Episode notes
Use Land Deals To Fund Cashflowing Real Assets
- Land development can be a profit engine you convert into recurring cashflow by redeploying proceeds into cash-flowing assets.
- Casey used subdivide profits to buy car washes, industrial buildings, and apartments to create predictable monthly income and tax benefits.
Define A Three Year Cashflow Destination
- Start with a three-year destination question: what has to happen for you to be successful personally and financially?
- Work backward to calculate required passive cashflow and how much annual profit you must convert to cashflow to reach it.
Always Evaluate Highest And Best Use First
- Always evaluate a property's highest and best use before making offers.
- Consider rezoning, industrial or major subdivision options and refer deals outside your niche to specialists rather than forcing a suboptimal plan.
