Tired of fighting over scraps on the MLS? In this throwback episode, Chris Craddock breaks down the step-by-step strategies for finding off-market properties—even if you're starting with zero cash.From tired landlords to dilapidated properties, Chris shares exactly how to identify motivated sellers, how to talk to them, and what to do once you have a potential deal in your hands. The MLS might be dry, but the real deals are out there if you know where to look.In this episode, you'll learn:Why the best deals never hit the MLS—and how to get to them firstHow to spot "money-making" properties on your daily driveThe exact script to use with tired landlords and distressed sellersCreative ways to fund deals without using your own moneyHow to turn every off-market opportunity into either a cash deal or a long-term assetThe secret tax hack every real estate agent needs to know (hint: cost segregation!)Why being resourceful is more powerful than having resourcesConnect with Chris:Instagram: @craddrockFacebook: Chris CraddockJoin Uncommon Real EstateRESOURCES: 

Now and then, you get the chance to pause, look back, and really take stock. And when that moment rolls around, it can be quietly powerful.    That's exactly what this episode is. A milestone. A moment. A celebration.    This year marks 10 years of Farm Owners Academy, and I wanted to sit down with two people who've been there from the start — FOA founder Greg Johnson and our CEO Sam Johnson — and reflect not just on where we've come from, but where we're going.    In this one, we unpack the heart behind FOA, the thinking that shaped the Top Producers Program, and the impact it's had on farming families across Australia and New Zealand.    But more than that, we talk about what truly sets top producers apart — and why, now more than ever, mindset, business acumen, and strategic focus are the critical tools for leading through uncertainty.    Because right now, volatility is the new normal.    Climate, markets, costs — they're all shifting. And that means farming families need a stronger compass and clearer tools than ever before.    In this episode, we explore:  How FOA began, the purpose behind its creation, and the real-world gaps it was built to fill  The 9-step Top Producers Model — and how it's helped thousands build more robust, profitable, and scalable farm businesses  How top producers use entrepreneurial thinking to stay ahead in uncertain times  The power of mindset — and how inner growth creates lasting, external transformation  Real-life examples of families who've doubled their scale, renegotiated better finance, and gained strategic clarity — all within months    So wherever you're at — whether you're in growth, in a rut, or somewhere in between — this episode is an invitation to step up, get clear, and take charge.    Our last Top Producers 2-Day Workshop for the year is happening June 23rd and 24th in Melbourne (or online if you can't be there in person). And I can tell you, it's two days that could completely change the trajectory of your business.    This is your chance to step out of the day-to-day and rebuild from the top down—with the same framework the top 20% of farmers are using to outperform, year after year.    We'll walk you through how to transform your thinking, optimise your business model, and propel your farm forward—with clarity, purpose, and a clear plan in hand.    But here's the truth: you've got to choose it.    Because the best businesses don't happen by chance—they're built by people who make time to grow, who lean in when it's hard, and who say yes when most would sit back.    Get off the tools. Step out of the chaos. And create space to lead with purpose.

As we reset for 2025, many are feeling the weight of a brutal 2024. And to be completely honest — when you're staring down a decile one year, it's hard to know where to start.     How do you budget with confidence? How do you front up to your bank when the season doesn't go your way?    So here is the truth: waiting it out isn't a strategy. Hope isn't a business plan. And if you want to lead your business forward, now is the time to level up how you turn up.    In this episode, I am joined again by Jeff McDonald, Founder & Director of RLS Agribusiness.     Born and bred on an irrigation property in Loxton, SA, Jeff stepped off the farm and into finance, spending 20 years inside a major bank before founding Riverland Lending Services.     Today, Jeff leads one of the largest Agri-finance brokerages in the country. His team settles over $200 million in Agri finance each year, and through RLS Agribusiness, he advises farm businesses on everything from strategy and succession to governance and growth.    Jeff has worked with hundreds of producers, and his insight is gold because it's built on experience and not theory. He knows what banks are really looking for and how the best operators are preparing — strategically, financially, and emotionally — for what's next.    This episode is not about hype. It's about truth. It's about acumen. And it's about how we all step forward, more commercially aware, more proactive, and more in control.    So, here's your call to action:    If you've been flying under the radar... waiting to see how it all plays out... hoping the bank gives you another run  - I hope this episode provides insight into how to take a hard look at your business, forecast with clarity and lead with courage.    Sincerely,   Jeremy Hutchings and the Farm Owners Academy Team    P.S.

In real estate, it's easy to get distracted by flashy opportunities, side projects, or things that seem more exciting than the work in front of us. But here's the truth: every time you divert your attention away from what truly matters, you're sacrificing long-term success. Shelley Cooley knows that feeling all too well. She started as a teacher, transitioned into real estate staging, and ultimately became a successful real estate agent. What made the difference? She stopped focusing on what she wasn't doing and doubled down on what mattered most. Are you spending time on things that truly grow your business, or are you getting caught up in distractions? Do you find yourself avoiding the hard tasks that actually move the needle? What if the real key to success is simply showing up, staying consistent, and prioritizing the work that serves you? The truth is, success isn't about doing everything—it's about doing the right things.  In this episode, team leader of The Cooley Team Shelley Cooley joins me to talk about eliminating distractions, the importance of focusing on the basics, and always tackling the hardest tasks first. We also talk about gratitude and why it matters even in the most difficult situations.   If you don't make certain things a priority, you're only letting yourself down. -Remington Ramsey   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  How to shift towards gratitude Gratitude shifts your focus to what you have, even in tough times. How can shifting your focus to gratitude improve your mindset during challenges? The power of a good morning routine A consistent morning routine sets the tone for a productive and focused day. How can small changes to your morning routine improve your daily performance? The key is consistency Consistency builds momentum and leads to long-term success. How can small daily habits improve your long-term results?   Guest Bio Shelley Cooley is a top-producing Realtor in the Cypress and greater Houston area, and known for her deep knowledge, dedication, and unmatched expertise in the local real estate market. Before making her mark in real estate, Shelley spent 15 years as an educator, eight of those years with Cy-Fair ISD, where she honed her skills in communication, organization, and client care.  In 2009, she made the leap into real estate as a professional home stager, and after obtaining her real estate license in 2016, she never looked back. Since then, Shelley has built an impressive career. She was named Texas Star Realtor in 2021, has been recognized as a Howard Hughes' Top Producer for seven consecutive years, and was Bridgeland's #1 Top Producer in 2023 and 2024.
