Today's Guest: Mark Podolsky Mark, who, armed with only $3,000, gut-wrenching fear, and absolutely no real estate experience, bought his first few parcels of raw land in 2001. Today, Mark is the author of Dirt Rich, the ultimate guide to helping you build a passive income, and owner of Frontier Properties, a very reputable and successful land investing company. He is also the host of two popular podcasts, The Art of Passive Income and The Best Passive Income Model. By focusing on working smart, not hard, he has completed over 5,500 land deals with an average ROI of over 300% on cash flips, and over 1,000% on the deals he sells with financing terms. Highlights From The Show: Mark begins by giving us a little detail on how he got into land investing. He was working as an investment banker in mergers and acquisitions and had a co-worker achieving incredibly high ROI by investing in raw land. Mark couldn't believe the numbers, so he tried it himself. After about 18 months, he was able to exceed his corporate job income and was able to quit in order to invest full-time. I asked Mark to walk us through his investing model. He starts by going to the county treasurer in a particular area and gets the list of everyone who owes back taxes on land. He said that this advertises two things to him: the owner is not emotionally attached to the land and he is financially distressed in some way. Mark then looks at comparable sales, takes the lowest comparable sale, divides by 4, and offers that fraction to the owner of the land. Because this is cash, and better than nothing, 3-5% of the people will accept it. Once bought, Mark wants to make the property cash-flow, just like if he had a rental home, and he usually has guaranteed buyers in the neighbors. If they have no interest in the property, he has an extensive list of buyers and sites to sell it. Mark talked a lot about selling to his buyer's list, so I asked him how you build a list for land. He commented that he has a huge raw land market and explained some of his marketing strategies. He also employs a 90-day return or exchange and 365-day exchange program so it removes the risk for his customers. He then explained how he has automated both the front-end and back-end systems. He says he only has one hour in this business a week when he conducts his team meeting. I asked Mark to lay out what his team looks like. He has an Acquisitions Manager who decides on a market after extensive research, gets the delinquent tax list from the county, and then works with a guy on Fiverr, who Mark says is an “excel ninja.” He scrubs the list and uploads it to The Land Geek's proprietary software LGPASS, which sends out direct mail offers. Then the Intake Manager takes over as the offers come back, to ensure they are actual deals, and to try to negotiate a lower selling price, in addition to the actual closing. The property due diligence is performed by a group in the Philippines associated with an American title company, and then they have ad writers for major selling outlets like Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace. Mark also employs Virtual Assistants (VAs) to work with the Acquisition Manager handling administrative duties. This episode is about so much more than land investing! Mark walks us through his entire process, which is such valuable information for any investor! Join us for this powerful episode of the Just Start Real Estate Podcast!

Mark Podolsky, a.k.a. The Land Geek, joins Jamie to discuss how his world came crashing down during The Great Recession, and how he rebounded to be happier, healthy, and wealthier. Through the adversity of losing half of his income overnight and the ensuing soul-searching process, Mark realized that his view of his self-worth had been tied directly to his ability to make money. In 2008, he was living the life. He had everything he was supposed to want—the huge house, the full-time nanny, etc.--yet he found himself unfulfilled. Now, he sees the pursuit of money as a game, and he has a proven track record of consistently winning this game in a healthy way. Mark is a husband, a father of three, a professional land investor, a financial freedom coach, and owner of Frontier Properties. Tune in as Jamie and Mark discuss:● Mark's personal mission;● what his typical week look like;● what Mark came to realize when he experienced massive personal adversity due to the financial collapse of 2008● Mark had been living a high-profile lifestyle, yet was unfulfilled;● how Mark no longer ties is self-worth to money;● how Mark discovered raw land as an asset class;● one personality trait that is needed to be successful in business;● how he was able to set aside his ego to find true happiness.

