Speaker 8: uh rain sleep snow or hell, eyl will deliver. We
Speaker 8: will never let you down. So this is something that's extremely,
Speaker 8: extremely exciting because I feel like we talk about real
Speaker 8: estate a lot, but not a lot of people have,
Speaker 8: you know, the experience that you guys have as far
Speaker 8: as like buying land and like surveying the land and
Speaker 8: developing the land, and that's that's a whole that's a
Speaker 8: whole situation, a whole vibe within itself.
Speaker 3: So I'm excited to have this conversation.
Speaker 8: I know Choy is excited to have this conversation, and
Speaker 8: I'm sure everybody that's in.
Speaker 3: Attendance is excited to have a conversation as well.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm excited to have it. I'm still going through
Speaker 6: a lot of the phases of development. It's a lot
Speaker 6: of planning. It's not a Bilin and then tomorrow you
Speaker 6: got a city, you got a subdivision built. It's a process.
Speaker 6: So I'm really excited to talk with everybody today about
Speaker 6: that process, how they can get started, where they can
Speaker 6: find land, and then of course to answer all of
Speaker 6: the questions that I'm sure folks have. So you know,
Speaker 6: I'm ready to get started.
Speaker 7: Whenever you yeah, I mean, so ask the Flora is yours,
Speaker 7: your co host, and so whenever you feel like you can,
Speaker 7: let me just let.
Speaker 8: Me just let me just get the rundown before she starts.
Speaker 8: So welcome to Welcome to everybody. This is a special
Speaker 8: edition of Euil un University. So what we do once
Speaker 8: a month if you're not familiar, So we have an
Speaker 8: educational platform called Eyo University, which we are honored that
Speaker 8: actually is a member of Eile University, and we do
Speaker 8: weekly webinars on a variety of different topics, so everything
Speaker 8: from cryptocurrency to real estate to pretty.
Speaker 3: Much anything you pick it, and we do.
Speaker 8: We bring experts in the fielding and they do webinars
Speaker 8: and it's a classroom style format, so they teach for
Speaker 8: about a half an hour forty minutes something like that,
Speaker 8: and after that it's question and answer. We open up
Speaker 8: for question answers for like twenty thirty minutes and it's
Speaker 8: really dope. People get a lot of value. It's obviously
Speaker 8: a way more intimate setting than YouTube, and it's a
Speaker 8: way to actually learn and actually interact.
Speaker 3: A difference from the podcast.
Speaker 8: With the podcast is obviously tremendous, but the podcast, somebody's
Speaker 8: like just telling the story and you're listening to it,
Speaker 8: where with the classes you actually get to actually engage
Speaker 8: with the people, ask quesquestions, They have slides, PowerPoint presentation,
Speaker 8: so it's more of a classroom type setting. So once
Speaker 8: once a month we open it up to the public
Speaker 8: on YouTube and this is called our open enrollment. So
Speaker 8: the open enrollment is like you get to just see,
Speaker 8: you know, for yourself, and if you're interested in joining, great,
Speaker 8: If not, then you just get free information.
Speaker 3: So this is this is this will be the last.
Speaker 8: Week of Eyo University for the year because we're taking
Speaker 8: our winter break after this after this week is over.
Speaker 8: But this week we have a class that we have
Speaker 8: orientation for all new members. We have orientation tomorrow at
Speaker 8: seven pm. Just to kind of navigate you through the
Speaker 8: website because what happens is that there's over seventy I
Speaker 8: think there's seventy three past webinars, so they get archives,
Speaker 8: so every single week you get archived on the website
Speaker 8: Euyouniversity dot com. And then we have a Facebook group,
Speaker 8: We have a movie club, we have a book club,
Speaker 8: we have accountability groups.
Speaker 3: So it's a lot of stuff going on.
Speaker 8: So it's kind of hard to navigate, but it's not
Speaker 8: an investment is the actual university. That's why we call
Speaker 8: it Eyo University because we really really want the top
Speaker 8: spot as far as educational platforms like Phoenix University, we
Speaker 8: really want to take them out and become the household
Speaker 8: name when it comes to education. So being that is
Speaker 8: the case, this is actually the last week of Eyo
Speaker 8: University as we know it.
Speaker 3: We're ending. We're ending this part of eyle University.
Speaker 8: We look at it like this is undergrad and starting
Speaker 8: next week, we're going to start our graduate school program.
Speaker 3: The graduate school program, we're getting more organized.
Speaker 8: So we have a professor series where we're bringing in
Speaker 8: the top requested professors that taught classes. So now instead
Speaker 8: of just doing one off classes, they're going to teach
Speaker 8: four classes a year, So once a season they're going
Speaker 8: to teach a class. So Miss Business is going to
Speaker 8: teach about taxes, ash cash, financial literacy, Sabine Purpose Attorney,
Speaker 8: she's going to talk about all legal matters. Brandon Wolfs
Speaker 8: want to talk of about real estate, Quentin Martin is
Speaker 8: going to talk about investing, Kwame Uncle, variety of different
Speaker 8: business topics. And we got the credit through coming in
Speaker 8: and talk about credit. So once once UH semester, once
Speaker 8: every three months, we're going to bring the professor back
Speaker 8: and then we're also we're also going to have a
Speaker 8: trade program, so we're going to have at least one
Speaker 8: class a season for a trade. So that'll be like
Speaker 8: hvac or that'll be flooring, because we understand that, you know,
Speaker 8: you got to learn a variety of different things. You
Speaker 8: just can't learn one particular thing, so h FLAG flooring.
Speaker 8: You know, we'll figure it out, but we're going to
Speaker 8: have one trade class a month, and then we're also
Speaker 8: starting a woman's initiative inside to empower women.
Speaker 3: So it's great, it's great. It's a lot of stuff.
Speaker 8: So I think I got to say shout out to
Speaker 8: our whole entire team. You know, we're really moving forward
Speaker 8: with Janet. We hired our first full time employee.
Speaker 5: Yeah, hold on, can we get some fire moojis in
Speaker 5: the chat for Janet? Can we do that? Because Jen
Speaker 5: is amazing?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Shot, the Janet were now.
Speaker 5: And that's he's our first employee.
Speaker 3: It's a it's a great it's a great story.
Speaker 8: A black woman that was working for Fidelity making making
Speaker 8: a nice amount of money for Fidelity, and she was
Speaker 8: a member of Eyo University and just showed a great initiative.
Speaker 8: So you know, we practiced what we preached, grew economics empowerment.
Speaker 8: We were able to take her from Fidelity, we were
Speaker 8: able to match her pay, and we hire her as
Speaker 8: a full time employee for Eyo University. So we're taking
Speaker 8: this serious. It's not like just a random thing that
Speaker 8: we just put together. Like we really investing a lot
Speaker 8: of money, time and energy into Eyo university and in
Speaker 8: twenty twenty one, we're really, really, really going to make
Speaker 8: a strong, strong push to make it uh the premier
Speaker 8: learning experience for business, not just investing business period, all
Speaker 8: forms of the business. And we really want, you know,
Speaker 8: our thing to be as big as Harvard, Yale or
Speaker 8: any other these institutions. So yeah, so we are running
Speaker 8: a last minute sale being at what I just said.
Speaker 3: We invested a lot of infrastructure, so it's changing.
Speaker 8: So the price is actually doubling starting next week, but
Speaker 8: we're grandfathering anybody that wants to join, So now we're
Speaker 8: running a forty percent off core and all of that.
Speaker 8: The price right now forty percent off is forty four
Speaker 8: hundred dollars for the entire year, and everybody that's been
Speaker 8: grandfathered in, like if you paid ninety nine dollars, your
Speaker 8: grandfathered in. So that's the great part is like the
Speaker 8: price only goes up not because we're being greedy, because
Speaker 8: we're actually investing in it.
Speaker 3: We have we're looking to hire two more people.
Speaker 8: Probably in twenty twenty one, so this has turned into
Speaker 8: a whole operation. So if you're interested, the price will
Speaker 8: be doubling next week. But right now it's forty percent
Speaker 8: off with Code Freedom for tonight. I'll put it in
Speaker 8: a chat COLDE Freedom. We'll talk about it more a
Speaker 8: little bit later, but that ground rules. So actually, let's get.
Speaker 5: Hold on shot. What's that?
Speaker 6: Because I like Code Freedom.
Speaker 5: I mean that was super attentioning.
Speaker 7: There's one more thing that you didn't say, man, and
Speaker 7: that is we also are recognizing some of the people
Speaker 7: that are in our community. So we also are handing
Speaker 7: out awards to our top earners, and we actually went
Speaker 7: through that process this week. So I just want to
Speaker 7: give a huge shout out to our top earners. And
Speaker 7: that's people that are just coming into the community and
Speaker 7: just saying like, I want to add value anyway I can.
Speaker 7: I want to add value, and so shout out to
Speaker 7: our top earners. The five people that we are recognized
Speaker 7: this week were Angelo, Tina, Liz McIntosh, and King none
Speaker 7: other than our man, King Arthur Man. So we appreciate
Speaker 7: all that you have done to help grow this community,
Speaker 7: and we look forward to acknowledging and recognizing so many
Speaker 7: more people that are just out here just killing it
Speaker 7: as earners.
Speaker 9: Man.
Speaker 5: We appreciate you greatly for sure.
Speaker 3: So yeah, actually the floor is yours.
Speaker 6: All right, let's run it. I'm super excited, so earners,
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go ahead and share my screen and don't
Speaker 6: talk about me. I probably got a hunt absolpen busy. Okay, Well,
Speaker 6: thank you so much everybody for joining me tonight, for
Speaker 6: building intentionally how to buy land, develop it and eventually
Speaker 6: build the city. Because the name of this thing changed
Speaker 6: like three times. Thank you, Troy. He just sent out
Speaker 6: a million email blasts with different titles to it. But yes, I.
Speaker 3: Heard, I heard, I heard.
Speaker 8: We have a prestigious alumni in the building, none other
Speaker 8: than styles P himself. If you're wrapped in from a
Speaker 8: legendary group to lock so Styles, I guess it's interested
Speaker 8: in learning about developing land and buying land. So you
Speaker 8: never know who might pop up in these situations. Shout
Speaker 8: out to styles now a legend, a legend where we
Speaker 8: come from, for sure.
Speaker 6: Absolutely alumni at that and an alumni yes, so thank
Speaker 6: you for being in the class today, styles P, and
Speaker 6: then all the rest of you know, I'm sure all
Speaker 6: of us are illustrious guests in somewhere other and so
Speaker 6: we appreciate all of you guys for being here. You
Speaker 6: guys got me back on the screen. All right, let's
Speaker 6: do this so building intentionally, how to buy land, development
Speaker 6: and eventually build this city. That's what we're gonna get
Speaker 6: into tonight, y'all. Uh disclaimer, because what I do recognize
Speaker 6: is that we got earners from around the world. So
Speaker 6: what I need for you all to understand is that
Speaker 6: the things that I'm going to teach in this master
Speaker 6: class are going to not be the same in every state.
Speaker 6: So the most important thing that you can do with
Speaker 6: any information that you get is to research it for yourself,
Speaker 6: to get an expert in your area, whether that be
Speaker 6: a real estate agent, a legit business consultant, business strategists,
Speaker 6: and of course a lawyer, someone that you can trust.
Speaker 6: Is always good to have a lawyer stay lawyered up.
Speaker 6: So that's my disclaimer for tonight that these principles, these strategies,
Speaker 6: these things I'm gonna teach you, they are definitely probably
Speaker 6: applicable to what it is you need to do in
Speaker 6: your neck of the woods. But you have to find
Speaker 6: out for yourself if that thing that I teach or
Speaker 6: say tonight is going to have the same precedence in
Speaker 6: the areas in what you plan on building and investing
Speaker 6: in so now that that side of the way. I'm
Speaker 6: Ashley Scott. I am a realtor based in Stonecrest, Georgia.
Speaker 6: I am the vice president of the Freedom Georgia Initiative.
Speaker 6: If you do not know my story, I am My
Speaker 6: good friend Rene Walters purchased ninety six points seventy one
Speaker 6: acres of land just outside of Tombsboro, Georgia, a little
Speaker 6: sleeping town that went viral over the summer after we
Speaker 6: had the unfortunate events of George Floyd being murdered, amaled
Speaker 6: Aubrey being murdered Red Sharp Brooks. All of the energy
Speaker 6: that we have been dealing with around social justice issues
Speaker 6: made that article go viral and it caught my friend
Speaker 6: Renee's attention, and her being an entrepreneur a visionary herself, said,
Speaker 6: you know what, if we're gonna make change, we need
Speaker 6: to look at this town. And so she brought that
Speaker 6: to me. We went to an open house, we visited,
Speaker 6: we did our due diligence, and we decided to invest
Speaker 6: in building our own community and building a community that
Speaker 6: is intentionally created to serve and meet the needs of
Speaker 6: black families and black businesses. To try to create a
Speaker 6: replicatable model for other families to buy land and to
Speaker 6: create for themselves the kind of community that they deserve
Speaker 6: to live in. So the Freedom Georgia Initiative is just
Speaker 6: getting started. We purchased our land July twenty twenty, so
Speaker 6: that's been less than six months. I myself, as a realtor,
Speaker 6: have been a realtor for just over two and a
Speaker 6: half years, and I've been in marketing for over ten
Speaker 6: years now. I have a company called the Mobile Maidens.
