The Greatest Investment on Earth,
...is earth! So said Louis Glickman.
My daddy always said, “invest in land - they’re not making any more of it.” This makes great sense, but only if you know how to do it. Today we are going to learn how. Steven Butala and Jill DeWit are going to set us on a path to buying land, and selling for huge consistent profits. They are premier land investors who also teach others how to do it. You can hear their podcast “The Land Academy” podcast on the major platforms or by visiting their website landinvestors.com.
When you own land, there is no rehab cost, no whiny tenants, no insurance bills, no termite damage, no unexpected expenses, just money. You have to buy it right and there will be some effort put into the buying and selling, but the land itself usually doesn’t require your attention, effort, time or dollars.
What if you could snap up vacant lots in your city, or blocks of land just outside of town - in the direction where your town is heading? Learn how to do this and how you can dive deeper.