Mark Podolsky is a land geek who's been buying and selling land since 2001! He is a man who entered the hustling phase from an early stage of his life – always been a kind of deal junkie growing up. Mark is the owner of Frontier Properties, a reputable and successful land investing company. He is the author of Dirt Rich; the ultimate guide to helping you build a passive income. After a career in investment banking, specializing in mergers and acquisitions by private equity groups, Mark was finally introduced into the land investment niche by a newly employed member of his firm. He has successfully closed over 5,500 land deals with an average ROI of over 300% on cash flips and over 1,000% on the deals he sells with financing terms. Do you want to escape solo-economic dependency? Do you want to work smart, not hard? Stay glued to this episode Investing In Raw Land Raw land is a vacant plot of land without an established building. Raw land investment is a tremendously viable market and opportunity that a million people can get into. The truth is, no one knows the value of their land; you just have to understand how to invest in land properly like a real estate developer. This investment could produce passive income and a large profit margin without YOU breaking a sweat or breaking the bank. Flipping Of Land; Buying and Selling Land flipping is known to be one of the most popular methods of land investment. The process is quite straightforward; you buy a parcel of land at a low cost and sell for a higher price. Yes! It's that simple. You have to change your directions to generate large profits in this investment niche. You need to get the proper property entitlements to add marketability – entitlement could include doing the work to get the property cleared for development, getting property zoned or rezoned, and the permit for builders before and after land acquisition. This adds value to the property, which in turn generates more income. When this is done and your land acquisition offer is accepted, you need to do more research – this includes things like; is the does it have back taxes? Are there any breaks in the title? What are the restrictions? What's compelling about the property? What's the access like? After you do your research and get your marketing strategy in place, you can go ahead and sell to the best buyers; the best buyer in this situation is the neighbors. You can get in touch with them and say, “Hey, I have a great opportunity you don't want to miss. It's an opportunity for you to protect your privacy; protect your view and get to know your neighbor”. Often, the neighbor buys the property, but if they pass, you can take your market online – we all know how effective social media is these days! There are helpful sites and platforms everywhere. You just have to go where the market is. Some of them include: Craigslist Meta; Facebook You can also use land sites, including – landmodo.com, landsofamerica.com, landflip.com, and many more! Now that this is settled, it's time for you to start flipping. The competition is stiff, but all you need to do is make your offer irresistible to buyers. An example of a way to go about this is to go with the down-payment method – you could ask your prospective buyer for the down-payment of the exact amount you closed the deal with. With this method, you are already safe because you've got back your investment capital. You can then proceed with the proper documentation and research, which would add value to the property and save the prospective buyer time, cost, and risk since every aspect is already settled. Your prospective clients include; People that need land for recreational purposes. People preparing for the worst or hoping for the best. People that do not like people. People in the military. This is an investment opportunity you shouldn't miss! It's a known fact that no one knows the value of their land. You can take advantage of this lapse as an investor. As they say, “LAND IS THE ONLY THING THAT LASTS!” You will actually run out of money before running out of deal flow. Funny, right? But it's true! Mistakes People Make In Land Investment It's hard to make mistakes in this niche of investment, but the common mistakes include: Purchasing a property where there's an environmental issue – trust me, you don't want to do that! Buying just a piece of land – you don't want to stop with just a piece of land. It will definitely slow down your income rate. You need to keep the deals moving! Here Is Something For You To Reflect On! To be successful in any form of investment, YOU NEED TO: Get your time back; don't get exhausted by packing yourself up with loads of business. You need to pick the one you're good at and FOCUS. Get that time back! Get rid of “the superman syndrome” – thinking that only you will do a great job with each part of your business. It's just not true!

And then I get passive income every single month. And I don't have to deal with any renters, rehabs, renovations or rodents." - Mark Podolsky "It's a simple game. All we want to do is create enough of these land notes where our passive income now exceeds our fixed expenses. And we're working because we want to, not because we have to." - Mark Podolsky "I had already done so many transactions that it was really easy for me to sort of articulate everything. In the beginning, I would just teach people how to do what I do. And then as they started gaining success, then they start telling people, oh, my gosh, this thing works. And then it starts to snowball from there." - Mark Podolsky "You don't want to buy land with an environmental issue. If you do, you could be liable for millions of dollars of cleanup. To avoid that, you just go to epa.gov. You look up Superfund sites, and you avoid them." - Mark Podolsky "I would say don't be a land snob. Just because you don't like that land doesn't mean someone else wouldn't, so you buy any asset 30 cents a dollar, here's someone else on the other end of that deal." - Mark Podolsky "Because our margins average 300 to 1,000%, I never recommend anybody taking an equity partner. If they need capital, take a debt partner, get as much money as you can, 2%, 5%, 10%, 12%, 16%, it really becomes irrelevant at those margins. If you've got friends who are making 0% of the money in the bank, help them out." - Mark Podolsky "To scale anything, you need a team [Virtual assistants]. Because otherwise you just have a job." - Mark Podolsky "It's really just about deepening relationships on 'terminal days'. I want to spend time with the people I love. And if there's somebody I've been neglecting, maybe I'll call them. And so that's really what I like to do because at the end of our lives it's really about the quality of relationships." - Mark Podolsky "Now I've avoided financial insecurity. And I think that's really what we wanted to do. For example, the stock market goes up; it goes down, you constantly sort of feel financially insecure. With real estate and cash flow, you avoid that. Not that real estate can't go down. But it's not nearly as volatile as a stock market." - Mark Podolsky FREE course Double your money in 30 days or less.

