Land Flipping – Landing page New

There are many ways to construct land flipping deals. The simplest deals involve purchasing a land lot for between 5 – 25% of market value from a non-wanter and selling it at a profit to the right buyer.

However, you can use seller financing to create a passive cash flow with land flipping.

In essence, seller financing allows one to act as a bank by carrying the note of the loan the buyer needs to purchase the property. This option allows the seller to not only collect the principal of the loan, but also all the percentage points of interest associated with carrying the note of record.

Should the seller and the buyer agree to terms, seller financing can grant a larger scope of financial freedom to both parties. Essentially, the buyer can afford a larger debt by paying the seller directly, and the seller assumes all the benefits of added percentage points. Additionally, if the buyer defaults on the loan, the seller can reassume ownership over the property.

When you start your land flipping business, one of the first steps to take is deciding on what type of land you are going to target. This is a critical decision that will determine how you will select counties and, once you have a land lot under contract, how you will market the property to prospective buyers.

There are three types of land that we typically target in our land flipping business:

1. Land in Paths of Growth

Cities grow in fairly predictable ways over time. Large city centers often have their origins around natural resources, geographical features such as ports and harbors, or along established trade routes. 

Over the years, population numbers increase and people from outlying areas start to migrate to the city seeking opportunities. Living space starts to become a scarce commodity, resulting in high competition and falling standards of living.

Naturally, people looking to escape competition for limited space in the city center start to spread into the undeveloped surrounding areas.  Suburbs are quickly established, offering more space and a better quality of life than inner-city living. As those suburbs fill up, new areas are developed to meet the growing demand for housing. As long as the economy continues to thrive in the city center, demand for residential and commercial properties will continue to grow.

This pattern of development presents a great opportunity for land investors. If you can reliably predict where demand for land will emerge, you can identify land that has a low market value, but which has the potential to escalate in value as population growth drives up the demand for housing around an area of growth. 

When you sell your land, you want to find a buyer that will realize the potential of the land to accrue in value due to its proximity to a rapidly developing area. This is how you are able to make profit margins in excess of 100% on land lots in the path of growth.

Identifying corridors of growth and buying the right kind of land in those areas is a skill. You will need to gain an understanding of population dynamics, the macro and microeconomic factors that affect market trends, and choose land lots accordingly. It is these skills, among others, we teach our students when they enroll in the Land Profit Coaching Program.

2. InFill lots

Infill lots can best be described as ‘gaps’ in an already developed area. Think of a city or suburban block that has a home or commercial building on every lot, except for one. 

Infill lots are highly desirable for land flippers because it offers you an opportunity to purchase a vacant lot that may already be zoned for development, making it highly desirable for builders.

When purchasing an infill lot, it’s very important to do your research and find out exactly how the property can be developed. The location, surrounding buildings, and social-economic status of the surrounding area will all have a direct bearing on the market value of the property. 

3. Recreational land

Recreational land can best be described as rural land that has not been zoned for development but has the potential to offer the buyer a unique opportunity to pursue recreational interests, such as camping, fishing, or hiking.

In recent years, we have seen a dramatic surge in demand for recreational land, driven by the Covid-19 pandemic. The implementation of travel restrictions has motivated people to look for domestic recreational opportunities, preferably away from densely populated areas. The RV industry is surging as people look to have a unique outdoor experience. Owning a rural property within driving distance of the city offers people the opportunity to explore the outdoors in a deeply personal way, without having to worry about sharing amenities with other campers.

Flipping recreational land is a great place to get started in land flipping because the parcels tend to be very affordable, and tend to sell quickly if marketed appropriately. 

The Land Profit Generator Method focuses on finding unmotivated sellers who legally own a property that they do not want. Instead of adding value, the unwanted land is likely sitting unused, racking up property taxes, hurting unmotivated seller’s bottom line.

Finding these neglected properties is vital to the flipping system, but there is one catch. By the time a neglected property hits the open market or government auction, it is already too expensive to be worth flipping. Why? Added costs like brokerage fees and auction percentages can potentially inflate prices out of the desired range and lower the margin of profit.

At Land Profit Generator, we teach our students to find properties by accessing the details of land owners in a specific county and sending direct mail campaigns. You can access a list of property owners through a list broker, directly from the county or from a title company .

This distinction in research is of paramount importance to the success of our method.

With the right techniques, a buyer can acquire a tax free property while offering the seller some cash for an asset they deemed worthless.

