  • 132: The Unique Niche of Buying Land in Bulk and Subdivided Flipping with Douglas Smith

    There is a market for people buying land in bulk and then turning around and selling each individual piece at a profit. It's a fundamentally sound business because lands don't depreciate, especially because land does not depreciate. Land assets actually appreciate over time, so the process is simple. Buy land in bulk and sell it at a higher price by adding improvements like roads and utilities. By creating subdivisions where there previously were none, Douglas Smith has built a successful business from this principle. His fund hit on such a solid and unique niche and we just had to have him on the show. As always, Big Mike dissects it all with his high-level breakdown. Watch the episode where he talks about buying land in bulk and a bit of coke to start it all.

  • 131: Leveraging Hard Money Lending and Finding Niche Opportunities with Bill Fairman

    The reason we love hard money lending is that it fills a niche. And when you fill a niche, you're entering a business with limited competition. Bill Fairman is going to share the secret sauce, where you're working with larger companies instead of competing with their rates. This is exactly what Bill and his company Carolina Hard Money did. They stayed to their roots, found a niche, and leveraged the resources of the big players. Not every recipe is going to be perfect. Some lenders have found niches to fund loans that most traditional banks don't or can't fund. There's always that possibility. There are lots of opportunities out there, you have to be a little bit creative. In this episode, we get creative with Bill as he breaks down the possibilities of the lending niche with Big Mike.