Mark Podolsky is the CEO and founder of The Land Geek, the foremost authority on buying and selling raw land in the US. As an investment banker, Mark dreaded work. He found himself miserable and micromanaged in the reality of his solo economic dependency. So. with $3000, in the early 2000s, he bought his first parcels of raw land. Now, in addition to The Land Geek, Mark owns Frontier Properties, a firm that has created a unique asset class of investing in raw land. He is also the founder of geekpay.io, the author of Dirt Rich: How One Ambitiously Lazy Geek Created Passive Income in Real Estate Without Renters, Renovations, and Rehabs, and the host of The Art of Passive Income podcast.

His investment model begins with taking the lowest estimated value of a plot of land and dividing that number by four. The quotient becomes his initial offer amount to the potential seller. Mark believes that any model of creating wealth should be scalable. Following advice from a particularly successful entrepreneur, Mark learned to make his business self-sufficient through building systems and teams that kept the gears turning when he couldn't.

In this episode, I am excited to interview Mark Podolsky, who, armed with only $3,000, gut-wrenching fear, and absolutely no real estate experience, bought his first few parcels of raw land in 2001. Today, Mark is the author of Dirt Rich, the ultimate guide to helping you build a passive income, and owner of Frontier Properties, a very reputable and successful land investing company. He is also the host of two popular podcasts, The Art of Passive Income and The Best Passive Income Model. By focusing on working smart, not hard, he has completed over 5,500 land deals with an average ROI of over 300% on cash flips, and over 1,000% on the deals he sells with financing terms. Mark begins by giving us a little detail on how he got into land investing. He was working as an investment banker in mergers and acquisitions and had a co-worker achieving incredibly high ROI by investing in raw land. Mark couldn't believe the numbers, so he tried it himself. After about 18 months, he was able to exceed his corporate job income and was able to quit in order to invest full-time. I asked Mark to walk us through his investing model. He starts by going to the county treasurer in a particular area and gets the list of everyone who owes back taxes on land. He said that this advertises two things to him: the owner is not emotionally attached to the land and he is financially distressed in some way. Mark then looks at comparable sales, takes the lowest comparable sale, divides by 4, and offers that fraction to the owner of the land. Because this is cash, and better than nothing, 3-5% of the people will accept it. Once bought, Mark wants to make the property cash-flow, just like if he had a rental home, and he has a usually has guaranteed buyers in the neighbors. If they have no interest in the property, he has an extensive list of buyers and sites to sell it. Mark talked a lot about selling to his buyer's list, so I asked him how you build a list for land. He commented that he has a huge market for raw land and he explained some of his marketing strategies. He also employs a 90-day return or exchange and 365-day exchange program so it removes the risk for his customers. He then explained how he has automated both the front-end and back-end systems. He says he only has one hour in this business a week when he conducts his team meeting. I asked Mark to lay out what his team looks like. He has an Acquisitions Manager who decides on a market after extensive research, gets the delinquent tax list from the county, and then who works with a guy on Fiverr, who Mark says is an “excel ninja.” He scrubs the list and uploads it to The Land Geek's proprietary software LGPASS, which sends out direct mail offers. Then the Intake Manager takes over as the offers come back, to ensure they are actual deals, and to try to negotiate a lower selling price, in addition to the actual closing. The property due diligence is performed by a group in the Philipines associated with an American title company, and then they have ad writers for the major selling outlets like Craiglist and Facebook Marketplace. Mark also employs Virtual Assistants (VAs) to work with the Acquisition Manager handling administrative duties. This episode is about so much more than land investing!