Speaker 6: I'm a wife, I'm a mom, I'm an entrepreneur, I'm
Speaker 6: a leader at heart. I am a proud HBCU graduate.
Speaker 6: Shout out to Bennett College for Women and all of
Speaker 6: my ben at bells. Shout out to my sorority sisters
Speaker 6: of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated. And that's me in
Speaker 6: a nutshell. I am very civically engaged and always working
Speaker 6: toward a progressive realization of a worthy ideal. So it's
Speaker 6: time to buy land. Y'all for building more intentionally. Everywhere
Speaker 6: you look, it's clear that there's a lot of concerns.
Speaker 6: We've got COVID concerns. We don't know whether or not
Speaker 6: we are going to get over this hump. People are
Speaker 6: concerned about density and about how quickly the virus can
Speaker 6: spread because it's so highly contagious. And what we know
Speaker 6: is when you're talking about a highly contagious pandemic, it
Speaker 6: is going to have a bigger impact on dense areas.
Speaker 6: So we have to look at our housing situation as
Speaker 6: a whole when it comes to public our health and
Speaker 6: as a public health issue. Not only that, we've got
Speaker 6: climate change happening. We got wildfires in California and Oregon
Speaker 6: that is actually dictating relocation and trends. People are, you know,
Speaker 6: literally looking at relocating not just for climate change, but
Speaker 6: because of affordable housing. We're in the midst of an
Speaker 6: affordable housing crisis. We have more buyers than we have
Speaker 6: sellers at the moment, so this market and all of
Speaker 6: the conditions around it, we are going to probably see
Speaker 6: a huge influx of even.
Speaker 3: We have sellers at the moment.
Speaker 6: So this market and all of the conditions over and
Speaker 6: food insecurity, land is the direct opportunity to solve that problem.
Speaker 6: We gotta buy land. Social injustice, we have been facing
Speaker 6: high crime, high policing, and it creates a cycle of
Speaker 6: prison industrial complexes and until we buy land and change
Speaker 6: how the structures of our communities actually look, we are
Speaker 6: going to continue to see social uprising and social injustice.
Speaker 6: We have to change what community looks like to really
Speaker 6: have an impact on how we prison and police our communities,
Speaker 6: health disparities, this pandemic. Again, the reason why certain demographics
Speaker 6: were disproportionately affected by COVID is because of our lifestyles.
Speaker 6: We don't walk enough, you guys. We're not living in
Speaker 6: well being. We're not spending time and outdoors forest bathing.
Speaker 6: You probably don't even know what forest bathing is, but
Speaker 6: look it up. I promise you you are.
Speaker 5: Going to come back to that.
Speaker 6: You will enjoy forest bathing. Right, So, buying land is
Speaker 6: genuinely a way and a me means for us to
Speaker 6: intentionally create a better world. So that's why I'm so
Speaker 6: passionate about this, and I want to get into my
Speaker 6: little five step outline of building intentionally. So when I'm
Speaker 6: gonna cover this evening is the land, the team, the money,
Speaker 6: the build, and the charter. I'm not gonna go very
Speaker 6: deeply into the charter because you know that's a whole lot,
Speaker 6: but I am gonna touch on it just a bit
Speaker 6: but let's get started with a bit of insight before
Speaker 6: I start about But if we're going to talk about
Speaker 6: developing land, we're gonna talk about buying, buying back the block.
Speaker 6: We have to have a bit of insight, a bit
Speaker 6: of strategy when we talk about group economics, we have
Speaker 6: to really have a mindset shift. So one of the
Speaker 6: things I want to just get us kind of positioned
Speaker 6: with one. I hope you got a notebook. If you
Speaker 6: don't go get it, because it's about to be some
Speaker 6: note taking moments coming. Okay. If you don't leave with
Speaker 6: nothing else tonight, If you have no intention on buying
Speaker 6: any kind of land whatsoever, if you don't know if
Speaker 6: you'll ever develop any pieces of land, if you don't
Speaker 6: want to even consider living in community, or buying and
Speaker 6: building the block, any of that, take this with you tonight.
Speaker 6: There are seven seven habits of highly effective people. And
Speaker 6: for you to be able to actually see something as magnet,
Speaker 6: something as big as buying land, developing it into a subdivision,
Speaker 6: into a mixed use project, into a full blown community,
Speaker 6: an eco village, whatever it is that your heart is
Speaker 6: desiring to do with the land that you want to purchase,
Speaker 6: you're going to have to have some insight and some strategy,
Speaker 6: and your disposition in life is going to allow you
Speaker 6: to be more successful versus less successful in this person suit,
Speaker 6: because it will be easy to fail, and really to
Speaker 6: give up is what happens. You don't really fail, You
Speaker 6: give up when you get so many challenges. So if
Speaker 6: you don't have the right insight, the right strategy, you're
Speaker 6: going to give up when those challenges come. So I
Speaker 6: want to talk about these seven habits first before we
Speaker 6: get into the class, because I think mindset has everything
Speaker 6: to do with building land and buying land and developing
Speaker 6: land and eventually building a city. Right, So number one,
Speaker 6: be proactive, period poop. Begin with the end in mind.
Speaker 6: Beginning with the ending mind is essential in buying land
Speaker 6: and developing it. If you don't start with the end
Speaker 6: in mind, you're going to lose your shirt. You're not
Speaker 6: going to have an exit strategy, you're not going to
Speaker 6: be able to actually manifest the actual benefits, the profits,
Speaker 6: the things that you wanted from your land. If you
Speaker 6: don't start with the end in mind, put first things first.
Speaker 6: You can't tackle everything at once, and your core values
Speaker 6: and the end that you have in mind, that ultimate
Speaker 6: result that you want, whether it's some sum of money,
Speaker 6: whether it's a community that it's intentional and loving and thriving,
Speaker 6: whether it's creating a space and a place where your
Speaker 6: children feel safe, and then you can pass it down
Speaker 6: as an inheritance. Put first things first, because when you
Speaker 6: come up with challenges, if you remember those things that
Speaker 6: are priorities to you, you won't allow the challenges, the
Speaker 6: petty arguments, the things that will happen with contractors and
Speaker 6: permitters and all of the different things that go on.
Speaker 6: You won't let it deter you, and you won't get
Speaker 6: caught up on things that easily beset you because you
Speaker 6: know what the in mind is and you put that
Speaker 6: first thing first. Right Four, Think when when you're not
Speaker 6: going to be able to develop a piece of land
Speaker 6: unless you have a win win attitude, a win win mindset.
Speaker 6: It's not just what's in it for me, and it's
Speaker 6: never a sum zero game. When you're talking about when
Speaker 6: when it doesn't look like I beat this guy and
Speaker 6: that guy's a loser. You can't negotiate that way and
Speaker 6: you can't build community that way. You have to have
Speaker 6: a win win mindset of I get something. My brother
Speaker 6: gets something, I get something. My contractor gets something. I
Speaker 6: get something, my county gets something. I get something, my
Speaker 6: economic development authority gets something. It's a win win for everybody.
Speaker 6: Seek first to understand, then to be understood before you
Speaker 6: go rah rah rah. Make sure that you understand why
Speaker 6: things are happening in the fashion of which they're happening.
Speaker 6: It could be something that came up in your build
Speaker 6: or your project that was unforeseeable. So to understand first
Speaker 6: is always a great practice when you're talking about going
Speaker 6: through this path of buying and developing land, and then
Speaker 6: to be understood. Make sure that you are speaking up
Speaker 6: for yourself, that you are keeping your core principles and
Speaker 6: the core values of your project in mind. With the
Speaker 6: people you are working with. Synergize. Look for ways that
Speaker 6: allow things to get momentum, to work together seamlessly, strategic partnerships,
Speaker 6: people who are just a good fit. I have some
Speaker 6: great stories that I don't even have time to share,
Speaker 6: but anybody that we have brought onto our Freedom Georgia
Speaker 6: Initiative project has had good synergry and with very strategic
Speaker 6: about never working with somebody we don't like, we don't
Speaker 6: want to look at or that we think is not
Speaker 6: going to have to share the common goal, because if
Speaker 6: I'm going to do business with you, I want to
Speaker 6: make sure I feel good when I'm doing that business.
Speaker 6: And when you're doing the business of buying land and
Speaker 6: developing it. You're going to be in business with a
Speaker 6: person for a long time, at least eighteen to twenty
Speaker 6: four months, and you want to make sure that there's
Speaker 6: synergy with the partners and the consultants and the contractors
Speaker 6: and the people you choose on your journey. Sharpen the
Speaker 6: saw always I personally develop yourself, personally develop your team,
Speaker 6: find new innovative information in ways to do things. So
Speaker 6: keep that strategy in mind. It will serve you for
Speaker 6: what I'm getting ready to teach tonight. It will serve
Speaker 6: you if you get off the YouTube right now, take
Speaker 6: it with you, Okay. And that was Seven Habits of
Speaker 6: Highly Effective People. That's one of the books. That is
Speaker 6: my suggested refe by Stephen Covey. Let's get into it
Speaker 6: the land. I'm going to talk about why buy land.
Speaker 6: We're going to discuss world versus urban, the process, best features,
Speaker 6: and things to avoid. Just so you can see in
Speaker 6: the corner over there. That is my little land that
Speaker 6: I have purchased with my good friends and family, And
Speaker 6: that was our first event, the big Black camp out,
Speaker 6: So you're getting to get a little glimpse of where
Speaker 6: we are beginning. Our developments got beautiful views, and I
Speaker 6: just love it every time I go. Why buy land, Well,
Speaker 6: raw land investments are typically less competitive than residential real
Speaker 6: estate in the market right now. I don't know if
Speaker 6: any of you guys are in the market, maybe looking
Speaker 6: to buy a home, and you have been putting offers
Speaker 6: on houses over and over and over again, and it's
Speaker 6: like every time you look, you're missing out on a
Speaker 6: chance to get the home of your dreams. You might
Speaker 6: be an You're putting in offers and offers, and all
Speaker 6: of your offers are getting passed up because it's a
Speaker 6: seller's market. Inventory is really low, particularly where I am
Speaker 6: in my market of Atlanta, Georgia, because interest rates are
Speaker 6: just so low and this pandemic makes people uncertain about
Speaker 6: where they may move and where they might want to go.
Speaker 6: They aren't putting their homes on the market. So we've
Speaker 6: got a whole lot of buyers, but not a lot
Speaker 6: of sellers. So that's creating an artificial inflation of the
Speaker 6: prices in the market at the moment. So we really
Speaker 6: can look towards land investments as a major opportunity, especially
Speaker 6: when we look at these relocation trends, to be able
Speaker 6: to purchase a piece of land and develop it to
Speaker 6: really address this affordable housing crisis and to make yourself
Speaker 6: some money. Again, it's less competitive than residential real estate
Speaker 6: when you buy land. Sellers of raw land investments are
Speaker 6: a little more likely to be able to finance through
Speaker 6: owner finance. And now I'm gonna touch a little bit
Speaker 6: more on that when we get to the money section.
Speaker 6: Purchase price and holding costs are lower with rawland. So
Speaker 6: that's something that a lot of times we look at
Speaker 6: as real estate investors are holding costs over time, especially
Speaker 6: if you are someone who does birds and buys and holds,
Speaker 6: you're gonna want to you have higher holding costs, insurance
Speaker 6: and taxes and all of the things that you have
Speaker 6: to maintain when you're holding an actual piece of real
Speaker 6: property if you buy land as an investment and don't
Speaker 6: develop it but simply hold it, especially if it's in
Speaker 6: a location that's trendy, a location that's likely to appreciate
Speaker 6: in value over time. That is an exceptional piece of
Speaker 6: property that can then generate a profit for you, a
Speaker 6: return on your investment, and you can just hold it
Speaker 6: for time and hopefully it does become the next place
Speaker 6: for gentrification or revitalization and you're able to have that
Speaker 6: money that might have been sending in the bank turn
Speaker 6: into a chance to sell the property or develop the
Speaker 6: area and build a home and sell it for a
Speaker 6: large price. So that's the value of purchase price and
Speaker 6: holding costs that are lower. We're all land the appreciation potential.
