How we Retired Buying and Selling Land

We are the experts at flipping land.

Steve and Jill, the hosts of this podcast, delve into the intricate world of land investment, a venture they have been engaged in since the 1990s. Their extensive experience has not only equipped them with profound insights but has also established them as seasoned professionals in the field.

This episode serves as a comprehensive guide, offering listeners not only inspiration but also actionable strategies to enhance their real estate endeavors.

Takeaways:

  • Steve and Jill have been involved in land buying and reselling since the 1990s, establishing a wealth of experience in the industry.
  • Their data-centric approach enables them to sell land at competitive prices, leading to inquiries from buyers regarding their pricing strategy.
  • Land Academy serves as an educational platform providing essential tools and support for individuals aspiring to enter the land investment business.
  • The hosts emphasize the significance of a predictable monthly cash flow, which they refer to as a ‘land pension’, as part of their retirement strategy.
  • They discuss the concept of infill lots as a form of unrealized gain, which can appreciate over time without immediate tax implications.

No need to hire staff - we did it for you.

Land Academy PRO is the brainchild of founders Steven Jack Butala and Jill DeWit. Designed at the request of Land Academy members who are ready for a higher level, we’re excited to continue to provide the tools and support needed by professional investors.

Each level comes with a preset amount of included data, Concierge Mail service, and postage. For example, the Green level includes 6,000 units of completed-for-you mail completely out the door at no extra cost to you.

All levels include a PatLive introduction and preset script (we will set up your phone answering for you), use of Land Academy’s personal Transaction Team to manage your deal flow, an AirTable (CRM) base setup managed by our (and your!) Transaction Coordinator, personal consulting, regular office hours, and includes your Land Academy subscription cost.

If you’re making this a business, Land Academy PRO takes the work off of your plate so you can focus on the things that matter – like running your business.