Are you working because you want to or because you have to? Most people are trapped in a state of solo-economic-dependency. In other words, income stops as soon as you stop working. But there is more than one way to solve this stress-inducing problem. Mark had a high-stress, soulless corporate job, and felt trapped in a state of solo-economic-dependency. He was always focused on material things: a bigger house or a fancier car . . . until he lost it all during the Financial crisis of 2008. After losing all these material possessions, Mark reconnected with his family but was stuck with little or no time. This made him realize that true freedom is only possible with passive income. "Having true freedom and wealth means that when you wake up on Monday and you don't have to be anywhere. Time wealth - Being able to work when you want, where you want, with whom you want." – Mark Podolsky Mark went on to perfect the art of buying raw, untouched land. By focusing on working smart, not hard, he completed over 5,500 land deals with an average ROI of over 300%. Today, Mark is the author of Dirt Rich, owner of Frontier Properties, and founder of The Land Geek.  On this episode of the #IAmMovement podcast, Mark and I discuss a key component in getting out of the ‘rat race’, why happiness is more than just a paycheck and how even the smallest labels we give ourselves and others can have a huge effect.

I’m your host, property management growth expert, Jason Hull, the founder and CEO of DoorGrow. Now, let’s get into the show. Today, I am hanging out with Mark Podolsky. Mark, welcome to the show. I’m going to read your bio here because we want to qualify you and then we’ll let you brag a little bit because you got to do a little bit of starting out here. Today’s topic (for those who are just tuning in) is land investing for passive income. We’re going to learn how to use land investing to create a passive income stream. Mark J. Podolsky (AKA The Land Geek), is widely considered the country’s most trusted and foremost authority on buying and selling raw, undeveloped land within the United States for almost two decades. Mark has been actively investing in real estate and raw land and has completed over 5000 unique transactions. Mark’s company, Frontier Equity Properties, LLC, is an A+ rated Better Business Bureau real estate company. Mark has achieved this level of success largely due to his core business philosophy, happy customers guaranteed. Mark is the host of one of the top-rated podcasts in the Investing Category on iTunes, aptly titled The Best Passive Income Model and The Art of Passive Income. He is also the host of The Land Geek podcast: Work Smart. Earn More. Learn How. Mark, there you go. Give us a little bit of background on you and how you got into this land investing. Mark: Let’s rewind to 2000 and imagine me fighting traffic, 45 minutes in the car there and back, micromanaged, stressed out at an investment banking job, working with private equity groups specializing in mergers and acquisitions. Jason, it got so bad for me that I wouldn’t get the Sunday blues anticipating Monday coming around. I’d get the Friday blues anticipating the weekend going by really fast and heading back to work on Monday. My firm hired this guy and he’s telling me that as a side hustle, he’s going to tax deed auctions, he’s buying up raw land pennies on the dollar, he’s flipping them online, and he’s making a 300% return on his investment. Jason, I’m looking at companies all day long and a great company has 15% EBITDA margins or free cash flow. Great company. Average company is 10%. I’m looking at companies all day long, less than 10%. Of course, I’ll believe him. We go to New Mexico. I do exactly what he tells me to do. I’ve got $3000 saved up for car repairs so I can only buy $3000 worth of land. I buy 10 half-acre parcels, an average price of $300 each. I put them up all online and they all sell 30 days later from an average price of $1200 each. It worked. 300%. I took all that money, I went to another auction in Arizona (which is where I live) and again, it’s 2000. There’s no one in the room, there’s no competition, I’m buying up lots, I’m buying up acres for nothing. Over the next six months, I sold all that property and I made over $90,000 cash. I go to my wife, and she’s pregnant. I said, “Honey, I’m going to quit my job. I’m going to become a full-time land investor.” She says, “Absolutely not.” So I worked land investing part-time and it took 18 months for the land investing income to exceed the investment banking income and then, I quit. I’ve been doing it full-time ever since. Jason: It’s so easy, anybody can do it? Mark: Yeah, I wish. I wish it was so easy. It’s a simple model but anything worth doing in life is not easy. What I could do is I could walk you through the model and then, odds are you’ll just stop the podcast and quit doing what you’re doing and start land investing with me, but that’s okay. That happens a lot. You want me to walk you through it? Jason: Yeah. Mark: Jason, where do you live? Jason: I’m in Santa Clarita, California. Mark: Okay. Let’s imagine that you own 10 acres of land in Texas. I go to the county treasurer and I get a list of people that owe back taxes. Sure enough, there’s