Quote from @G. Brian Davis:
Residential rentals can be a pain, between tenants, repairs, and regulations. We’re earning way higher returns on land right now instead.

I once had a professional tenant that took 11 months to remove. When I finally got them out, they had punched through every cabinet door and broke everything they possibly could in the house out of pure spite. All in all I lost $25,000 on them.
I’m sick of the BS. I’m sick of the 3am phone calls about clogged toilets or burnt-out light bulbs. I’m sick of the constant maintenance and repair costs — last year it was a plumbing problem, this year it’s the furnace, next year it’ll be the roof.
Which says nothing of growing anti-landlord regulation in the US.
My partner Deni and I are switching gears to land investing. No tenants, no repairs, no regulation.
And far less competition. With housing prices soaring, we’re looking at lots that cost a few thousand dollars, rather than rental properties that cost a few hundred thousand dollars.
Here’s an awesome case study on how one employee reached financial independence with land and quit his day job within 18 months. He followed a very specific strategy involving delinquent tax sales — if you want to follow the same blueprint check out this land investing course.
Scott earns 100-300% returns on his land investments. No exaggeration. Far cry from the 7-10% that you’re lucky to earn with rental properties!
Have you ever invested in land? What did you learn along the way, and how did it go?
baltimore is a tough market. I know charm city buyers are renovating entire blocks out there. I am in texas and land investing is very great transition. You have many areas in texas, north carolina and arizona that a person can owner finance from you to put a trailer, rv or tiny home structure on. I have a few an hour outside of dallas texas. its a been a much better system. I build new construction as well. so its a balancing act.

Hi,
My name is Dylan and I'm actively looking to purchase my first property (3-4 unit) as an owner occupied house-hack utilizing an FHA loan product in the Phoenix metro area.
I’m already working with a real estate agent but I’d love to connect with lenders/brokers, contractors, and handymen in the area who also invest themselves!
If that’s you, please reach out, thanks!
Do you want to build new construction? There is opportunity there in the phoeniz area for that.