Speaker 6: I think I just mentioned that the appreciation potential can
Speaker 6: remain high even with less than stellar market conditions, which
Speaker 6: is where we are now. You can buy a piece
Speaker 6: of land for affordable price right now, hold it, and
Speaker 6: then when this wealth transfer finishes, you might be able
Speaker 6: to have a nice return on appreciation on your land.
Speaker 6: There are countless development opportunities for the raw land. There
Speaker 6: is not just developing the land. You can put trees
Speaker 6: on the land and sell the lumber. You can create
Speaker 6: Airbnb experiences. You can rent the land out for cultural
Speaker 6: events and festivals. There is farming. You can lease the land.
Speaker 6: You can do so many things with ray land. The
Speaker 6: only limit is your imagination. If you notice at the
Speaker 6: bottom fine land on www dot landslip dot com, go
Speaker 6: visit landflip dot com. When you finish this masterclass, start
Speaker 6: doing your research, Start seeing where the land is cheap,
Speaker 6: start seeing where people are look for trends where people
Speaker 6: are moving to, and then go look at buying land
Speaker 6: in those areas. Google is your friend rural versus urban.
Speaker 6: There are I like rural land. That's just me. You're
Speaker 6: gonna find more rural land available at larger acreages at
Speaker 6: more affordable prices than you will in urban areas. Urban
Speaker 6: areas have all the conveniences we already know. It's close
Speaker 6: to the walmart, it's close to the jobs, it's close
Speaker 6: to all the things, the nightlife, the stuff you love.
Speaker 6: But there's setbacks to both sides of the fence. You again,
Speaker 6: beginning with the end in mind, have to have clarity
Speaker 6: on what it is you want to do with your investment,
Speaker 6: what it is you want to accomplish once you purchase
Speaker 6: your land. If you're interested in purchasing land in an
Speaker 6: urban area, you definitely want to find something that's going
Speaker 6: to be in a trendy area. That doesn't have a
Speaker 6: lot of zoning and ordinances, But be mindful that you
Speaker 6: need to check the zoning and ordinances when you invest
Speaker 6: in purchase urban land, because when you're an urban land
Speaker 6: is land that is inside of a major metropolitan area.
Speaker 6: For those of you who are like, what do you
Speaker 6: mean by that, So, if you're looking at a place
Speaker 6: like Metro Atlanta and even the little city surrounding it
Speaker 6: like Decatur and Smyrna, those are urban areas with high density,
Speaker 6: lots of traffic, and typically there's more crime in the area.
Speaker 6: They're typically higher police and again there's benefits like proximity
Speaker 6: to shopping, work in nightlife. There's more noise pollution, there's
Speaker 6: light pollution, actual pollution. So when you're looking at rural land,
Speaker 6: there's a lot of grants and USDA loans that might
Speaker 6: be available to you, as well as opportunity zones. You
Speaker 6: can find opportunity zones both in urban areas and rural areas.
Speaker 6: You need to be able to google it, go find
Speaker 6: opportunity zones. You put the zip code or the address
Speaker 6: of the area you're interested in investing in to be
Speaker 6: able to find out whether or not it is in
Speaker 6: an opportunity zone. Rural has minimum or no zoning or ordinances.
Speaker 6: Typically with your rural land, it's more of the countryside.
Speaker 6: It's usually about forty five minutes outside of the downtown
Speaker 6: or center city areas, so there's less density, there's less traffic,
Speaker 6: there's usually less crime, less policing. You might have a
Speaker 6: sheriff's department versus a metropolitan police department, so it's a
Speaker 6: different feel altogether. It's more abundant with trees, nature and
Speaker 6: natural resources, less noise pollution, less light pollution, less actual pollution,
Speaker 6: and there is the challenge of being further away from
Speaker 6: your modern conveniences. You might not be able to roll
Speaker 6: up to the walmart. It probably close at nine ten o'clock.
Speaker 6: Some of the stories you like, but you also again
Speaker 6: I'll say, begin with the end in mind. What is
Speaker 6: it you want to see with your land investment when
Speaker 6: you purchase, when getting started in land investment, I'm going
Speaker 6: to say it again, it's vitally important to understand the
Speaker 6: zoning the area. The way to understand what the zoning
Speaker 6: laws are is simply to get what your real estate
Speaker 6: agent to check out, the tax assessor's office, your county
Speaker 6: manager's office, your city office. There's usually a website that
Speaker 6: has zoning and ordinances. You can call your zoning department,
Speaker 6: your local zoning department in the city, or the areas
Speaker 6: you're interested in to find out what the zoning restrictions are.
Speaker 6: Zoning is essentially a map overlay that tells our city planners, developers,
Speaker 6: economic developers, commercial developers where they can build in the
Speaker 6: city's master planning. Is this area available for industrial stuff,
Speaker 6: This area is available for residential and mixed use, this
Speaker 6: area is available for commercial. So knowing where what the
Speaker 6: zoning is on the parcel of land that you intend
Speaker 6: to purchase is essential because you won't be able to
Speaker 6: build what you want to build without a lot of hoopla.
Speaker 6: I say hoopla. What I mean is going through the
Speaker 6: process of having a zoning variance issued by your city
Speaker 6: council or your zoning department. It's a process, it can
Speaker 6: be done. That's the great thing about America, Baby, anything
Speaker 6: is possible. You just need to be able to negotiate.
Speaker 6: But just know that that may be a challenge. Property
Speaker 6: buying timeline, so there's a plethora of timelines that are
Speaker 6: possible in real estate development, and it's going to be
Speaker 6: based on the type of project that you're building. When
Speaker 6: you're purchasing land for development, know that the more intricate
Speaker 6: your plans are, the more the larger the parcel is.
Speaker 6: The amounts of acres that you have will dictate your
Speaker 6: timeline just as well as your budget. So these timelines
Speaker 6: are very loose. But I bought and I was able
Speaker 6: to organize my nineteen families and buy that ninety six
Speaker 6: acres of land in less than forty five days with
Speaker 6: my collective. That's not normal, so don't think that that's
Speaker 6: a typical result at all. You can take years to
Speaker 6: find the perfect piece of land if you have an
Speaker 6: extensive project and vision in your mind for what it
Speaker 6: is you foresee building. But ultimately it will be varying
Speaker 6: according to what it is you plan to do in
Speaker 6: the area, of course, as well where you plan to
Speaker 6: do it. Because of the pandemic, things that have also
Speaker 6: slowed down significantly, and you have the fact that they're
Speaker 6: social distancing issues keeping projects from moving as quickly as
Speaker 6: they typically would because of being able to keep labor
Speaker 6: on the project. It's a lot going on. But visioning
Speaker 6: is the first step to your property buying timeline. I
Speaker 6: keep saying it begin with the end in mind. Knowing
Speaker 6: what you want to do with your land is essential
Speaker 6: and it's going to help lead your search. You need
Speaker 6: to take a few days and get clear about what
Speaker 6: the community is you want to build. If you're building
Speaker 6: an intentional community, if you want a farm, if you
Speaker 6: plan on building affordable housing, if you plan on just
Speaker 6: putting up one house and then doing the next project.
Speaker 6: Just know what your goals are. Then that goal will
Speaker 6: help dictate your search. Because there's a lot of reasons,
Speaker 6: in different motivations for why people are purchasing lands in
Speaker 6: this current state that we are in in America. So
Speaker 6: whatever your reason is for why you want to build
Speaker 6: buy land, and you feel pulled to buy land, write
Speaker 6: the vision, make it plain, and go searching for the
Speaker 6: land that's going to be most ideal for what it
Speaker 6: is you see yourself doing with this land development. It
Speaker 6: can take seven days, it could take one hundred and
Speaker 6: eighty days. I had a person who took my seminar
Speaker 6: how to Buy Land using group Economics that says she's
Speaker 6: been looking for land for over two years because she
Speaker 6: has certain criteria for her property buying. That being that
Speaker 6: it has access to water, that it has flat areas
Speaker 6: for food plots and flat areas for a home site,
Speaker 6: and it needs to have road frontage and access, and
Speaker 6: it needs to be just in this perfect location in
Speaker 6: Georgia for it to work. And so when you have
Speaker 6: those criterias and those fairy exact specifications, it can take
Speaker 6: your property search much much longer. So that time frame
Speaker 6: is a larger time frame because it varies based on
Speaker 6: what you want. Due dilaging. Due diliging is your due
Speaker 6: diligence period. You gotta do the research. You've got to hurt,
Speaker 6: you've got to hire the inspector, the appraiser. You need
Speaker 6: to do your soil samples, your percolation tests, things that
Speaker 6: are going to let you know that the site you
Speaker 6: are selecting is going to be adequate for your farming,
Speaker 6: for your building, for your community developing. So that due
Speaker 6: diligence period can be fourteen to twenty one days, I've
Speaker 6: seen them go as long as thirty days. And you
Speaker 6: can always renew that time frame or extend that time
Speaker 6: frame as necessary with what's called an amendment to the contract.
Speaker 6: Once you've placed your offer on the parcel of land
Speaker 6: that you're interested in perk, So that offer comes after
Speaker 6: you found that search. I should have added that as
Speaker 6: a part of my timeline. But you make an offer
Speaker 6: on that parcel once you've decided that you know what,
Speaker 6: it's got everything I need, and now you really make
Speaker 6: sure it has everything you need. You test the water.
Speaker 6: If there's a well, you get the well tested. If
Speaker 6: there is a lot of trees, you get the landscape
Speaker 6: or guide to come in and give you a quote
Speaker 6: for clearing the trees. You need to do as much
Speaker 6: research as you can on the political landscape of the area,
Speaker 6: who's coming into the area to develop it, what's the
Speaker 6: demographics of the area. This is very important because you
Speaker 6: can't get a Whole Foods or Starbucks unless the people
Speaker 6: who live there make a certain income annually and they
Speaker 6: on top of that, it needs to be a certain
Speaker 6: amount of people who live inside of the area for
Speaker 6: them to want to come to the area. So all
Speaker 6: of these things, this information is essential for you deciding
Speaker 6: whether or not your investment is going to be a
Speaker 6: viable investment. For you, knowing whether or not the land
Speaker 6: is inside of city limits or outside of city limits.
Speaker 6: If the land is outside of city limits, this is
Speaker 6: your chance to build a city. If the land is
Speaker 6: inside of city limits, ain't no help for you. You're gonna
Speaker 6: have to just do what's going on, or become civically
Speaker 6: engaged and change the landscape of your community through politics
Speaker 6: and civil activism. Closing typically takes forty five to sixty
Speaker 6: days on land, that is so that they can get
Speaker 6: the appreciation the survey. The survey is going to be
Speaker 6: priced according to how much land you are buying. It's
Speaker 6: tempting in juicy to say I'm gonna go buy four hundred,
Speaker 6: six hundred acres of land, and you might find four
Speaker 6: hundred or six hun your acres of land at a
Speaker 6: price that you could have never thought was possible. But
Speaker 6: you have to look at the cost of serving that land,
Speaker 6: of developing that land, and knowing what your goals are.
Speaker 6: It can take longer than you know. It can take
Speaker 6: forty five to sixty days to actually close on it.
Speaker 6: And so depending on the situation such as you're financing appraisals,
Speaker 6: due diligence, concern, tidal order, all of that can push
Speaker 6: your closing further away than the forty five and sixty days.
Speaker 6: You want to work very closely with your real estate agent.
Speaker 6: You're closing attorney as well as your lender to make
Speaker 6: sure that this project that you're doing is moving along okay.
Speaker 6: Best features you can find when you're looking for land.
Speaker 6: You're looking for scenic views, fresh water sources such as lakes, rivers, aquifers,
Speaker 6: spring You're looking for access to road frontage and easements.
Speaker 6: You are looking for access to utilities. You are looking
Speaker 6: again for that unincorporated county land that has minimal ordinances.
Speaker 6: You're looking for places that are home site ready flat
Speaker 6: where you can get on there, you can take that
Speaker 6: road and you can build your dream home and get
Speaker 6: it pop and quick. Road systems and food plots if
Speaker 6: you're into gardening. Those are the things that you're going
Speaker 6: to be looking for when you look at buying rawland.
Speaker 6: That's going to be essential features. Challenge is to avoid uneven, rugged,
Speaker 6: undesirable topography. If it looks like you wouldn't want to
Speaker 6: walk there, live there, If animals don't look like they
Speaker 6: want to walk there, live there, it's probably not a
Speaker 6: good investment. It's probably not the place you want to
Speaker 6: try to put down routs for a development or a community.