Jason Hull in Santa Clarita, California, $200 in back taxes on this 10-acre parcel. Jason, you’re advertising two things to me. Number one, you have no emotional attachment to that raw land. You’re in California. The property is located in Texas. Number two, you’re distressed financially in some way. Because when we don’t pay for things, we don’t value them in the same way. And you haven’t paid your property taxes. As a result, the county treasure keeps sending you notices saying that, “Jason, if you don’t pay your taxes, you’re eventually going to lose your 10 acres to a tax deed or tax lien investor. What I will do is I would look at the comparable sales on that 10-acre parcel. I’m going to take the lowest CUP and I’m going to divide by four. That’s going to get me what Warren Buffett calls a 300% margin of safety. I’m going to actually send you an offer of $2500 on that 10-acre parcel assuming that the lowest CUP is $10,000. I send you an offer for $2500. Now, you accept it because for you, $2500 is better than nothing and you haven’t gone out to look at the property. You just don’t care about it anymore. In reality, 3%-5% of people accept my “top dollar offer.” Now that you’ve accepted the offer, I’ve got to go through due diligence or in-depth research. Number one, I got to confirm you still own the property. Number two, I have to confirm the back taxes are only $200. Number three, I have to make sure there have been no breaks in the chain of title. Number four, I have to make sure there are no liens or encumbrances. I have this whole property checklist and it goes on and on and on. If it’s a property deal that’s worth less than $5000, I’ll actually close it directly with my team in the Philippines. We’re hooked up to an American title company. I pay $11 for due diligence. They’ll give me a whole property report. I’ll get the GIS maps, the plat maps, aerial maps. If it’s an area I don’t know, I’ll have somebody go out there, stamp on the property for me, take a video and shoot photos throughout the property checklist. What are the neighbors doing out there, what’s the road like, all these things. Everything checks out and now, I buy the property from you for $2500. You get $2300 of it, $200 goes to the treasurer, and now I have that property free and clear. I’m going to sell this property 30 days or less. The reason I’m going to do this is I have a built-in best buyer. Do you know who it is? Jason: No. Mark: The neighbors. I’m going to sell that to the neighbour saying, “Hey, here’s your opportunity. Protect your privacy, protect your views, expand your holdings, know your neighbour.” Oftentimes, the neighbors will buy it. If they pass, I’ll go to my buyers list. If my buyers list passes, I’ll go to a little website you might not have heard of called Craigslist (10th most traffic website in the United States). I’ll go to an even smaller one. It’s called Facebook buy-and-sell group and marketplace. And then, I’ll go to these platforms that specialize in buying and selling raw land, landmodo.com, landandfarm.com, landsofamerica.com, landflip.com. It goes on and on. Now, the way I’m going to sell it is I’m going to make it irresistible. I’m going to ask for a $2500 down payment. I get my money out on the down, within (let’s say) six months of that. I’m going to get a car payment, let’s say $449 a month, 9% interest over the next 84 months. Essentially, I’ve got a one-time sale, I have passive income of $449 a month, 9% interest over the next 84 months, no renters, no rehabs, no renovations, no rodents. And because I’m not dealing with a tenant, I’m exempt from Dodd-Frank, RESPA, and the SAFE act (this onerous real estate legislation). The game that we play is can we create enough of this land notes where our passive income exceeds our fixed expenses and then we’re working because we want to, not because we have to. The beautiful part about all of this is 90% of it is automated with software virtual assistants. It’s great. Jason: What is the price point of fixed expenses typically? Mark: For most people, after you earn about $10,000 a month in passive income (that’s $120,000 a year), you’re in pretty good shape. Now, we have some clients who are doctors and lawyers. I have a client. He’s been working with us for 10 months. He’s at $15,000 a month passive and he just went from 5 days a week at his law firm to 2 days a week and he’s spending the rest of his time with his dad who needs help working with him and the other two days doing what he wants to do. We have so many clients that once they hit that point, they retire their spouse. They quit their job. They do what they really want to do in life because the whole idea of this is that we can always make more money but we can’t get more time. For me, true wealth means you wake up and you don’t have to be anywhere. You work where you want, when you want, and with whom you want. That’s really the goal of doing all this. Jason: Love that. What else do people typically ask you about this? When you say it, it sounds really easy. It sounds like something that maybe anybody can do, but it’s like starting a part-time job if you start getting into this. Mark: It is. It is an operating entity. We ask our clients to spend about an hour or two