What is the difference between the assessed value of a property and the market value? This is a very basic distinction but that distinction can heavily impact any deal. How do you find the most profitable lands to flip? The Land Profit Generator Method relies on intentional research, but it is just as important to understand WHICH records should garner the most attention.

With the correct records in hand, the proper research can be applied to the deals which appear most enticing. While in the discovery phase, it is important to be intentional with direct mail campaigns and how to optimize them.

Here are a few critical questions to ask yourself: 

• To whom are the offers being sent? 
• Do they fit the profile from the research?
•  Most importantly where does the land fit in “The Path Of Growth”? 

The simple answer is NO – you do not need to live in the United States to flip land in the USA.

The Land Profit Generator Method is designed to be a 100% virtual business, and therefore you can complete the entire deal making process without ever having to see a property and without having to meet in person with a buyer or seller. 

We have a number of students who have never actually set foot in the USA, but are making 6 and 7-figures in their land lipping businesses. The secret to flipping land from abroad is having the right systems and team in place to automate your business.

The land flipping business model is designed in such a way that you can flip land lots from anywhere in the world.

Absolutely not! Unlike the housing market which is limited by the supply of homes for sale, there is effectively no limit to the amount of land for sale. 

The Land Profit Generator Method is so successful because we use our resources to research and target unmotivated sellers. This strategy allows our students to purchase properties at the lowest possible value, while helping people offload their unwanted land.

The secret to this model is to understand that you can flip American land from anywhere in the world. However, the Land Profit Generator Method ONLY works for land inside the USA. The reason for this is that the USA is one of the only countries in the world where details about who owns property is a matter of public record. If you cannot find out who owns land, it is impossible to reach out to them with a letter of interest. 

The Land Profit Coaching program offers international land flippers the opportunity to work with Master Coaches who have built their land flipping businesses from outside of the USA. If you do not live in the USA or want to operate your land flipping business while you travel,  you have the opportunity to learn exactly how to manage your virtual land flipping business from somebody who has already done it.

Over the past two years, we have seen a dramatic and irreversible change in the nature of work. 

The rapid unfolding of the Third Industrial Revolution has provided the tools needed to enable people to remain highly productive without being tied to a specific location. In 2020, the covid-19 pandemic restrictions resulted in corporations sending their workforces home, forcing a rapid adoption of remote working practices across the world.

Now that the worst of the pandemic is behind us, companies have started recalling their staff to the office. However, the work-from-home model adopted as an emergency measure has become a norm. People have realized that the benefits of working from home far outweigh the pain-points of an office-bound job. Over the past six months, we have seen a new trend emerging, dubbed “The Great Resignation’ by the press. Suddenly, people are more willing to leave their jobs than return to the office.

The shift away from location-based work has opened a plethora of opportunities in the housing market – which has a direct effect on land acquisitions. People’s careers are no longer tied to location. We are, therefore, seeing an increase in semigration. People are choosing to move away from cities, where the cost of living is high and quality of life low, to more rural areas where they can swap their 700 square foot apartment in the city for a three bedroom home in a small town for the same cost, while retaining their salaries. 

Now, more than ever, people are looking for land to build their forever-homes on the outskirts of towns and cities because it allows them to work from the comfort of their home-office.  This unprecedented demand for land is one of the many reasons why The Land Profit Generator market projection looks so enticing for 2022.

Not only does 2022 look strong, but the future appears secure due to market factors such as inflation, interest rates, and the fast-evolving nature of work in the USA will continue to drive demand for land in the years to come.  

Now is the time to begin to identify critical areas to focus energy as a land investor in 2022. The Land Profit Generator Method can maximize profits and scale business to achieve freedom of cash, time, relationships, and purpose in 2022.

With proper research in hand, favorable projections for the near future, and the correct mindset, right now is the ideal time to start making offers on land that is ripe for flipping.

If there is no buyer before going to the open market, then marketing the raw land must become a primary concern. Otherwise, how will potential buyers know how to purchase the land? 

Most land flippers post their properties on a real estate listing site, especially those which specialize in raw land sales. 

In addition to professional real estate platforms, however, there are other avenues like local ads, Facebook Marketplace, or even Craigslist.  These sites are viable options to market real estate if one wants to keep costs to a minimum. There is a risk to using informal sites like these  because they may not be populated with many serious buyers who have the liquid assets to part with $50,000 on a property. 

Finding the right buyers and sellers is a detail-oriented process. With the appropriate amount of research and drive, one can generate as much income as they see fit for their lifestyle.
