11 UNUSUAL Ways to Make Money Investing in Land [Beginner Friendly]
48m | Apr 9, 2024Traditional real estate investing often focuses on houses and buildings, but did you know that raw land offers a wealth of unique and lucrative investment opportunities?
Land investment offers incredible flexibility. You can buy, improve, subdivide, develop, or hold for long-term income. With careful research, strategic planning, and a bit of creativity, the possibilities for turning a profit with land are truly vast.
Our bread-and-butter land investment method centers around a quick-turnaround model. We seek out off-market land deals, sometimes make small improvements, and then aim to resell them within a 90-day window.
The key?
Buying at a steep discount (usually at least 50% below anticipated market value) to ensure robust profits.
While our quick-flip method works wonders, it's far from the only way to profit from land. Here's a breakdown of other exciting strategies Heather and I discuss in this episode:
Lot Splitting: Acquire large parcels, subdivide them, and sell the smaller lots for a higher price per acre.
Renewable Energy Projects: Buy land suitable for solar, wind, or battery storage projects.
Seller Financing: Sell the land directly to a buyer and carry the financing yourself.
Commercial Ventures: Explore options like self-storage facilities, RV/boat storage, or recreational businesses like paintball fields or disc golf courses.
Agricultural Ventures: Purchase farmland for lease income or rezoning.