a day doing this. That will move the needle because with our virtual assistants and our software, it’s pretty automated. We actually have automation software for marketing. We can automate our craigslist and our Facebook postings with a posting automator. The only two things that (as CEO of your land investing business) you, Jason, actually have to do, is county research because if you get that screwed up, that whole thing falls off the rails, so you have to pick a good county. From there, you’re going to make sure that you get your pricing right, so you might want to work with a VA, train them, and show them, “Hey, look. Here’s our lowest comps dividing by four. We need a response rate of 3%-5%. If it’s under 3%, our offer is too low. If it’s over 5%, let’s get nervous. Why are they selling us their property? We might have to renegotiate.” We have our metrics in there.  As far as the rest of the process, you can get virtual assistants to do our due diligence. You can get an intake manager that can actually talk to your sellers (because that’s a big time-suck as well). From there, you can close. We like to use Simplifile accountings, so that we can record our deeds online, so I don’t have to go and do a lot of whole paperwork that way. Once we own it, again, we have an inexpensive virtual assistant getting us through GIS, all the neighbors information, uploading that to our software, sending out our neighbor letters. There’s an API with lob.com, which does our mailings. On the backend of it, we use a software called GeekPay.io that is a set-it-and-forget-it system on collecting our money. We get our down payment via credit card and then we get our monthly payments via ACH. It does all the amortization. It does all the calculations. It charges fees but it does it through notifications. If that ACH bounces, it will charge the credit card on file. We went from an 8% default rate to a 4% default rate. I personally worked two hours a week in Frontier Properties, doing the kind of volume that we do. Jason: Sounds great. That’s pretty incredible. How hard is it for somebody to get started with this that’s new? Mark: It’s like anything in life. Everything is hard in the beginning. You know what’s really hard, Jason? Learning to read. We don’t remember it. We forgot how hard that was in the very beginning but you had a good teacher, they broke it down for you step-by-step, and you are with other people. It was just a thing, like everyone can do this and you’re just expected to do it. It’s the same kind of thing. What happens is we’re so ingrained after all these years of schooling that you have to achieve what you achieve, to go back and embrace beginner’s mind and embrace the suck. It’s hard. If you can do that, if you can be comfortable being uncomfortable and you have some grit, you can be successful in anything in life, whether it’s my land investing niche or growing your doors. It doesn’t matter. Nothing worth doing is easy. Jason: It sure is nothing worth doing is easy. The challenge is if somebody is going to choose into doing this, choose into doing property management, or choose into doing any business, they have to fall in love with this. They have to get excited about this. Help the listeners understand what do you love about doing this? Your clients that get involved in this, what do they love about it that’s different from other entrepreneurial ventures that they get into? Mark: The main reason that people like this model is number one, there’s no physical inventory. Number two, there’s little to no competition. If you go on HGTV or the DIY Network, you’re not going to ever see me on Flip This Land. The before pictures is raw land, the after pictures is raw land. It’s not going to be much fun to watch me in front of a computer. If you go to [...] meeting and there are 100 people in that room, 99 of them are house flippers, landlords, or wholesalers. You and I are the only land guys. Number three, you have an inefficient market. I’ve got a hedge fund manager that loves this business because he’s like, “Mark, there are very few inefficient markets left out there. Nobody knows the value of raw land.” Now, that can be very frustrating in the beginning, but it’s also very exciting once you get your arms around it.  No physical inventory, no competition, inefficient, and then you have the fact that it’s a one-time sale and then the passive income versus let’s say I flip a house. I make $20,000 on a flip. I have a new problem. What do I do with my $20,000? I can’t put it in the bank. It’s not going to earn anything. I have to keep redeploying that capital. Once we get to let’s say $10,000 a month of passive income, what our net worth? How long would it take you to have an investment of $120,000 a year at say 2% interest in the bank? That’s over $3 million you and I would have to save. How long, Jason, would it take for you to save $3 million? How long would it take anybody to save $3 million? Jason: I probably would never do it. Mark: Yeah. 12-36 months, you can have that kind of cash flow and then your bankers are really happy with you because your net worth is over $3 million. The fact that—I’m not proud of it—I can’t even screw in a light bulb. I tried to flip a house once. I am not