Speaker 6: Gridlock land you never want to play the game of
Speaker 6: buying a piece of land that's in the middle of
Speaker 6: four other five six other people's properties and lands and
Speaker 6: there's no clear deeded easement for how you can access
Speaker 6: that land. That's a no go. You can work to
Speaker 6: negotiate an easement avoid that if possible. No water, no well,
Speaker 6: no county water. That's another challenge. That's another expensive piece
Speaker 6: of infrastructure. You can essentially put a well into your land,
Speaker 6: assuming that there is some kind of aquifier or groundwater
Speaker 6: that is down there. You just need to understand that
Speaker 6: when you put or dig a well for water, because
Speaker 6: there's no county water hookup or no public water works
Speaker 6: in place, that's going to be dictated a bout how
Speaker 6: deep your well contractor has to go into the ground
Speaker 6: to actually find that water. So that can be a
Speaker 6: cost that is very hard to determine. But you can
Speaker 6: talk to the local person in the area who does
Speaker 6: wells and septic tanks, because they're going to know what
Speaker 6: the going rate is in your geographic location that you're
Speaker 6: interested in developing because they're already digging there and typically
Speaker 6: the water table the ground water for a well is
Speaker 6: going to be about the same for a geographical region
Speaker 6: or area, so you have to get in touch with
Speaker 6: that local expert. Challenge is to avoid again no public utilities.
Speaker 6: That's another hassle unless you have intentions on living off
Speaker 6: the grid, installing solar power, getting with Moses West for
Speaker 6: his atmos feared water generation technology being able to collect
Speaker 6: rain water like you, unless you're on that life and
Speaker 6: you about that survivor, you gonna need public utilities. So
Speaker 6: do not avoid buying land in places that have no
Speaker 6: access to public utilities. Also avoid buying land in areas
Speaker 6: that have overly restrictive zoning regulations, places that have very
Speaker 6: staunch conservatives and they don't want you know, cutting down
Speaker 6: trees or places that you know are laxed even with
Speaker 6: their zoning regulations and they just let anybody build whatever anywhere.
Speaker 6: And now you're dealing with toxic water being dumped into
Speaker 6: your neighborhood. So you there's a fine line to that.
Speaker 6: You just need to again do your due diligence and
Speaker 6: again exorbitant permit fees. Find out what the fees are
Speaker 6: in advance for the area you're interested in purchasing land,
Speaker 6: and when it comes to permits, you can find that
Speaker 6: from your tax assessor's office, your county manager office what
Speaker 6: the cost, or your city manager, your city zoning office.
Speaker 6: They will tell you what the fees are, what the
Speaker 6: process is. When you are building something that is a
Speaker 6: commercial project, the fees tend to be exorbitantly higher than
Speaker 6: a traditional residential project. So in any case, be mindful
Speaker 6: of this. I'm going to go back and mention for
Speaker 6: restrictive zoning regulations you want to build those types of
Speaker 6: projects in have to be open to that. You need
Speaker 6: to go find out again, go to your zoning an
Speaker 6: ordinance department in your city in the counties, call them
Speaker 6: up if it's an area that you don't currently live
Speaker 6: in that you're looking to invest in, and find out
Speaker 6: what they might have on the books as it relates
Speaker 6: to container homes, manufactured homes, eco friendly homes, all these
Speaker 6: new innovative things that you might be interested in doing.
Speaker 6: Because I know we got some innovative people out here
Speaker 6: who want to do some innovative things. So find out
Speaker 6: first before you buy the team. All right, So now
Speaker 6: that we've talked about the land, we're gonna go ahead
Speaker 6: and get into the team. I'm always happy to see
Speaker 6: my beautiful team on the screen there. That is my
Speaker 6: Freedom family. Shout out to the Freedom nineteen and my
Speaker 6: business partners Renee and Laura Riley Cooper. I love y'all,
Speaker 6: but you have to have a team, y'all. You cannot
Speaker 6: do this by yourself. Even if you decide to be
Speaker 6: a sole proprietor you have to. I still have team
Speaker 6: members in the area that are going to support you.
Speaker 6: That's going to lift you up. People who have certain expertise.
Speaker 6: You're going to need consultants, So let's get into this
Speaker 6: partners versus consultants. When you start taking on a development project,
Speaker 6: your partners are your LLC members or your corporation members,
Speaker 6: the people who put up the money with you to
Speaker 6: start this business. These are the people who are bringing
Speaker 6: the mental capacity to talent to this project. They get
Speaker 6: paid later when they share in the profits. They are
Speaker 6: accountable for the decision making to help grow the business
Speaker 6: or to make sure that this venture is profitable, and
Speaker 6: they bear the financial losses if the venture fails. That
Speaker 6: is a partner consultants different world. Your consultant gets paid
Speaker 6: now as they do the work or as you're doing
Speaker 6: the work so that you can be successful. They have
Speaker 6: a fiduciary and an ethical duty to do right by you.
Speaker 6: These are your realtors, These are your lawyers. These are
Speaker 6: the people who have went to school and are specialized
Speaker 6: in doing what they do. You need these consultants in
Speaker 6: your life, and they have a duty once they bring
Speaker 6: you on as once they bring you on as a client,
Speaker 6: to do right by you. But if they mess it up,
Speaker 6: or you mess it up, or some factors mess it up,
Speaker 6: they don't bear any of the financial loss if the
Speaker 6: ventures fail. So just know who your partners are and
Speaker 6: who your consultants are. And if you're really strategic, you
Speaker 6: make the people who are the experts your partner and
Speaker 6: your land development venture. So we're going to get into that.
Speaker 6: Your team players. You need someone who is administrative or
Speaker 6: business oriented. You need somebody who's exceptionally credit worthy. You
Speaker 6: need somebody who has a positive track record in real estate.
Speaker 6: Somebody who is a general contractor they've been a flipper
Speaker 6: rehabber for the last five years. Somebody has to know
Speaker 6: what they are doing on your team. In that partner capacity,
Speaker 6: you have to have a partner who has that track record.
Speaker 6: You need a spokesperson and in some instances you're gonna
Speaker 6: want to have somebody who's an ally if the people
Speaker 6: you want to purchase the land from don't necessarily look
Speaker 6: like you and don't necessarily want to or seem as
Speaker 6: if they're not willing to do business with you. An
Speaker 6: ally is someone who can make the transaction happen on
Speaker 6: your behalf. That person needs to be somebody you can trust.
Speaker 6: Everyone should have a history of financial stability. And when
Speaker 6: I say everyone, i'm talking about if you have a
Speaker 6: team of four people, all four people need to have
Speaker 6: a history of financial stability, fiscal responsibility, common sense, and
Speaker 6: congeniality because if you got that one hot head that
Speaker 6: cuts everybody out all the time is not going to
Speaker 6: work for you. Evidence of earned income. People want to
Speaker 6: know where your money is coming from, and you have
Speaker 6: to have documented income, documented ability to show where your
Speaker 6: down payment money is coming from, where the money came
Speaker 6: from for the contributions for your startup. So you have
Speaker 6: to have that evidence of earned income for everybody on
Speaker 6: your team. And you also have to have no conventions
Speaker 6: of fraud or deaf because it's just good business. It
Speaker 6: makes it easier to do business, to build strategic partnerships,
Speaker 6: to access government funding, grants and all of the different
Speaker 6: things that are available out here. Much needed expertise. These
Speaker 6: are your consultants. These are the people that you can't
Speaker 6: do this without. That's either your business culture, your business
Speaker 6: attorney to make sure that your business is structured correctly.
Speaker 6: If you are an earner, you got resources for that.
Speaker 6: If you are a part of any of these amazing
Speaker 6: platforms that are out here right now that a lot
Speaker 6: of us watch, like their Great Society, a Wealth Standard
Speaker 6: with nineteen keys. There's so many good platforms out here,
Speaker 6: including myself with my Freedom and Legacy building with Ashley
Speaker 6: Scott platform. Get a business coach and or a business attorney.
Speaker 6: Have somebody that can help you structure your business appropriately.
Speaker 6: You need a license realtor a real estate agent. Unless
Speaker 6: you are an experienced investor that's been investing for a
Speaker 6: long long time. You have a licensed realtor on your team,
Speaker 6: and someone who's seasoned, not somebody who has not done
Speaker 6: any deals, and not somebody that's so seasoned that they're
Speaker 6: too busy to get back to you. They're too busy
Speaker 6: to show you what you want to see. That don't
Speaker 6: want to walk around the land with you. You really do
Speaker 6: need someone who's going to be in the trenches with you, surveyor.
Speaker 6: You have to have somebody who is gonna be able
Speaker 6: to work walk through that land and tell you what
Speaker 6: the perimeters are, where your property lines are. And you
Speaker 6: don't want to have a surveyor who's gonna hit you
Speaker 6: over the head because when you talk about land acreage, again,
Speaker 6: the more acreage you have, the more it costs. And
Speaker 6: when you have a good surveyor like the one I have,
Speaker 6: they will say, oh, I'm the surveyor in this area,
Speaker 6: and you know what matter of fact that land that
Speaker 6: you want to buy that area. I surveyed that piece.
Speaker 6: I surveyed that piece, and I surveyed that piece. So
Speaker 6: instead of surveying all three hundred and sixty four acres,
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go ahead and survey this last piece of
Speaker 6: the front part. And that's gonna save you tons of money.
Speaker 6: Because they being a licensed surveyor, their work is certified.
Speaker 6: They're not gonna they gonna do what they need to
Speaker 6: do because they could lose their license. But it saves
Speaker 6: you money. So be very particular with the surveyor, and again,
Speaker 6: having a surveyor who's familiar with the area. That's one
Speaker 6: of those things you should do is have somebody again
Speaker 6: who's familiar with the area. The same thing for your appraiser.
Speaker 6: You want to get an appraiser of the land who's
Speaker 6: familiar with the area, CPA or bookkeeper. You are going
Speaker 6: to want somebody who's good at keeping track of all
Speaker 6: of these expenses. Particularly when you are talking about building
Speaker 6: and you get into the construction aspect of this thing,
Speaker 6: you definitely need somebody who's keeping track of the books
Speaker 6: and the expenses on your project. The developer or the builder,
Speaker 6: they are responsible for that part two, but they've worked
Speaker 6: hand in hand. Okay, your developer, your builder, they need
Speaker 6: to have a track record. They need to be somebody
Speaker 6: you have verifiable references that they have built projects and
Speaker 6: that they are in good financial standing, that they don't
Speaker 6: old people that they didn't walk off the project and
Speaker 6: didn't finish the project. Do your due diligence on the builder.
Speaker 6: To loan officer, you have to have somebody on your
Speaker 6: team that's going to help you with all the different
Speaker 6: financing stages. And a good loan officer is going to
Speaker 6: help you get qualified from the beginning to the end
Speaker 6: for what it is you need to do your particular project,
Speaker 6: whether that's an intentional community, whether that's farming, whether that
Speaker 6: is building a community for the purpose of building a subdivision.
Speaker 6: Your loan officer is going to work work hand in
Speaker 6: hand with you to make sure that you make it
Speaker 6: to closing. You're closing attorney. That is the person who's
Speaker 6: going to make sure that the title on your land
Speaker 6: is free and clear and that you are not buying
Speaker 6: a piece of property that has encumbrances. Encumbrances are claims
Speaker 6: to the land, claims that oh, my grandmama owned this
Speaker 6: land and somebody stolen and there is a cloud on
Speaker 6: the title because of it. There was something that didn't
Speaker 6: get marked down in the tax assessor's office, so there's
Speaker 6: some issue. Your closing attorney is going to do some
Speaker 6: title research, do the work of ordering your title, and
Speaker 6: that's the person who handles that, and that's the person
Speaker 6: who's going to draw up your mortgage documents. If you're
Speaker 6: going to have a mortgage such as seller financing or
Speaker 6: do an institutional mode, your closing attorney's going to also
Speaker 6: make sure that you walk through every single piece of
Speaker 6: paper before when you're signing it, so you know what
Speaker 6: you're signing. And then finally, once you are done, whatever
Speaker 6: the project is, whatever it is, your building that you
Speaker 6: are closing on, you gotta have a pr agent, a
Speaker 6: marketing team, somebody is going to strategize so that you
Speaker 6: can make sure that your project is a success. Because
Speaker 6: when you're buying land and developing land, and chances are
Speaker 6: you don't know also how to market the land. Most
Speaker 6: of us don't know how to do everything. And you
Speaker 6: want to have the person who has that experience on
Speaker 6: your team and let them do what they do. Okay,
Speaker 6: how to choose your team. When a person shows you
Speaker 6: who they are, believe them. Look at that track record,
Speaker 6: check out reviews, get referrals. It's not rocket science. Go
Speaker 6: with your gut, but also go with the information in
Speaker 6: front of you that you see. If nobody has anything
Speaker 6: good to say about this person, don't you give them
Speaker 6: a chance. You go ahead and find someone who is reputable,
Speaker 6: and that's how you build. About the money, this is
Speaker 6: the financing portion of your land and development. We're gonna
Speaker 6: talk about institutional funding, selling financing, private lenders and crowdfunding.
