The Land Sharks

Most investors show up to lenders unprepared. Here's how not to. 👇

Every cost mapped out before we ask for a single dollar.

Land. Well. Septic. Driveway. Clearing — all of it budgeted, tracked, and ready to go.

That's how you get taken seriously.

Know your numbers before anyone else does. 💡

💬 Are you tracking budgeted vs actual costs on your deals? YES or NO below.

"I don't have time." Say that again. 👀

Senior year of college. Renovating a rental property. Meeting the woman who would become his wife. And selling 13 houses.

Thirteen. Houses. 🏠

Not "I was thinking about it." Not "I'm getting ready to start." Thirteen actual houses. Closed.

📌 The time excuse is the most expensive one you'll ever make.

You don't need more hours in the day. You need to decide what matters enough to make time for.

Emily used to help paint the rental property. They built it together — while figuring out life at the same time.

There is no perfect moment. There's just right now.

Some of my best land deals ever? I bought them from other land investors. 🤝

Here's the play nobody talks about.

A couple of guys in Colorado would sell land on terms. When buyers stopped paying, they'd take the land back — then sell it to me for what they originally paid. Years later.

🏔️ I'm buying mountain parcels for $2,300. Selling them for $19,000. Financing them out at 12%.

They'd send me the address, the photos, the whole package. I'd plug in the marketing and go.

I bought everything they ever offered me. No questions asked. Only looked at half of it.

That was 2016. Still making money on those deals today.

The deal flow is out there. Sometimes it's not from sellers — it's from other investors who just need a reliable buyer.

Be the person people want to call. 📲

The IRS actually gave land investors a loophole — and most people are leaving money on the table because they don't know about it. 💰

If you're selling raw, unimproved, vacant land on installments — you only pay taxes on what you actually collected that year.

Not the full sale price. Not the whole note. Just what hit your account.

That's the installment sale method. And it's completely legal.

My bookkeeper goes through every single note, every single parcel we're collecting on — and we only report what we received.

This one strategy can save you thousands in taxes every single year.

And if you didn't know about this, share it with a land investor who needs to hear it.

Your first win doesn't have to be huge. It just has to be real.

Once you get that first win — big or small — something shifts.

📍 Picked your market? Win.
📞 Got your first call? Win.
📝 Sent your first offer? Win.

These aren't small things. These are the things that build momentum.

Where your energy goes, it grows. That's not motivation talk — that's how this actually works.

Stop waiting for the big moment. Stack the small ones. The big ones follow.

That's why we share wins on every support call. Because one person's win lights up the whole room.

👇 Drop your most recent win in the comments — no matter how small. Let's stack them up.

The fastest path to results is the one most people skip entirely.

Find someone who already has what you want. Do exactly what they did. Refuse to stop until you get the same outcome.

That's it. That's the whole strategy.

Most people can't do it — not because it's hard, but because it feels too simple. So they tweak it. They question it. They add their own spin before they've even tested the original.

Blind faith in a proven process is not naive. It's the most efficient thing you can do.

Save this the next time you feel the urge to overcomplicate what's already working for someone else.

Broke people have never lost a deal. Think about that. 💀

Billionaires have lost millions. Hundreds of thousands. On single deals.

But broke people? They haven't lost a thing — because they've never risked a thing.

The only people who never fail are the people who never try.

📉 I've done 350+ land deals. I remember the losses way more than the wins. But those wins? They're still paying me.

Use every loss as fuel. The girl that broke your heart in high school? That's fire. Channel it. Go win again.

🔥 The scoreboard doesn't care about your excuses — only your actions.

Drop a 💯 if you've taken a loss but kept going anyway.

Have you ever felt like you're doing everything — and getting nowhere?

You're listening to three podcasts. Watching YouTube every morning. Reading the books. Taking the courses.

And somehow, you're further from results than when you started.

That's not hustle. That's procrastination wearing a productive disguise.

More information is not the problem. More action on one thing is.

Pick a strategy. Work it until it works. Everything else is just noise keeping you comfortable in the research phase.