interested in physical things so the subs come out there. I meet the subs. They don’t show up. Just the capital outlay, I started with $3000. My buddy, [...], started at $800. You’re not going to ever get knocked out of the game in this niche. The dollars are just too small. If you go into multifamily housing, you do one bad deal and you’re done for 10 years. You’re BK or you’re just a pariah in the investment community because you lost all your investors money. This is not like that at all. You have an easy entry point, you have no physical inventory, you have no competition. You have a one-time sale on passive income. You have an inefficient market. There’s nothing not to like about it. I think what’s interesting is if you go to a party and you tell people you’re a land investor, they’ll yawn. It’s not sexy. Definitely not sexy. Maybe you lie and say you’re in multifamily housing. Jason: I don’t know if that’s super sexy sometimes either, but yeah. Mark: I mean it depends who you’re talking to. Jason: How do people get started in this? It sounds interesting. My interest is piqued. I’m sure some people listening are interested. How do they get started with this because I’m sure there’s a fairly steep learning curve? There’s got to be a reason why everybody isn’t doing it. How saturated is this? Mark: It’s not saturated at all because again, it’s just not sexy. It’s not conventional. The marketing budgets of the people that are in the house flipping world like Robert Kiyosaki or FortuneBuilders, that’s really where people thought to. Land investing, you have a mental hurdle for people where they think, “Well, I’ve never bought land.” We all know everyone needs a place to live. Nobody needs raw land. You don’t wake up today and say, “Boy, I really got to own 10 acres today.” Jason: That land that nobody is using and nobody seems to want. That land. Mark: Right. It’s a marketing business. You have to interrupt somebody’s day, pique their interest, and make it irresistible. I’ll tell you, after over 5200 deals, I’ve never been stuck with a piece of land. You buy any asset, 25–30 cents on the dollar, there’s someone else on the other end of that deal. Whether it be a piece of land, a car, a trinket, it doesn’t matter. The market is the market. So to get started, I would say you’ve got to learn from somebody who’s done in. For example, let’s say you and I are going to go to Mount Everest together. We’re going to climb this big mountain. Jason: We’re not just going to wing it. Mark: Yeah. You’re going to someone who’s done it a million times and they can tell you the best routes quickly, efficiently, and safely to do it. That’s what you want to do. You can start with that. In fact, for the listeners, I would say that I have a $97 course that I’d love to offer them for free. If they just go to thelandgeek.com/launchkit, they can go ahead and get that course for free. Start there and then see if they like it or not. Jason: Their time investment is 1-2 hours a day? Mark: If that, yeah. It depends if they’re using tools or not. It also depends if they have a scarcity mentality or abundance mentality. A lot of people, when they start doing this, they think they can penny-pinch their way to wealth. They don’t want to use the tools that are out there.  Jason: “No, I’ll do it myself. I’ll watch 120 Youtube videos and figure out how to do it myself.” Mark: Yeah, and you can do that. But again, my whole philosophy is that I can always make more money. I can’t get more time. So, anything that’ll save you time, I’ll invest in. Jason: I say something very similar to my clients. That makes sense. Anything else anybody should know before we wrap this up and how can they get in touch with you? Mark: If you have that mindset that Zig Ziglar says, “If you'll do for the next 3–5 years what other people won't do, you’ll be able to do for the rest of your life what other people can’t do.” You’ve got to get your reps in and you have to embrace the suck. Again, nothing worth doing in life is easy. It might be a simple model, but it’s not easy. You have to take action at some point  Again, the best way to get a hold of me is thelandgeek.com. I’ve got an audio book. I’ve got a book on Amazon called Dirt Rich if you want to just read about it and hear my story as well. It got really good reviews. People seem to like it. It’s not because I’m such a good writer. It’s just that they like it. Jason: Nice. Perfect. Look for the book, Dirt Rich, or check out thelandgeek.com. Mark, this is interesting. I think it’s a new idea that people certainly haven’t heard of this before on the DoorGrow Show. I appreciate you coming on and hanging out here with me. Mark: Jason, thank you so much. Again, I apologize if you’re just going to quit your business and go [...] with me. Jason: I love what I do so. Mark: See? There you go. You can do both. Jason: Both. All right. Maybe I’ll get a few people from this show that are wanting to do both. There you go. Mark, thanks again for coming on the show. We’ll let you go. Mark: Thanks, Jason. I appreciate it. Jason: If you are a property management entrepreneur and you enjoy the show, be sure to like and subscribe. If you’re watching this on Youtube or on Facebook, be sure to share it if you would.