Speaker 6: Institutional funding. This is where the slides get less cute
Speaker 6: with visuals right, but it's a serious matter. Farmers dot
Speaker 6: gov is a website that I want to tell everybody
Speaker 6: to check out. You might not have any intention of farming,
Speaker 6: but with what's going on with food sovereignty, being able
Speaker 6: to purchase land through the USDA and loan products that
Speaker 6: are available, as well as being able to take advantage
Speaker 6: of any grants and different things that are available with
Speaker 6: food sovereignty projects, it's a no brainer. Look into Farmers
Speaker 6: dot gov. That is a great resource. You are purchasing land.
Speaker 6: Institutional funding is your typical funding. That's when you go
Speaker 6: to Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Chase, or Citizens Trust Bank,
Speaker 6: Unity Bank and you say, I want to buy this
Speaker 6: piece of land, I would like to build a home
Speaker 6: on it, and I would like to sell it. They've
Speaker 6: got the best rates that it's the hardest to get,
Speaker 6: so you're going to need to speak to the multiple
Speaker 6: lenders and you're going to do best by starting with
Speaker 6: a bank that you already have a relationship with. So
Speaker 6: this goes without saying. Before you try your hand at
Speaker 6: investing in any land, you should be credit worthy. You
Speaker 6: should have an exceptional credit score. You should have money
Speaker 6: and savings in the bank. At least you know twenty
Speaker 6: five percent of your disposable income should be saved in
Speaker 6: the bank before you start buying land and investing in
Speaker 6: this way. Yes, you can buy affordable land at affordable
Speaker 6: prices cash outright, and if that's the strategy you want
Speaker 6: to do, by all means, do it. But if you're
Speaker 6: going to do a development project of scale, you're going
Speaker 6: to need institutional funding and to get the best rates
Speaker 6: and to even be considered by a traditional lender, you
Speaker 6: are going to need exceptional credit and experience that track record. Again,
Speaker 6: there's ways to get around it if you don't have
Speaker 6: a track record and no one on your team has
Speaker 6: a track record. By partnering strategically with your constructor your
Speaker 6: excuse me, your builder, your developer, speak with multiple lenders.
Speaker 6: Set up your LLC again, talk to that strategy, that
Speaker 6: business consultant, that strategist, that business attorney. Put your LLC
Speaker 6: into position by having the best, most credit worthy people
Speaker 6: on your LLC, people who have experience in maybe they
Speaker 6: have been a general contractor if you have someone in
Speaker 6: your family or in your friend group. Use the people
Speaker 6: who are in the best position to be able to
Speaker 6: go after institutional funding. If you do that, seller financing
Speaker 6: is the better option if you know you'd have less
Speaker 6: than perfect credit.
Speaker 5: No hold on ask because we got to hear that.
Speaker 5: We got to hear that. The good folks at Zoom
Speaker 5: something your sound caps going in and out.
Speaker 8: They're trying to sensor you like your asking. Can you
Speaker 8: repeat that because yourself, yourself is cutting off like every
Speaker 8: like ten minutes for like a minute. I don't know,
Speaker 8: I don't know what's going on, But can you can
Speaker 8: you still back at the beginning of seller financing?
Speaker 3: Please?
Speaker 5: We can't. We can't let that go on muted.
Speaker 6: Yes, I apologize. I probably have an unstable internet connection.
Speaker 8: It's all good anytime, anytime. Let you do that again
Speaker 8: because I.
Speaker 5: Earners. What's up.

Speaker 7: by P and C Bank. A lot of people think
Speaker 7: podcasts about work are boring, and sure, they definitely can be,
Speaker 7: but understanding a professional's routine shows us how they achieve
Speaker 7: their success little by little, day after day. It's like
Speaker 7: banking with P and C Bank. It might seem boring
Speaker 7: to save, plan and make calculated decisions with your bank,
Speaker 7: but keeping your money boring is what helps you live
Speaker 7: or more happily fulfilled life. P and C Bank brilliantly
Speaker 7: boring since eighteen sixty five. Brilliantly Boring since eighteen sixty

Speaker 3: We don't want anybody to miss any information.
Speaker 8: Like when your sound goes out, we'll just start talking,
Speaker 8: because it's usually like only for like thirty seconds, So
Speaker 8: then we'll start talking, and then we could just bring
Speaker 8: you back into. Just so whenever you hair start talking,
Speaker 8: just know that your sound cut out, and then we'll
Speaker 8: just bring you back in when your sound comes back on.
Speaker 5: Yeah, because I got my notes ash and I'm like, wait,
Speaker 5: what just happened?
Speaker 3: Now I get the information hook a crook man. They can't.
Speaker 5: That's a fact.
Speaker 7: They can't shout out to every shout out to everybody
Speaker 7: that has their hand raised. We're gonna get to that
Speaker 7: when Ashley finis with the presentation, we see the questions.
Speaker 5: We're gonna get to that, all right, bet.
Speaker 6: Seller financing, what I was saying is it's usually a
Speaker 6: better option because seller financing typically does not report to
Speaker 6: the credit bureaus. Sellers typically just want to get their money,
Speaker 6: and as long as you pay them, they have no
Speaker 6: reason to report to the credit bureaus. So that means
Speaker 6: your debt to income racial not going to change because
Speaker 6: that debt that you have on that land is not
Speaker 6: going to be reported, so you know it, but nobody
Speaker 6: else is gonna know it. So seller financing means you
Speaker 6: could go and put loans out on twenty properties real
Speaker 6: quick and start flipping them on how you might see
Speaker 6: it as an opportunity, and your debt to income ratio
Speaker 6: is not going to change, and you'll be able to
Speaker 6: move on your projects or get institutional funding as needed
Speaker 6: or additional credit cards as needed without these land deals
Speaker 6: being on your credit report and pulling your debt to
Speaker 6: income ratio to a lower score. So with seller financing,
Speaker 6: it's scamming season, so be careful. People will put a
Speaker 6: picture of a property up at like they are the seller,
Speaker 6: and you go and you're like, oh, I just bought
Speaker 6: twenty five acres for five stats, and you did not
Speaker 6: just buy twenty five acres for five stacks. So make
Speaker 6: sure you are doing your due diligence, that you're checking
Speaker 6: the tax records to make sure that the person who
Speaker 6: says that they are the owner the seller is the seller.
Speaker 6: Check with the listing agent, make sure that the listing
Speaker 6: agent is an official broker, and you protect yourself in
Speaker 6: every former fashion by going through a closing attorney on
Speaker 6: your seller financing deal. That's how you cover your assets. Okay,
Speaker 6: don't go do a seller financing deal straight up, and
Speaker 6: you might not actually end up buying this land, unless,
Speaker 6: of course, you are again a season investor, a season
Speaker 6: real estate investor that's used to buying properties and putting
Speaker 6: deeds in at the tax assessor's office and with the
Speaker 6: court in the county. If that's it's not you. You
Speaker 6: need a real estate agent and you need to close
Speaker 6: an attorney to ensure that your transaction with the seller
Speaker 6: goes through smoothly. Another note, with seller financing, or what's
Speaker 6: also known as owner financing, you negotiate with the seller.
Speaker 6: You can negotiate what you want and they can negotiate
Speaker 6: what they need. So it could be a twenty percent
Speaker 6: down payment, it could be a fifty percent down payment.
Speaker 6: It can be a flat monthly rate of interest only
Speaker 6: with a balloon payment at the end. So make sure
Speaker 6: that you do good negotiating so that you get the
Speaker 6: best financing terms possible so that you don't end up
Speaker 6: overpaying for this price of land, because if that's the case,
Speaker 6: you hustling backwards. So negotiate. Make sure that you got
Speaker 6: your best negotiator doing the negotiating, and you don't lose
Speaker 6: your shirt because you're financing an exorberate interest rate, you're
Speaker 6: putting too much money down. Any of those things can
Speaker 6: be a bad situation, So negotiate, negotiate, negotiate, and make
Speaker 6: sure final note that the owner owns the property outright. Ideally,
Speaker 6: if the owner doesn't own the property outright, don't buy it.
Speaker 6: If the property itself has a mortgage on it, that's
Speaker 6: going to be more than the down payment you're going
Speaker 6: to pay, because when you pay that down payment, you
Speaker 6: want that down payment to clear the mortgage. Noe out.
Speaker 6: That way, you can end up with the deed in
Speaker 6: your name from that moment you leave the closing table.
Speaker 6: That deed being in your name means it's your property.
Speaker 6: You can get USDA farm benefits, you can get all
Speaker 6: of the things that you need. But as long as
Speaker 6: there's a mortgage on that property in that seller's name,
Speaker 6: this deal is a no go. In most states, you
Speaker 6: can't have a property and sell it while you still
Speaker 6: have a mortgage on it, So be mindful that that
Speaker 6: mortgage needs to get cleared, and if it can't get cleared,
Speaker 6: it needs to be assumed, and you need to go
Speaker 6: through the process of legally assuming that mortgage with the
Speaker 6: mortgage holder and do it the right way because you
Speaker 6: do not want to lose your money. Private money lenders
Speaker 6: highest interest rates, hands down, that's not the way to
Speaker 6: go if you can avoid it, but it's easier to
Speaker 6: get most cases. It's based on the deal. And you
Speaker 6: can also get private money from family and friends if
Speaker 6: you are lucky enough to have people who are financially
Speaker 6: astute and who have savings and are interested and able
Speaker 6: to invest in deals like land deills and new construction opportunities.
Speaker 6: So if you have somebody in your circle, go get
Speaker 6: that private money. First, negotiate, negotiate, negotiate, win win right,
Speaker 6: And if you don't have private money available to you
Speaker 6: in your own personal network, you can go to a
Speaker 6: hard money lender. Hard money lenders are essentially borrowing the
Speaker 6: money of all the people in their network to be
Speaker 6: able to make loans to you at exorberant interest rates.
Speaker 6: A good interpest rate for somebody who has a pretty
Speaker 6: good credit score who wants to bus and move before
Speaker 6: their business has been in business for at least six months.
Speaker 6: Because typically all of these financing options, except for seller financing,
Speaker 6: you're going to want to be in business for at
Speaker 6: least six months, unless you are doing a farming business
Speaker 6: in which you can use a USDA startup loan to
Speaker 6: fund your land purchase and your farming operational expenses. But
Speaker 6: otherwise you are going to need to have been in
Speaker 6: business for at least six months, unless you're again going
Speaker 6: with a hard money lender. If not your heart, your
Speaker 6: heart money lender is going to look at the credit
Speaker 6: score of the primary or the managing partner. If that
Speaker 6: person has like a seven hundred credit score or better,
Speaker 6: you don't have to have been in business for six months. Again,
Speaker 6: typically the deal will dictate the private money lenders situation
Speaker 6: where you might not need to have good credit, but
Speaker 6: you definitely need to go and have these conversations again
Speaker 6: negotiating with your private money lenders. My favorite private money
Speaker 6: lender is Direct Lending Partners. They typically do not do
Speaker 6: deals on land. Most private money lenders or hard money
Speaker 6: lenders do not do deals on just land, but again,
Speaker 6: this is America. Anything is possible when you negotiate and
Speaker 6: open your mouth. Crowdfunding less hoops, less successful crowdfunding. When
Speaker 6: we started our when we decided to purchase land and
Speaker 6: we were looking at Toomsboro, we went on to go
Speaker 6: fund me and we looked and seen about fifteen or
Speaker 6: twenty crowdfunding campaigns of people trying to fundraise the one
Speaker 6: point seven million dollars for the city of Tombsborough. Right,
Speaker 6: crickets on all of the crowdfunding, Like, nobody raised more
Speaker 6: than like a thousand dollars on any of these crowdfunding
Speaker 6: website on this GoFundMe. So crowdfunding, while everybody gets really
Speaker 6: excited about it as an option, it's not usually successful
Speaker 6: unless you're very strategic and you have a huge marketing
Speaker 6: campaign and a great story. We were able to raise
Speaker 6: over eighty seven thousand. We're almost close to our eighty
Speaker 6: eight thousand dollars goal, and we use that as a
Speaker 6: kind of like a building fund where we were able
Speaker 6: to clear our land and put down gravel and you know,
Speaker 6: lay down areas for us to do our pavilions and
Speaker 6: our stages and all those types of things. And so
Speaker 6: that was a long and hard process to raise eighty
Speaker 6: eight thousand dollars and we still haven't reached our goal.
Speaker 6: So I crowdfunding is an option. It doesn't take a
Speaker 6: lot other than a strong story and marketing campaign, but
Speaker 6: they don't tend to go as far or be as
Speaker 6: successful as you would like them to be. And it
Speaker 6: takes a ton of money to be able to genuinely
Speaker 6: develop large projects, especially when they don't have, you know,
Speaker 6: connection to certain infrastructure. So crowdfunding is definitely a later choice.
