Needing Land investing course advice

[Dalton Checketts]

Hello BP,

I am in need for honest no BS advice. I am in the search for a land investing course. I have been all over the internet looking and what’s available out there. I’ve found LandAcademy, The Land Geek, RETipster, Land Flippers, Land Profit Generator so far. Has anyone recently bought any of these courses and applied what what teach, and have you had success or failures? Please give me the good bad and the ugly, I want it all before I commit to anything.

Thanks

Dalton

@Dalton Checketts I have taken @Seth Williams’ REtipster course, so that’s the only one I can speak to from personal experience. I know someone who did Land Geek who thought it was not very well organized, but, again, I haven’t taken that one so can’t comment on it. 

I thought the REtipster course was very well organized and easy to follow. Seth is also pretty responsive to questions. A lot of the information in the course is also available on the blog for free, but the course does a good job of putting it all together in a good order and going into more detail. You also get a lot of templates (postcards, blind offers, purchase agreement, etc). Obviously, there are some things that are state specific, so you’ll want to be sure the templates work for your situation before using, but they are a really helpful starting point. 

As for actual results, I’ll preface it by saying that I’m doing land investing part time, so I’ve probably gone a bit slower than you could depending on how much time and other commitments you have. I have sent mailers to two counties. Got one property under contract, but it ultimately fell through due to title issues (a messy inheritance situation). I am currently under contract to buy another one, which should hopefully close soon. So, I haven’t yet gone through the full buy/sell process, but I am confident that what I’ve learned in the course has prepared me to get through the full transaction. The forum has also been really helpful.

Hope that helps, but if you have questions, feel free to PM me.
