Jaren has been running his community, called the Land Maverick Society, for the past couple of years. He’s also among the very select few REtipster Certified Coaches, meaning he’s someone I know, like, and trust, and he aligns very well with the REtipster brand. Whenever people ask me where they can find a good coach in the land investing business, Jaren is one of the people I point them to.

Today, Jaren and I will discuss our thoughts on the current state of the market, some of the challenges many land investors have had this year, and, more importantly, why we should all have hope and why it’s not all doom and gloom.

When I started offering seller financing on my properties, I thought I had found the perfect way to generate steady income and sell properties faster. But after years of waiting for borrowers to pay off their loans, I realized one of the biggest drawbacks of selling properties with owner financing: my money was tied up, which hindered my ability to reinvest and grow my business.

It felt like a Catch-22. Seller financing helped me sell properties for higher prices and collect interest, but the slow drip of payments limited my cash flow. I wanted a way to get my money back sooner without losing the benefits of seller financing.

I know I'm not alone in this dilemma, and that's why I wanted to explain when, where, and how a real estate investor can sell their notes. This can unlock the cash we need now rather than waiting for years to collect it.

It's not always the perfect solution, but it can be a great way to get your money back quickly, keep the momentum going, and avoid the headaches of managing loans. In this episode, I’ll explain how it works and the key factors to maximize your returns when selling notes.

We also dive into the potential of industrial outdoor storage, the challenges of building a marketplace for both truckers and parking lot owners, and how real estate investors can get in on this growing trend. Evan shares some great insights about the market, the importance of solving real problems, and how focusing on a clear goal can lead to huge growth.
