Today, we're going to be talking about how to fund your land deals from a different perspective. Let's talk about it from the perspective of somebody who actually lends money on deals. With all of these licensing laws that are being passed in different states, making it illegal, immoral and fattening to wholesale properties that you don't own yet, it's hard to put them on the MLS. It's hard to get a realtor to help you if you don't own it yet. 

You don't have to use your own money to fund deals. You can use OPM, other people's money. There are a lot of funding companies out there. Here, we’re talking to Logan Swanson about how he actually lends money on deals, what he's looking for, and how he underwrites the deals. We cover how to present a deal to a private lender and the things you need to be aware of. Your goal is to look like you know what you’re doing, and we’ll show you the formula.

I want to talk about the fastest way to a deal, and I don't think you're going to like it. I'll be the first to admit I'm not going to like it either. It’s called the Flap Your Lips method, where you pick up the phone and make some phone calls. Talk to more people. Listen, I can almost guarantee you can do a deal if you talk to five people a day, every day, and you make an offer to every person that you talk to. 

It's a simple thing, right? If you make five offers per weekday and make an offer to every seller you talk to, that's 25 offers a week and 100 offers a month. Maybe you get a deal during those 100 offers. The more you do, the better your chances will be. Here, I’ll tell you how to talk to realtors and give you three things to do if you want to start making more money.

We just did a deal and netted about $21,000. I'm just going to tell you a little bit about it here. We've done a lot of deals. We've been doing this business for a long time, and I wanted to share some things with you to show you how it works. And really, golf's a lot harder than flipping land. I love the game of golf, right? It's always challenging. It's always pushing me to learn and practice. And just like anything, especially real estate, the more you practice, the better you get at it. 

I have a friend named Jeremy who I've wholesaled a lot of houses with, and he handles everything I’m not good at. I’m not good at being on the phone, talking to sellers, negotiating, following up, and doing the sales stuff. I could do it; I just don't enjoy doing it. And when I don't enjoy doing something, I'm not very good at it, right? Here, I’ll talk to you about why it’s important to get really good at the basics. And if you're not good at it, then find somebody else who is.

How would you like to learn how to buy 52 houses in 52 weeks? Here, I have the one and only Dolf de Roos on the show. When I was first getting started in 2006, I saw his book and programs in Walmart.

I met Dolf a few weeks ago at an event at a mastermind, and he is still an active real estate investor today. 

Dolf shares his story and we talk about what he's doing these days. He talks about how he got started in his real estate business and what inspired him to write his book, The Insider's Guide to 52 Homes in 52 Weeks: Acquire Your Real Estate Fortune Today.

Jeremy is a wholesaler here in Saint Louis and we’re talking about a vacant land deal that we just did. We netted about $20,682 in profit and Jeremy is one of the best guys I know in the industry. We’ve done houses together for a long time. Just a few months ago, I started telling Jeremy about land and we decided to do some land deals together in southwest Missouri in the Ozarks. 

Jeremy's a hard money lender and a wholesaler who likes to do the stuff that I don't like to do. He likes to go out and talk to sellers, meet with the sellers, negotiate deals, get them under contract, then flip them and sell them. I'm good at behind-the-scenes stuff. I like to do the marketing, generate the leads, set up the systems, give him the VAs, and all that stuff he doesn't like to do. And then we split the profits. Here, we show you how it’s done.

—Details on a recent successful land deal

Have you ever read one of those hit pieces in the newspaper or online about something going on in the real estate space, or you read an article about some guru? A few weeks ago, I was reading the Wall Street Journal, and I saw this article about an apartment syndicator guru, somebody who invests in apartments and also educates the best people how to do this. I'd recognized his name before, and my heart sank. 

After I was done, I was like, this is almost written like a promotional piece for this guy! I got more excited about investing in apartments. Brad Sumrok is here, and he shares how he got over that hit piece and how he built his multifamily investing empire. Brad walks through how syndication works and what you need to do if you’re interested in this kind of strategy. Brad’s also got a live event coming up at the end of September and he shares all the details.

I recently did a role play with a student who was talking to a seller and wanted some pointers. The property currently has tenants, and the seller wants to evict them. He’s adamant about getting a certain price for the property and so we practiced going back and forth to negotiate and see if we could get an offer together. 

In this example, you’ll see me play the role of the reluctant buyer, which is what you also want to do. You never want to chase a seller and it’s important to ask as many questions of them as possible. Don’t act like a desperate, motivated buyer. Your job is to ask questions and get them to come up with the number first.