Armed with only $3,000, gut-wrenching fear, and absolutely no real estate experience… Mark bought his first few parcels of raw land in 2001. Today Mark is the owner of Frontier Properties, a very reputable and successful land investing company, and has been buying and selling land full time since 2001. By focusing on working smart, not hard, he has completed over 5,000 land deals with an average ROI of over 300% on cash flips, and over 1,000% on the deals he sells with financing terms. Prior to his land investing success, Mark had a high-stress, soulless corporate job, and felt trapped in a state of solo-economic-dependency (i.e. his income stopped as soon as he stopped working). Escaping solo-economic dependency changed Mark’s life in so many positive ways that he decided to teach, coach and mentor others to help them achieve their financial goals. Even though Mark invests a lot of his time helping others, he stays actively involved in running his land investing business, and is dedicated to teaching the most current and relevant “real world” land investing methods to his students. In this show Mark shares with us: - How he has created automation and systems to run his business so his business doesn't run him. - The value of delegation and how he does it. - How to create passive income by investing in raw land, and exactly how he does it.

Today we have the Land Geek, Mark Podolski from Scottsdale, Arizona! After being a very unhappy investment banker, Mark decided to take a shot at land investing. To date, Mark has done over 5,000 land deals through his company Frontier Properties! Today, Mark's company is 90 percent automated allowing him to work two hours week and he also spends time teaching others how to create passive income through land investing If you're interested in dabbling in land investing then you definitely want to check out today's episode!

Back in October 2015, Jason Hartman joined Mark Podolsky on his podcast, The Best Passive Income Model Show, to discuss real estate investing. They delved into leverage, a few of his 10 Commandments, and the importance of setting up a system. Mark first bought raw land in 2001, which helped him escape his high-stress, soulless corporate job. He now owns Frontier Properties and has completed over 5,000 land deals, with an average ROI of over 300% on cash flips and 1,000% on deals with financing. Website: www.thelandgeek.com/jason-hartman www.voxer.com

In 2001, Frontier Properties founder Mark Podolsky was an Investment banker with a crazy high-pressure lifestyle in Phoenix. Like several of his colleagues, Mark liked the idea of investing in real estate. So the next time he earned a commission check, Mark went down to a tax sale auction at the county. He ended up buying a property with a commission from a big deal… and what’s more, Mark put everything he had into buying land in New Mexico. “My wife thought I was crazy, he says, but I told her, ‘at least we own land.”Sure enough, Mark was able to sell all his New Mexico property at a profit. Even better, Mark was soon able to quit his job to go into the real estate business full-time. Mark shares with us the steps he took to get to where he is today in having completed more than 5,000+ land transactions. Also, Mark walks us through a few of his most recent land acquisitions and speaks specifically to the step by step process of how he’s built his business.   In this interview with Mark you’re going to learn:         How to buy raw vacant land in desirable areas for 10-20 cents on the dollar          The reasons why sellers will let their land go for so cheap         How he's been able to consistently get returns as high as 1,000% and won't even consider a deal unless he's set to make a minimum return of 300%         How you can truly get started in this niche with very little money - seriously, this isn't BS.          How to find the best end buyers for your raw land deals          The biggest challenges with this strategy          Why he offers easy no qualifying seller financing          How he does all of his due diligence from his home in AZ and never visits a property in person            And much more
