. Things that pay better than zero that when you look back at the end of the year add up to a decent amount. Join us today as we talk about some of the things we’ve been seeing and doing and then decide if there right for you.

We’re talking about the people that you already called who mentioned they weren’t quite ready to sell but may be later. People that showed interest but for whatever reason you couldn’t close right then. These are literal pieces of gold that get overlooked by many people in their career.

575 - Episode 468 – Why Did It Take So Long?

Todays episode is inspired by a recent social media post we made regarding the completion of a subdivide project. The post, if you haven’t seen it yet, ask a simple question about whether or not you thought the deal was a good one or not. Unlike many post on social media, we didn’t just want to show the final number and shout from the roofs just how awesome we were. The intent was to show the actual numbers and time it took to get done. One of the questions we received was, why the deal took so long. It’s actually a great question that opened up even more depth to our initial goal of being completely transparent. So, with that in mind, todays episode is a really good one to listen to because we actually break it down in a way that most won’t so that you can understand what it’s really like.

Entrepreneurship is one of the hardest things anyone can take on. Sure, it has massive benefits if you succeed but it also comes with a ton of work, pressure, decision making, etc.. It’s even harder when you’re brand new and you’re the one having to make every decision and do all of the work.

It doesn’t matter what niche your in at some point you will encounter someone either selling or trying to buy the same thing that you are. For Land Investors this is common with our acquisitions because we’ll market to a certain area and so will other investors. The problem with this comes when someone offers to purchase land for way more than everyone else and now the land owner doesn’t want anything to do with the lesser of the agreements. We know from our experience that the people offering way more will never close on the deal but now the people that know what they’re doing are forced into different scenarios. What are those situations? Join us today to find out.

The ability to control ones time is such an important gift we can give ourselves. Not only does it allow you to be free when / if you ever have something to do but it also lends you to the ability to say “no”. I’m sure there’s plenty of ways to do this but building a business / side hustle especially in a niche like land that doesn’t require a ton of time is the best way to do this. Let’s say you wake up sick in the middle of the night, you can rest easy knowing you don’t have to do anything the next day if you want. Let’s say you’ve got a job with a jerk of a boss, you can rest easy knowing that you don’t care what they have to say. This is what ultimate freedom, not just time looks like and today we’re gonna dive more into it.

We’ve been doing this a long time now and one thing we know for sure is that there’s a big ole smoke show out there. That on it’s own doesn’t really bother us. People have always wanted to puff their chest and act like they’re doing more than they really are. No big deal. It becomes a problem though when you start to compare yourself to what you see online or hear people talk about. Instinctively we’ll hear someone talk about what they’re doing and whether or not it’s true, we’ll start doubting ourselves if we’re not at that level. This doubt can cause harm in your business and personal life. So today we’re hear to tell you that it doesn’t matter. If you’re working every day and have grown more than where you started from than you’re doing awesome. So join us today and listen to the message.

July was a month to remember. We traveled, made memories, got married, traveled some more, had amazing experiences and lived life with our family and friends. It was a well deserved break that we were excited to do and grateful that the land niche provided us the ability to do so. Life isn’t all about working with no fun. It’s about what we can do while were here and that’s just what we did.

548 - Episode 441 – When Is Leverage Okay?

Back in our day we had to walk up hill, barefoot in the snow just to get the opportunity to purchase a piece of land and back then we were told never to use leverage. It would ruin you financially and your business would go bankrupt. That’s no longer the case and it probably never should’ve been something that was preached so hard. Brining on the right leverage especially with the right knowledge or people can really amplify your returns and business. So join us today as we dive into this and give all our thoughts on it.

541 - Episode 434 – Invest In The Smoky Mountains with Leslie Anne Morris

Leslie Anne Morris began her Smoky Mountain investing journey while earning her MBA at the University of Southern California and working in Los Angeles as a commercial banker. For over twenty years, Leslie helped high-profile clients like SpaceX and closed a $50 million private equity deal. She applies the same underwriting strategy to building her growing real estate portfolio. And today, she is sharing her playbook to motivate others to do the same while creating truly passive income in short-term rentals.

From the minute she closed on her first investment cabin in 2019, she knew she had made the right choice. The cash flow allowed her to rapidly scale her portfolio to double digits and a value of $7 million in less than three years. Besides that, Leslie fell in love with Tennessee and moved there in 2020. She quickly founded two sister companies; a property acquisition company, Invest in the Smoky Mountains, and Josh’s Cabins Management, a full-service property management company. Her one-stop shop allows out-of-state investors an opportunity to create passive income by offering concierge-style service to guests without the hassle of self-management.

She travels extensively throughout the United States as a highly sought-after motivational speaker focusing on the incredibly lucrative short-term rental asset class. Recognizing the lack of women real estate investors, Leslie has made it her mission to be a driving force to empower women to begin real estate investing. She aims to empower 1,000 women to become millionaires by investing in short-term rentals. She has been featured on ABC, NBC, Fox, and CBS networks. In addition, she is a popular guest on highly rated real estate podcasts and most recently was highlighted by the Tennessee Department of Tourism Board. In 2023, Leslie co-authored the best-selling book Hospitable Hosts 2 and was accepted to Forbes Business Council.

If you missed that show you’ll need to go back and listen to it but the main message was that you need to prepare incase something is happening or is gonna happen. The fact is we don’t know what’s coming but the talk everyone here’s isn’t good. When that happens you need to run the drill like we talked about last week and touch again this week.

Those that are successful long term are the ones that can create routine and have the discipline to get up day in / day out and do what needs to be done.

It doesn’t always happen but sometimes the people we trust to complete our real estate transactions miss a thing or two. It can be a simple mistake that got overlooked and is easy to fix or it can be a major issue that needs to be corrected before you sign the paperwork. The problem with this is that we trust the professionals to do their work correctly the first time so that we don’t run into any problems in the future when we sell our properties. So todays episode is just a reminder that while title companies do a lot of great work, they are just people and can make mistakes. So it’s on us to review our documents and make sure we have everything right before we sign.
