Post: Buying a Vacant Lot in An Upscale Neighborhood

@Thomas Fawole As a full-time land investor, I see these "deals" all the time. The issue I see is that you are essentially paying retail for the lot and not leaving yourself with a margin of safety. Vacant land at this price point is negative cash-flowing, taxes and POA fees (if any) along can quickly turn this good deal into a loser. Having a development plan is great, I would get the property under contract and ask for a due diligence period to try to pre-market it to the builders. Good Luck.

@Alan Wolkov I don't know the cost of Flight School, you will need to discuss that with Mark.  Flight School is an online, instructor led program over 8 weeks that gives you the information you need to execute in real time.

I believe that Gold Mastermind is included with Flight School.  That is access to the Land Geek community and access to Mark's weekly recorded Mastermind calls.  I can tell you when I started listening to the Mastermind calls, I was energized!

I also believe that Bootcamp is included in FlightSchool.  Bootcamp is live training over 2.5 days that walks you through this entire business.

Land investing is a simple model, but it's not a simple business.

My suggestion would be to discuss your options with Mark, but I think Flight School would be an incredible program for you as it's weekly training and execution to make sure you succeed.

Hi Alan

I started investing in land in October 2014.  When I started, I was in the same spot as you trying to way to pros and cons of everyone's programs and I choose The Land Geek program.

There are many reasons why I chose Mark, here are a few:

  • He's the one guy that I could tell was still doing deals and lots of them.  Many of the "Guru's" stop doing deals.  I can tell you that Mark is still an active investor and is not just teaching old stuff.  The market is always evolving and Mark is on the Front Lines along with his students.
  • I felt an instant connection to Mark, he truly is concerned about his student's success, not just selling training material.
  • I found Mark's community to be incredible.  They say that products can be copied but culture can not and you will find that Mark's community is the top and they are truly engaged.

So how did it work out for me?  Well, you see, the reason I was interested in Investing in Land was that I was a VP of a Fortune 300 company and I felt my job was at risk.  Following Mark's program, I replaced my executive income in 17 months and 3 days.

In 2015, I completed 68 sales, in 2016, we have already completed 160+ deals and over the summer we closed on a $800,000 bulk deal worth in excess of $3,200,000.  Today I work on my business 1-2 hours per day and earn very nice passive income.

Through this program, I have been great friends with Mark and many in his community and I would highly recommend you talk to Mark about his Flight School Program.  If I were starting over, that is exactly where I would start.

Should you have questions, please feel free to reach out to me.

And if you would like to know more about my story, check out his video testimonial I created for Mark.

Best of Luck on your endeavor!