Speaker 6: And then there is regulation crowdfunding, which you can raise
Speaker 6: up to one million and seventy thousand dollars. I'm not
Speaker 6: very familiar with crowdfunding, and I would love if Troy
Speaker 6: and Rashad could get somebody who has done some crowdfunding
Speaker 6: in the ey L University at some point, because yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah, we did Chriscentegal, Chris Sinegal, and I'm sure he'll
Speaker 8: come back again and get he could do it.
Speaker 3: We can do a class on crowdfunding for sure.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he had a very he had a.
Speaker 8: Very successful crowdfunding campaign that they raised over a million dollars.
Speaker 6: See what I'm saying, So we I can't speak to that,
Speaker 6: but that right there, this is how we really start
Speaker 6: to develop land. So that's something that you guys are
Speaker 6: gonna come back, have to become earners and come back
Speaker 6: and get this class when it comes. All right, So
Speaker 6: let's get to the bill. The discovery period. There's a
Speaker 6: master planning period, there's a design phase, a construction and marketing.
Speaker 6: Discovery starting from scratch means you need to discover the
Speaker 6: limitations and the restrictions of the land. I saw somebody
Speaker 6: in the comments say something about feasibility studies. That's this
Speaker 6: moment of discovery, right. You can do a feasibility study
Speaker 6: before you buy the land, but that's a whole lot
Speaker 6: of money to put into something and then decide not
Speaker 6: to buy it or go forth. If you study the area,
Speaker 6: you do your due diligence, you know what's happening in
Speaker 6: the community. You've got to clear vision when you purchase
Speaker 6: that land. You can do your feasibility study after the fact.
Speaker 6: Because developing land is really a lengthy process. It's not
Speaker 6: an overnight success type situation. It's going to cost for
Speaker 6: a civil engineer to come in to study the grading
Speaker 6: and the slopes of the land. There's gonna be someone
Speaker 6: who goes and drills into the dirt to see how
Speaker 6: much weight the dirt can withstand, so you know how
Speaker 6: high you can build and what you can build and
Speaker 6: what kind of materials there's going to be best based
Speaker 6: on the climate. I'm skipping ahead, but ultimately this discovery
Speaker 6: period is where you're gonna get your topographical survey done
Speaker 6: and you're gonna want to understand the demographics of the area. Again,
Speaker 6: what the median income is, our people graduating from college,
Speaker 6: is the crime rates high? All that good stuff. So
Speaker 6: that is your discovery period, your master planning period. This
Speaker 6: is where you're a person that you hired as your
Speaker 6: master planner looks at where we're gonna put everything at
Speaker 6: the infrastructure and the roles ingress and egress means how
Speaker 6: you go into the neighborhood, how you go out of
Speaker 6: the neighborhood, how you go into your driveway, how you
Speaker 6: go out of your driveway, waste management, stormwater runoff. They're
Speaker 6: gonna plan all of these things. You are not the
Speaker 6: person that does that. There's a master planner, a developer
Speaker 6: or architect, a civil engineer. There are a team of
Speaker 6: experts that sit down and do your master planning. If
Speaker 6: you're doing a large scale project. If you're doing a
Speaker 6: smaller scale project, you still need the same people, but
Speaker 6: you might be able to work with a boutique company
Speaker 6: that has two, three four people. Maybe that we're in
Speaker 6: the same hats. Master planning happens. Nonetheless, master planning can
Speaker 6: cost anywhere from one hundred and fifty dollars to seven
Speaker 6: fifty an hour, depending on the experience of the master planner,
Speaker 6: and so you could be looking again depending on the
Speaker 6: amount of the acreage of the project. Are we talking
Speaker 6: about developing ten acres of land, one acre of land?
Speaker 6: Are we talking about developing four hundred acres of land?
Speaker 6: That master plan to lay out those streets, those roads,
Speaker 6: all of that's designed from the information they got in discovery,
Speaker 6: from that topography report. They're gonna do all of that,
Speaker 6: and it can cost anywhere from ten to fifty thousand
Speaker 6: or more, depending on how much land you are getting
Speaker 6: planned and who the planner is. Design phase Designing is
Speaker 6: the next step to your development process. This goes beyond
Speaker 6: that initial discovery phase into building homes and structures and
Speaker 6: retail and commercial based on the climate the area, the
Speaker 6: needs of the citizens. Areas that are prone to like
Speaker 6: tornadoes and hurricanes, they will require different kind of building
Speaker 6: materials than places that are dry and don't have those
Speaker 6: type of climate changes and issues. So all of that
Speaker 6: can increase the cost of what you're designing. And this
Speaker 6: is where you can make a lot of money or
Speaker 6: lose a lot of money because you can overly design
Speaker 6: and you design something that's too high end for the area,
Speaker 6: and now you're not selling because it was not the
Speaker 6: kind of design for this neighborhood, community and culture. Purchasing
Speaker 6: land where there's wetlands, deep valleys, other tope of gathphical channel.
Speaker 6: That's going to create larger budgets because now you're talking
Speaker 6: about building bridges and how you lay in your foundation.
Speaker 6: So all of that stuff is a part of the
Speaker 6: design fast and it's going to create and have a
Speaker 6: certain budget that will change according to the complexity of
Speaker 6: the design and the uh, what's the word I want
Speaker 6: to use, the style, the aesthetic of it, Okay, construction.
Speaker 6: This is the second to the last stage of the
Speaker 6: rawland development process. In most cases, it's going to be
Speaker 6: the first year horizontal development. That's the grading of your roles,
Speaker 6: that's the curves, that's utilities. Eventually, you know you're gonna
Speaker 6: start building the property from the ground up. When you
Speaker 6: looking for a contract or your construction team, they're gonna
Speaker 6: get paid in increment from your construction loan, and once
Speaker 6: they have gotten all of the construction done, you're ready
Speaker 6: to go onto the next phase. And construction again can
Speaker 6: take longer timeframes based on the complexity of the design,
Speaker 6: the materials. Chant leaks in the supply chain or of
Speaker 6: trying to get certain materials to you. If you have
Speaker 6: certain materials that you are using because you're committed to
Speaker 6: green building, or you have a high end design, all
Speaker 6: of that can lead to higher budgets and costs. When
Speaker 6: you're looking for a contractor or contractors, you can google
Speaker 6: what state, what city you're in. If you want to
Speaker 6: hire you know a minority contractor, a black contractor. Google that.
Speaker 6: Put Georgia Minority Contractors Association, put Florida Black Chamber of Commerce,
Speaker 6: put DC Business League into the results. Call them up
Speaker 6: and find a reputable contractor if you don't already have
Speaker 6: someone you know. In branding and marketing, that's the last
Speaker 6: stage once you've gotten your building done. Before you've gotten
Speaker 6: your building done, to be perfectly honest, branding and marketing
Speaker 6: is what's going to sell this community that you just
Speaker 6: invested your time, energy and money into. Branding is how
Speaker 6: you sell, tell the story of why you built it,
Speaker 6: and attract your ideal residents to the community. And marketing
Speaker 6: is that active placement of materials and formats that will
Speaker 6: allow them to see that story and get that story
Speaker 6: in front of the masses so I can show you
Speaker 6: better than I can tell you that. I'm going to
Speaker 6: take you to a community right here in Georgia that's
Speaker 6: dope in marketing. This is called Trillist. This is a
Speaker 6: community that's been being built over the last ten years.
Speaker 6: It's actually a community that was founded by a production
Speaker 6: studio called Pinewood Studios. It's in Fayetteville, Georgia. This marketing
Speaker 6: is what attracts their ideal client. Their values is what
Speaker 6: attracts their ideal client. The community that they are building
Speaker 6: is for makers, entrepreneurs, and storytellers where they can fine
Speaker 6: fulfillment in every way. This is branding a community tailor
Speaker 6: made for storytellers. Well, it was a studio that purchased
Speaker 6: land built it up, similar to what Tyler Perry did
Speaker 6: when he purchased land in East Point to build Tyler
Speaker 6: Perry Studios. They built a community that economic development. It's
Speaker 6: got restaurants in there, homes and so when you are
Speaker 6: considering land development and what you're buying, things happen in phases.
Speaker 6: And so I wanted to show you this because when
Speaker 6: you start talking about doing a land project, you have
Speaker 6: to have vision and you have to know where you're going.
Speaker 6: So I wanted to show you, guys Trillis and I'm
Speaker 6: going to show you got close that door. Please start,
Speaker 6: thank you, yes man, Sarenbi Georgia again. Marketing. It just
Speaker 6: looks like the kind of place where you want to live. Right,
Speaker 6: They got goats. So when you start thinking about your project,
Speaker 6: begin with the end of mind and think about who's
Speaker 6: going to live here, and build for them, and build
Speaker 6: in a way that the story is compelling. That's what
Speaker 6: we're doing with Freedom Georgia. All right, now, I'm going
Speaker 6: to take you guys to the final stage. And I
Speaker 6: got three minutes before we go to questions, some insight
Speaker 6: and inspiration. Don't wait for opportunities to come, get up
Speaker 6: and make them, Madam CJ. Walker. The charter chartering a city.
Speaker 6: Listen if you are interested in chartering a city hit
Speaker 6: me up. But the reality is, as we begin to
Speaker 6: be more strategic and work these ideas and principles of
Speaker 6: group economics and collective economics, and we're building collectively communities
Speaker 6: that are safe, that are driving the logical next step
Speaker 6: is a city charter. A city charter is going to
Speaker 6: open you up for benefits that will give you more
Speaker 6: control over your community long term when it comes to
Speaker 6: how your community is developed, police, the zoning, the ordinances,
Speaker 6: the health outcomes, how money that gets sent down from
Speaker 6: the federal government to the state government gets distributed is
Speaker 6: based on these cities and their populations and density. So
Speaker 6: we really got to look at how being a city
Speaker 6: and taking these developments where we're building our own infrastructure,
Speaker 6: building our own culture of shared values. Then we turn
Speaker 6: go to the next step, which is a city charter
Speaker 6: and electing officials who are going to represent our values
Speaker 6: and do what's best for the residents that live in
Speaker 6: this city. This is called placemaking, is what we're doing.
Speaker 6: It's not just about land developing. This is about making
Speaker 6: places where people feel safe, where people have peace, protection, prosperity.
Speaker 6: And a city is a government structure that allows that
Speaker 6: to actually happen. So that's our next step. That's what
Speaker 6: we're going with this. So get strategic, work together with
Speaker 6: your comrades, with your partners, with your like minded business
Speaker 6: folks in the area, get with your economic development authority,
Speaker 6: get with your black chambers of commerces, and let's start
Speaker 6: building these cities according to our needs, our desires. This
Speaker 6: is how we be strategic. This is how we do this.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 8: Yeah, So that was that was powerful. Thank you, Thank you.
Speaker 8: That was that was an amazing presentation. So I don't
Speaker 8: want people to take that likely. It's like, you know,
Speaker 8: for all the years that we go to school, whether
Speaker 8: there's elementary, high school, college, even master degree programs. Me personally,
Speaker 8: I never, you know, was taught the process of buying
Speaker 8: land and this stuff is. You would think that this
Speaker 8: would be one of the key things that would consist
Speaker 8: of an educational experience because we all have to live
Speaker 8: somewhere and land is the key component of the planet Earth.
Speaker 8: And it never, it never was actually taught to ninety
Speaker 8: nine percent of us. So it's amazing that you were
Speaker 8: able to come on here and teach this and we're thankful,
Speaker 8: so thank you for that. And you know, it's also
Speaker 8: amazing that we was able just to even have this
Speaker 8: platform to actually educate people.
Speaker 3: And it's the very encouraging thing.
Speaker 8: And I'm sure everybody is extremely appreciative of it, but
Speaker 8: do not take it for granted. Sometimes when you when
Speaker 8: you get things and it's free, you don't fully appreciate it.
Speaker 8: But it's like, you know, this could have been Harvard,
Speaker 8: this could have been Yale, this could have been any
Speaker 8: any level of education. I would I would argue that
Speaker 8: this was this was right up there and better than
Speaker 8: when anybody else could have done, whether Oxford, anywhere in
Speaker 8: the world.
Speaker 3: So that's that's extremely powerful.
Speaker 8: And now, like I said, this kind of information can
Speaker 8: literally change the trajectory of our you know, existence in
Speaker 8: this country and is something that we have not known.
Speaker 3: About for hundreds of years, for centuries.
Speaker 8: So now that we're coming into this information, it's important
Speaker 8: that a we learn as much as possible, we apply it,
Speaker 8: and also we work together as a group. So yeah,
Speaker 8: that's that's something that is extremely extremely powerful.
