One of the biggest mistakes I see investors make is trying to market to everyone. The truth is, you don't need thousands of random properties to find great deals. You just need the right ones. In this video, I walk you through exactly how I start with a brand-new market and narrow thousands of vacant lots into a small, highly targeted list that actually makes sense to mail.I take you inside my process as I research Marion County, Florida, identify the hottest zip codes, study buyer activity, and use smart filters to eliminate bad properties like wetlands, landlocked lots, corporate-owned parcels, and recently sold listings. We start with more than 3,300 vacant lots and end up with just 263 of the best opportunities worth making offers on. This is the same process I use to work smarter, spend less on marketing, and focus my time where the best deals are most likely to happen.What's Inside: —How I narrow 3,300 vacant lots down to just 263 high-quality opportunities.—The filters I use to eliminate bad properties before mailing.—Why buyer activity tells you exactly where to invest.—How to spend less on direct mail while getting better results.

For 30 years, Derman Kenneth Thomas clocked in at a Georgia zipper plant. Clean record. Wife. Grown kid. Then one night in Ocala, Florida - bored in a motel off the interstate - he opened a hookup app. The girl said she was 14. She told him five times.  He didn't log off. He asked where her parents were.  Chris takes you inside the Marion County sting that put the 55-year-old face-down at midnight, surrounded by tasers and drawn guns just two hours after his first text. The chat logs. The "proof of life" photos. The phone call where Thomas said exactly what he wanted. The Motel 6 pickup plan. Then the interrogation, where Thomas reaches for every excuse in the playbook and keeps landing on one word: he "entertained" it. As if getting caught erases the intent. He turned down a plea deal, gambled on a jury, and lost: guilty on all counts. Ten years in Florida state prison.  Plus: a record 58 arrests in six days, how hookup apps turned kids into a "shopping market.”  Sponsored by: Home Title Lock: Go to https://hometitlelock.com/chrishansen  and use promo code HANSEN to get a FREE title history report and a FREE TRIAL of their Triple Lock Protection!

The story is told that when Perry Ralph switched from horses and started using a tractor to farm, he tied lanterns on the front so he could see as it got dark and was able to farm later into the evening. From lanterns on a tractor to GPS guidance and a grain facility monitored with a cell phone, Ralph Farms has grown and changed with the times, including making time to serve the larger agricultural industry.   In Episode 77, Dusty visits with Mike Ralph, a third generation family farmer in Marion County that understands the value of a mulit-generational family operation, and also the importance of serving. They talk about the family farm and the example set by the previous generation, as well as the important work being done by the Ohio Soybean Council to build soybean demand using check-off dollars.

“I'm not a pedophile.” A sting operation in Florida. A man with nothing left to lose.  Given three to six months to live with the terminal diagnosis. Most people spend that time saying goodbye, making amends, telling the people they love what they mean to them.  58-year-old Darrel Rockwell spent one of those precious days online, searching for sex with a 13- or 14-year-old girl.  In this episode, Chris walks through how Rockwell's online conversations led him directly into the sting operation in Marion County, Florida — and how the encounter ended with Rockwell trying to flee the scene, sinking his own car in the process. It's a hard look at what people do with the time they have left — and why vigilance never gets to take a day off.  Sponsored by: AquaTru: Head to https://AquaTru.com & use code HANSEN for 20% off your purifier and a 30-day best-tasting water guarantee Home Title Lock: Go to https://hometitlelock.com/chrishansen and use promo code HANSEN to get a FREE title history report and a FREE TRIAL of their Triple Lock Protection!

Of all the prisoners who tried to escape from Oregon's state prison, the “yeggs” were most successful — if “successful” is the right word. Their schemes for leaving the jailhouse behind included a tunneling scheme right out of “The Shawshank Redemption.” (Salem, Marion County; 1890s, 1910s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/1207d-safecrackers-were-good-at-jailbreaks.html)

Chris confronts a predator who should have known better—but didn't stop anyway. When 25-year-old Brien Terry is caught in a Marion County sting after pursuing what he believed was a 14-year-old girl, the case quickly reveals something more troubling than a single bad decision: a pattern.  What begins as defiance turns into a tense, psychological unraveling—excuses, contradictions, and ultimately a moment of raw remorse. But as Chris digs deeper into Terry's past, one question lingers: when someone has already faced consequences for crossing this line… why do they come back? A chilling look at repetition, rationalization, and the dangerous mindset of a predator who knew exactly what he was risking—and did it anyway.
