@Dave Denniston That there's "always" a buyer. Then a friend appraiser told me "some dirt is meant to just hold the earth together " meaning some land has no value

In our 5th year now. Time flies! 400+ transactions (puts me in the middle I think). The question prompted me to look at our dashboard. JV funded total $13M which flipped to $20M exit. Not all sold yet. JV partners got 65% of the upside. (I don't know how to put a mic drop emoji here)🤣
Did you know you could sell part of a land loan?
Need cash for more deals but don't want to give up the future passive income? There's a way to do this. It's called hypothecating a note or "selling a partial". I'll buy the next 12 payments of your performing secured note and give you 10 payments up front. You get cash to deploy and I make a profit next year. I'm patient and you have deal flow. Sometimes that's a match. And you get to keep the remaining years of the note! Open to discuss

Old School Rules
hi - Looking for some pushback here. We've been funding deals for almost 5 years. So, we've seen 1000+ properties and funded 400+. We run a Land Geeks style business (with a great manager/CEO) that hums along with 100 active notes and properties on market. So, we're in the business. We are NOT in the mass mailing, texting, calling business though. My focus here is about underwriting. I'm looking at the way most of us underwrite deals. Like from the laptop I'm typing on here. Land.ID, Pebble, Property Radar, PRYCD, Land Insights, Land Investing Online, a big AirTable system, and other tools in our work. It's not the way I learned to buy and sell real estate. I did that by walking dirt or buildings, talking to County Health Departments, well drillers, looking at traffic patterns, distance to services. I bought properties that others wanted, had real attributes. I didn't comp using a computer with an algorithm that calculate price per acre. I learned to appraise based on taking a base calculation and working through a list of subtractions like noisy corner or settling foundations. The kinds of things that don't show up in a computer profile. So, if I want to buy "quality", how do I find those JV partners? None of the schools I've seen focus on that. Usually it's just eliminating the basics, slope, wet, access. I want to buy dirt that I know someone will LOVE it and achieve their dreams. Not just commodity flipping. Feels like I'm going to start sounding like the old curmudgeon talking about the "good old days". Tell me what I'm missing? I'm almost 70 and 1/2 my life I've been a small real estate investor. We turned over $20 million since we started 4 years ago. I've held a broker license, ran a property management business during the GFC.