Speaker 3: So once again, thank you.
Speaker 8: So what we're gonna what we're gonna go into now
Speaker 8: is question answers for about twenty minutes. So once again
Speaker 8: if anybody joined late. This is a special edition of
Speaker 8: eyl University. So once a month, every single month. So
Speaker 8: with eyl.
Speaker 3: University, we're educational platform.
Speaker 8: Outside what you see on the podcast, the podcasts are
Speaker 8: episodes where you learn a lot. This is more of
Speaker 8: a hands on learning experience. So every single Wednesday at
Speaker 8: eight o'clock Eastern Standard time, we bring experts from the
Speaker 8: field in and they teach a class via zoom and
Speaker 8: it's on everything everything from how to wholesale real estate,
Speaker 8: to how to analyze the real estate. They'll investing, cryptocurrency,
Speaker 8: you name it. We've had a class and we're going
Speaker 8: to have more classes. And then that's every week. And
Speaker 8: then every other Sunday is our book club headed up
Speaker 8: by Troy. And then the alternate Sunday is MG no
Speaker 8: mortgage guy. He has a real estate call. And then
Speaker 8: once a month I do a financial planning call. So
Speaker 8: those are all the things that are in existence of
Speaker 8: EYL University now right now. But as I said, we're
Speaker 8: actually we're putting Eyo University the undergrad department as you
Speaker 8: know it, We're gonna we're gonna end it this This
Speaker 8: will be the last week of Eyo University as you
Speaker 8: know it. We're taking a winter break for two weeks
Speaker 8: and then we're coming back in twenty twenty one. We're
Speaker 8: coming back in twenty twenty one with a whole revamped product.
Speaker 8: We're gonna have a professor series where we're bringing in
Speaker 8: experts to teach classes four times a year. So it's
Speaker 8: not just gonna be one off because sometimes it's hard
Speaker 8: to learn with just a one off class, So we're
Speaker 8: gonna do four different classes. This business is gonna teach
Speaker 8: about taxes, ash cash, you gonna teach about financial literacy.
Speaker 8: Brandon Rule will teach about real estates, so being will
Speaker 8: teach about all things legal. Quentin Martin will be our
Speaker 8: investor teacher. Kwalame Uncle will teach about a variety of
Speaker 8: different business topics. And Credit do will teach about the
Speaker 8: world of credit. And actually I heard it might be
Speaker 8: interested in being a professor also, so I don't want
Speaker 8: to put her on the spot, but I.
Speaker 6: Already said I am down.
Speaker 8: Let me ask you this, because you're you're a member
Speaker 8: of uy University, how has your experience been so far?
Speaker 3: You just joined a couple of days ago.
Speaker 6: Behind you, it was not a couple of days ago.
Speaker 6: It's been a couple of weeks, thank you very much.
Speaker 6: Don't trying to play me like I just signed up,
Speaker 6: Like I just jumped on your bandwagon. Bro Okay, I
Speaker 6: actually signed up. After I did the first E Y
Speaker 6: L University with y'all, one of my partners, Greg Mullen,
Speaker 6: shot out to him, shout to cav this, shout out
Speaker 6: to keV. He's also Erner. So I was like, oh,
Speaker 6: I can't have Kevin and Greg getting all this good
Speaker 6: information without me. So yeah, it's been a great experience.
Speaker 6: Like I've just been going hard in the real estate section.
Speaker 6: But it's like so many classes, Like I'm not even
Speaker 6: like it's too much. I'm like it's a lot. Like
Speaker 6: it's stuff. I've watched two classes. I literally sat there
Speaker 6: like taking notes, and I was blown away by the
Speaker 6: level of information and insight that I was able to get.
Speaker 6: As somebody who know a little something, you know, I
Speaker 6: still was able to learn, which is really cool.
Speaker 5: We always we're always gonna over deliver an under promise.
Speaker 5: That's that's that's kind of how we live in right now.
Speaker 3: And it's like the.
Speaker 8: Most the most successful people always are investing themselves in uh.
Speaker 8: But actually obviously she's an extremely intelligent person and she's like, yo.
Speaker 3: I want to be an earner.
Speaker 8: I'm not I'm not above being a member of Eyo University.
Speaker 3: And she joined.
Speaker 8: I didn't even know she was joining. She joined and
Speaker 8: she became a member, and she she's studying herself. So
Speaker 8: that's that's dope, and that's that says a lot. So
Speaker 8: thank you for that. So we're going to get to questions.
Speaker 8: But before we do, like I said, this, this is
Speaker 8: the last thing that we're gonna do for ey University.
Speaker 8: This this uh this year. On Monday, we're changing it
Speaker 8: and then we're gonna come back January first. If you're
Speaker 8: interested in joining Eyo University, Like I said, we're revamping
Speaker 8: this whole thing. We with the revamp, everything is changing,
Speaker 8: including the price. The price is gonna double because we
Speaker 8: have we're paying professors now, we got a full time admin.
Speaker 8: Everything is changing. We're really really taking it to the
Speaker 8: next level. If you joined today, it's forty percent off,
Speaker 8: which is four four hundred dollars for the entire year,
Speaker 8: including seventy classes, all stuff I just named your grandfathered
Speaker 8: them for that price.
Speaker 3: Next year.
Speaker 8: And yeah, so this is the last forty eight hours.
Speaker 8: You got forty eight hours before that changes. So if
Speaker 8: you're interested, I pinned it in YouTube. It's Eyo University
Speaker 8: dot Com into promo code freedom at the end at checkout.
Speaker 8: And I mean, like, realistically, four hundred dollars, that's that's
Speaker 8: like a that's a good dinner with two people in
Speaker 8: New York City. That's a good dinner, two people, a
Speaker 8: bottle of wine. So to have this level of education,
Speaker 8: I think that we there's nothing comparable to it, especially
Speaker 8: for that price point. I mean, people charge ten thousand dollars,
Speaker 8: nine thousand dollars for that level of education for a
Speaker 8: lot less. A lot less actually is.
Speaker 7: I always say, man, there's there's no platform that has
Speaker 7: this much information in so many different areas.
Speaker 5: Man. So like you said, this is this is this
Speaker 5: in college.
Speaker 7: This is like two textbooks that you're not even gonna
Speaker 7: use because they're gonna give you a new version of
Speaker 7: it the next semester.
Speaker 3: So Ashley.
Speaker 8: Ashley's presentation was a book that was actly like a book,
Speaker 8: like if you if you put that in book for him,
Speaker 8: that's about one hundred and forty pages.
Speaker 5: And that was a scaled down version.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's crazy. That's crazy.
Speaker 8: So so yeah, we're interested in having all you guys
Speaker 8: join is pinned.
Speaker 3: I'll put it back into YouTube.
Speaker 8: It's Eyo University dot Com into promo code freedom, and
Speaker 8: the price will be doubling. It's the first time the
Speaker 8: price is ever double. But we can do that in
Speaker 8: good conscious because we're giving you your heads up. So
Speaker 8: we're giving your heads up that the price is doubling
Speaker 8: in two days. So, Troy, let's get a couple of questions.
Speaker 7: I'm going I'm going to my man. Let's see John Palmer.
Speaker 7: I'm mute yourself.
Speaker 5: You've been on mute.
Speaker 7: He's been putting questions in the chat. He's been really
Speaker 7: locked in. So John, what's going on?
Speaker 10: Yeah, sir, are you doing this?
Speaker 5: Even the fellas?
Speaker 10: Excellent man, excellent presentation.
Speaker 5: Actually, I really appreciate.
Speaker 10: The value you were putting out.
Speaker 3: So definitely.
Speaker 10: Uh So, I had a question in regards to which
Speaker 10: I think actually kind of covered but getting lenders who
Speaker 10: are to say if it's developed land. I was having
Speaker 10: a hard time recently trying to find ones who are
Speaker 10: financing and I had a bad experience with with one
Speaker 10: in North Carolina. So if you have any type of
Speaker 10: i say, advice on how to bounce back something like that,
Speaker 10: I'm I'm all airs to that, but I just want
Speaker 10: to kind of, you know, share my experience and see
Speaker 10: if you have drew any alternative ways to finance things
Speaker 10: as you As she mentioned, it's you know, there's different ways.
Speaker 5: But it gets you know, it could be an uphill battle.
Speaker 10: So that was really my question.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so institution, Thanks John for listening, Thanks for your question.
Speaker 6: Institutional funding is hard. It's the hardest one to get.
Speaker 6: You have to be pristine, you have to have a
Speaker 6: strong business plan, you have to have a track record,
Speaker 6: and for a lot of folks that ain't us, right,
Speaker 6: So you have to be strategic by partnering with someone
Speaker 6: who does have that track record and really putting together
Speaker 6: a solid proposal for especially affordable housing right options. Because
Speaker 6: if you're not really talking about what the major need
Speaker 6: is right now, institutional lenders aren't really interested, especially being
Speaker 6: as though we're in the midst of a pandemic. These
Speaker 6: COVID cautions is what people are taking. They don't want
Speaker 6: to invest in someone who's never done this before. So
Speaker 6: your best bet is going to go be seller financing
Speaker 6: going to also be in getting private money, reaching out
Speaker 6: to your network of people who you know, who like
Speaker 6: no one trusts you, who know you have a good
Speaker 6: business mind, and again, having that really solid business plan
Speaker 6: is how you're going to be able to even attract
Speaker 6: those people. You can't ask your family and friends for money,
Speaker 6: and your plans not solid either, Like if you can't
Speaker 6: get it from the bank, you definitely aint gonna get
Speaker 6: it from your mama if your plans aren't solid. So
Speaker 6: you definitely should look to seller financing as an option
Speaker 6: and just don't give up. Keep plugging at it and
Speaker 6: refining your plan and talking to more developers, more contractors,
Speaker 6: get really involved if you're not already with a chamber
Speaker 6: of commerce or a development authority, so you can start
Speaker 6: networking and building more solid relationships with some of the
Speaker 6: institutional funders and people who might be in a position
Speaker 6: to help you make it happen.
Speaker 7: Appreciate, appreciate you, John, Thanks ash Oh, we're going to
Speaker 7: the H town. We're going to I haven't heard from
Speaker 7: my boys so long, Darius, what's going on?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 5: Mute yourself you've been unmuted.
Speaker 3: Hey, what's going on? What's going on? In my ladder clip. Yeah,
Speaker 3: b you're good bro.
Speaker 5: That's what's up.
Speaker 11: Hey, For everybody that's listening, For everybody that's listening, I
Speaker 11: just want to piggyback a little bit off of rope
Speaker 11: for Shad said, man, come and join Wakanda man. Following
Speaker 11: E y L on social media is just not enough.
Speaker 11: Following on YouTube is just not enough. Come and join
Speaker 11: the gang. Like real talk, were waiting on.
Speaker 5: Y'all facts, facts, my god, real though.
Speaker 3: We're waiting on y'all.
Speaker 11: My My question for our teacher is this right here.
Speaker 11: I'm personally kind of uncomfortable with the concept of pure
Speaker 11: land investing, right and just just from the perspective of
Speaker 11: it doesn't produce cash flow immediately. But I know there
Speaker 11: is a sub market of it, which you kind of
Speaker 11: spoke to a little bit, and that's the minerals. As
Speaker 11: far as going into land for the purpose of generating income,
Speaker 11: and I know that the main way of doing that
Speaker 11: is through minerals. Is that a difficult thing to accomplish,
Speaker 11: of focusing specifically on land that has valuable minerals associated
Speaker 11: with it.
Speaker 6: It's not that it's hard, it's like anything else that's
Speaker 6: got a business. You have to know the business. You're
Speaker 6: going to have to put together a business plan. You're
Speaker 6: going to have to hire the consultants to people who
Speaker 6: are going to actually help you to mind for the minerals,
Speaker 6: and mining is a whole process, and you're still going
Speaker 6: to need some kind of institutional funding to get the
Speaker 6: manufacturing or excuse me, the equipment that you're going to
Speaker 6: need and hire the people and the team to do it. So, yeah,
Speaker 6: it's not going to be an immediate return on investment.
Speaker 6: It's going to be more investment. And typically land that
Speaker 6: does have minerals on it, those minerals have been spoken for,
Speaker 6: unless you are discovering those minerals for the first time
Speaker 6: on the land that you're buying, and typically that's going
Speaker 6: to come out in discovery. And if you come across
Speaker 6: a precious mineral of some use while you are doing
Speaker 6: your discovery period checking the soil, drilling and all that jazz,
Speaker 6: then you'll be able to utilize those mineral rights. But
Speaker 6: sometimes those industries are all sewn up and people have
Speaker 6: been working in those industries for so long that they
Speaker 6: have the ability to potentially box you out. So you
Speaker 6: just need to do your due diligence when you're looking
Speaker 6: at that. Everything at the end of the day is
Speaker 6: going to be do your research, find people you can trust,
Speaker 6: and be mindful that if you do find minerals, it's
Speaker 6: going to likely come after the purchase.
