How to Buy & Sell Land (for Zero Down) & Recession Proof your Biz

I want to take the “mystery” out of making money by flipping land without making any improvements to the property and explain our Land Academy membership, how to access to all the tools needed to do this and why we are the experts at buying and selling land and educating others. My partner, Steven “Jack” Butala and I started our land company in 1999 and in 2015 we created Land Academy. Since then, we’ve educated and coached hundreds of individuals and have created a community of elite members.

Sure, there are many moving parts – but here are the 10 basic steps we teach;

1. Select your acquisition criteria (ex. buy 2-10 acres for $30k, sell for $75k+)

2. Start “trolling” the country for areas that show completed sales (ex. TX via Zillow)

3. Run a Red/Yellow/Green zip code test to identify the hot areas within county(s)

4. Collect the BEST, fastest, customizable ownership data available (at Land Academy, we use DataTree and nationwide access is included in our membership)

5. Scrub and price your offers

6. Send mail (details in Land Academy OR use our Concierge Data Services)

7. Field seller calls and signed offers returned via mail

8. Pick the best ones and…

9. LET SOMEONE ELSE BE THE BANK (aka your funding partner) to 100% fund the deal

10. Post for sale yourself or use a land focused agent/broker. You’ll then split the profit however you set up with your funding partner (Example: 50-50 of net proceeds?). Then, simply repeat and don’t stop sending mail/offers!

To recession proof your land business you need to: Only buy GREAT property and pay cash (or use a funding partner). Really dig in on your due diligence, consult with local agents for BPO/local experience. Use your own money or funding partner to pay CASH for all deals, which takes away the stress if it takes a little time to sell and be unbelievably picky to make sure you can’t lose; I turn down more than 75% of the deals I review each week.

This is not our first recession, in fact, my partner S. Jack Butala has been through three. Unfortunately, we watched many of our sweet competitors in the land space disappear in 2009-2010. We’re confident in our methods and have the experience needed to be successful and we want to help and guide you too!

You don’t have to do this alone and spend 10+ years trying to figure it out for yourself and “hope” to catch up to our level. Simply join Land Academy today and we will ALL help you. #thiscommunityrocks