Speaker 5: Gotcha, appreciate you guys. Gotcha, bro I was looking.
Speaker 7: I was looking on landflip dot com. Man, Texas got
Speaker 7: a lot of land. We're gonna have to talk.
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, we got we got hundreds of thousands of
Speaker 11: acres available in Texas.
Speaker 6: You might find some oil. So like that's where the
Speaker 6: mineral rights can't come and play real good. But typically
Speaker 6: if there was already mineral rights, if they found that
Speaker 6: mineral right, that oil there, they got that locked up.
Speaker 6: They're not selling you that land in those mineral rights too.
Speaker 6: That's just not unless, like it's unheard of. It's possible
Speaker 6: any days, possible because this is American.
Speaker 7: Shout to Timmy. In the chat, she said her family
Speaker 7: has mineral rights on their land. There's an earner with
Speaker 7: with with the mineral rights. Shout out to you, Timmy,
Speaker 7: well kind of forever. Right, Let's go to Jennifer Green.
Speaker 7: I'm mute yourself. You've been on you to what's going on.
Speaker 6: Hello, Thanks again Ashley for all of the information you shared. So,
Speaker 6: I have a pretty decent situation going. My father recently,
Speaker 6: about a year and a half ago, gave me about
Speaker 6: fifteen acres of land in Georgia. It's cool, thank you.
Speaker 6: So he he gave.
Speaker 12: It to me basically and was like, you do what
Speaker 12: you want to do with it right now. It's in
Speaker 12: my name and my brother's name, and I'm currently paying
Speaker 12: just I think my.
Speaker 6: Taxes every year about five hundred dollars.
Speaker 12: So basically I'm kind of at a standstill about what
Speaker 12: i want to do with this land. And being that
Speaker 12: it's in a a it's in a completely rural area.
Speaker 12: It's outside of the city limits of Fort Valley, Georgia,
Speaker 12: which is Little Georgia, and I'm kind of leaning towards
Speaker 12: the whole situation with like using the land to grow trees.
Speaker 6: Yes, that was what I was gonna tell you out
Speaker 6: my mouth. So, yeah, that's what I was going to
Speaker 6: ask you about.
Speaker 12: If you had any experience or if you have any resources,
Speaker 12: I've got some insights.
Speaker 6: So let me tell you first and foremost, the thing
Speaker 6: you want to get with is the USDA's Department of Forestry,
Speaker 6: the Georgia Department of Forestry. You want to also get
Speaker 6: a farm land number, a Georgia Farmland number with the
Speaker 6: Georgia Department with the USDA. What you want to do is,
Speaker 6: if you haven't done so already, you put your land
Speaker 6: and what's known as a Conservation Use COUVA is what
Speaker 6: they call it agreement that's going to save you an
Speaker 6: immense amount of money on your taxes. It's a ten
Speaker 6: year program. But while you're growing your trees, the Georgia
Speaker 6: Department of Forestry you will pay you to plant the trees,
Speaker 6: to grow the trees, and the minute that the trees
Speaker 6: have matured, you cut those trees down. At the end
Speaker 6: of your COUVA agreement and you can to do it
Speaker 6: again or sell the land.
Speaker 1: Mmmm.
Speaker 8: That's a whole lot of game, yo, that's a free
Speaker 8: a whole lot of game. That's a whole lot of
Speaker 8: game right there.
Speaker 5: Sell the trees. So it's called a KOVA agreement ce
Speaker 5: u v A.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's the conservation use agreement. That's your tech how
Speaker 6: you get text and you save on your text. It's
Speaker 6: almost sixty percent annually.
Speaker 8: I hope y'all soaking up this game right here. Man,
Speaker 8: this is this is crazy. This is crazy. That's crazy.
Speaker 7: Let's see, Uh, Shannon, were coming to you. I'm you yourself.
Speaker 7: You've been a muted Jennifer, thank you.
Speaker 5: For that question.
Speaker 7: Oh so actually when we give them some time. But
Speaker 7: there's something we call no fridge breaks. So if you
Speaker 7: if you, if you got up to go to the
Speaker 7: fridge and we called on you, then we got we
Speaker 7: gotta go to the next person. So I'm gonna go
Speaker 7: to the next person. Uh Neia, Mayah, we coming to you. I'
Speaker 7: mute yourself. You've been unmuted.
Speaker 5: Piece to the guys, piece of the guys. You know.
Speaker 13: I want to thank everybody, especially Uyl. I've learned so much.
Speaker 13: You know, I've been an earner for about two months.
Speaker 13: But to get straight to Ashley, my family has land
Speaker 13: in Georgia, over one hundred acres. We've had at lease
Speaker 13: on that particular land for three years with a cotton company,
Speaker 13: King Cotton. The lease is up and now the question
Speaker 13: is the fact that the land has already been cultivated.
Speaker 13: Is it still I guess ideal or is it what's
Speaker 13: the will be the process? Or is there some type
Speaker 13: of way for us to develop it and build a city.
Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, it's a cost analysis that you have
Speaker 6: to look at.
Speaker 5: Ok.
Speaker 6: So if you wanted to build and are you you're
Speaker 6: in Georgia. So it takes six hundred and forty acres
Speaker 6: to build an actual city. So the one hundred acres
Speaker 6: for us was just to start, and you gotta get
Speaker 6: at least a mile rate in order to actually build
Speaker 6: a city. You can absolutely build a community, a subdivision, development,
Speaker 6: little town, but for you to get city hood status
Speaker 6: is going to take a few more factors, and having
Speaker 6: at least six hundred and forty acres is the land requirement, right.
Speaker 6: But beyond that the lease, you can continue to lease
Speaker 6: certain areas and work in phases. So instead of taking
Speaker 6: all hundred acres and trying to do something new, start
Speaker 6: with like ten acres and build a little subdivision. Then
Speaker 6: you see how that goes, and then you do that
Speaker 6: and then you get some experience because the more experience, right, right,
Speaker 6: the better rates you get, the more opportunities you get,
Speaker 6: the more leverage. Right. So I wouldn't jet I would
Speaker 6: the fact that you have the lease, especially if they
Speaker 6: plan on renewing the lease, that's money in the hand,
Speaker 6: Like we always know, a bird in the hand is
Speaker 6: better than two in the bush. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you
Speaker 6: definitely want to look at Okay, when I renew this
Speaker 6: land lease, we're gonna, you know, let's go ahead and
Speaker 6: subdivide ten acres out because we're gonna go ahead and
Speaker 6: start developing on this first ten acres in time, you
Speaker 6: know what.
Speaker 13: And I really appreciate you saying that, because we were
Speaker 13: leaning towards that, because we were obviously inspired by the
Speaker 13: nineteen families purchasing a city saying where this is for us?
Speaker 13: You know. And I've studied case law for about six
Speaker 13: years now, and there's actually a case law of a
Speaker 13: senator in Florida back in like nineteen thirty or something
Speaker 13: like that. Right, he had a land that turned into
Speaker 13: a park after his death, but he put it under
Speaker 13: a trust, and a trust in denshed agreement basically stated, hey,
Speaker 13: this land is strictly for whites, but if we deemed necessary,
Speaker 13: we allow other races to you know, participate on our
Speaker 13: national park. And it got to a point to where,
Speaker 13: you know, he passed on and then the city had
Speaker 13: to live out his trust, his indenttional agreement, and they
Speaker 13: was like, listen, hey, no more blacks is allowed, and
Speaker 13: blacks were, you know, protesting people was hating him, trying
Speaker 13: to figure out what why we can't come on this
Speaker 13: land and fighting it, and they lost in court once
Speaker 13: they read the indentital agreement saying, hey, this man put
Speaker 13: this land under a trust and it's specifically for white
Speaker 13: use only.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 13: So once I read that case law, I realized the
Speaker 13: power and trust and owning the land, you know. So,
Speaker 13: but I appreciate that though. We really, I really just
Speaker 13: learned a lot.
Speaker 5: Thank you, and I appreciate you.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 5: We just got a whole social studies lesson. Man.
Speaker 6: Right, Look, you're like, I'm like, okay, case law.
Speaker 7: You know, you never know what's going to happen on
Speaker 7: here many.
Speaker 3: A case law. What he said, whatever he said I
Speaker 3: believed at that point.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Actually, I just want to give you credit and your
Speaker 7: entire team. Man, y'all really changing the narrative. I don't
Speaker 7: know how many dms or messages we got about people
Speaker 7: wanting to get involved there's a project like this, So
Speaker 7: I want to just publicly thank you for that. So
Speaker 7: anybody that has not listened to episode one, O, wait, shatty.
Speaker 5: You want to say you.
Speaker 3: Please doing yourself with tremendous disservice. That's the fact.
Speaker 7: Let's go to Leslie. Leslie was going on on mute yourself.
Speaker 7: You've been unmuted.
Speaker 6: Hello.
Speaker 9: Hello, my name's Leslie Valencia. I'm a city planner by trade.
Speaker 9: I am I studied it, but I'm very new doing
Speaker 9: it as a profession. I don't want to say the name,
Speaker 9: but I'm a city planner with one of the most
Speaker 9: popular cities in the Bay Area, and I identify as
Speaker 9: an artist. I worked in cooperatives, I worked in the
Speaker 9: cannabis industry, and I have these big dreams of living intentionally.
Speaker 9: And you kind of answered the question previously, but I
Speaker 9: wanted to just get your I think you're brilliant, You're amazing.
Speaker 9: My dream is to create a community now. It is
Speaker 9: to create my own city, and I just want your
Speaker 9: advice on like, what would you what type of advice
Speaker 9: would you give someone like me? Because I know that
Speaker 9: I have this great opportunity. I have a lot of
Speaker 9: privilege right now, and I don't see myself being a
Speaker 9: city planner forever, and I just want to be really
Speaker 9: strategic about what I need to learn and what I
Speaker 9: need to absorb so that I can, you know, make
Speaker 9: my dreams come true. And I just want to thank
Speaker 9: you for being like an amazing inspiration.
Speaker 6: Oh thank you, Leslie. Well, I'm super excited for you, because,
Speaker 6: like people like you, Leslie, is how we get to
Speaker 6: build dream cities. You know, like we have to network,
Speaker 6: we have to be strategic. So one of the first things,
Speaker 6: if you aren't a part of the Federation of International Communities, Leslie,
Speaker 6: start there. It's a nonprofit organization that does a lot
Speaker 6: of work with intentional communities. I just did a wonderful
Speaker 6: bipod panel with them about living intentionally and so what
Speaker 6: I would suggest is to start building your strategic partnerships
Speaker 6: as early as possible, because that's really what's going to
Speaker 6: be how you succeed in your city planning, having all
Speaker 6: of your stakeholders and the people who have that expertise
Speaker 6: to help you build a community with those intentional values
Speaker 6: that you want. It takes those stakeholders' voices to really
Speaker 6: flesh out the vision of that plan. And so getting
Speaker 6: with you know, sustainability communities. One of the things that
Speaker 6: I'm involved in is the Black Sustainability summit again, those
Speaker 6: chambers of commerce, the development authority. Just building those strategic
Speaker 6: partnerships is the first place to start. And getting involved
Speaker 6: in associations as early as you can, such as the
Speaker 6: Municipal Corporation Association. Uh, there's the National City the National
Speaker 6: League of Cities. So get involved in those if you're
Speaker 6: you aren't already, and take the fact that you are
Speaker 6: already a city planner and use that to your advantage
Speaker 6: and get as much personal development as you possibly can
Speaker 6: and partner strategically with those community activists, those real estate agents,
Speaker 6: those people who are you know, on the ground, who
Speaker 6: are going to have relationships with the people that you're
Speaker 6: placemaking for.
Speaker 9: Thank you so much, josh Ley. I feel like I
Speaker 9: got all the pieces scattered everywhere, and you've really been
Speaker 9: hopeful and trying to piece them together. Thank you so much.
Speaker 6: You're welcome.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Ashley. I see you have a special guest.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean we got two for one wants.

Speaker 8: She's giving a mastermind presentation while still being a mom
Speaker 8: with her daughter in bed.
Speaker 3: She's about to put her daughter to bed.
Speaker 8: That's extremely that's that's if you really think about it,
Speaker 8: that's an extremely powerful visual right there. I'm sure her daughter,
Speaker 8: without even knowing, is soaking up so much information from
Speaker 8: her mom. And like I said, that's the power of
Speaker 8: a woman to be able to juggle and do so
Speaker 8: many different things. You know, if it was me, If
Speaker 8: it was me, I would be extremely stressed out at
Speaker 8: the moment. I would probably have my son like yo,
