Look into Farmers dot gov. That 22 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 2: is a great resource. When you are purchasing land. Institutional 23 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 2: funding is your typical funding. That's when you go to 24 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 2: Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Chase, or Citizens Trust Bank, 25 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 2: Unity Bank and you say, I want to buy this 26 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 2: piece of land, I would like to build a home 27 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 2: on it, and I would like to sell it. They've 28 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 2: got the best rates that it's the hardest to get, 29 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 2: so you're going to need to speak to multiple lenders, 30 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 2: and you're going to do best by starting with a 31 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 2: bank that you already have a relationship with. So this 32 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 2: goes without saying, before you try your hand at investing 33 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 2: in any land, you should be credit worthy. You should 34 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 2: have an exceptional credit score. You should have money and 35 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 2: savings in the bank. At least, you know, twenty five 36 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 2: percent of your disposable income should be saved in the 37 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 2: bank before you start buying land and investing in this way. Yes, 38 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 2: you can buy affordable land at affordable prices cash outright, 39 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 2: and if that's the strategy you want to do, by 40 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,119 Speaker 2: all means do it. But if you're going to do 41 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 2: a development project of scale, you're going to need institutional funding. 42 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 2: And to get the best rates and to even be 43 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 2: considered by a traditional lender, you are going to need 44 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 2: exceptional credit and experience that track record. Again, there's ways 45 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 2: to get around it if you don't have a track 46 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 2: record and no one on your team has a track record. 47 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 2: By partnering strategically with your constructor your excuse me, your builder, 48 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 2: your developer, speak with multiple lenders. Set up your LLC again, 49 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 2: talk to that strategy, that business consultant, that strategist, that 50 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 2: business attorney. Put your LLC into position by having the best, 51 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 2: most credit worthy people on your LLC, people who have 52 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 2: experience in maybe they have been a general contractor if 53 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 2: you have someone in your family or in your friend group, 54 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 2: use the people who are in the best position to 55 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 2: be able to go after institutional funding. If you do that, 56 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 2: seller financing is the better option if you know you'd 57 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 2: have less than perfect credit. 58 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 3: No ash, hold on ask because we got to hear that. 59 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 3: We gotta hear that. The good folks that zoom something 60 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 3: your sound kIPS going in and. 61 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 4: Out, they're trying to sensor you like your sound your asking, 62 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 4: can you repeat that because your sound yourself is cutting 63 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 4: off like every like ten minutes for like a minute. 64 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 5: I don't know. 65 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 4: I don't know what's going on, but can you can 66 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 4: you start back at the beginning of seller financing please? 67 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 3: We can't. We can't let that go on muted. 68 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 2: Yes, I apologize. I probably have an unstable internet connection. 69 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 4: It's all good any anytime, anytime. Let you do that again, 70 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 4: because we don't want anybody to miss any information. Like 71 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 4: when your sound goes out, we'll just start talking because 72 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 4: it's usually like only for like thirty seconds, So then 73 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 4: we'll start talking and then we could just bring you 74 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 4: back into just so whenever you hear it start talking, 75 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 4: just know that your sound cut out, and then we'll 76 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 4: just bring you back in when your sound comes back on. 77 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, because I got my know to ash and I'm like, wait, 78 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 3: what just happened? 79 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 5: Get the information? Hook a crook man, that's a fact. 80 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 3: Shout out to every Shout out to everybody that has 81 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 3: their hand raise. 82 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 5: We're gonna get to that. 83 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 3: When Ashley fins with the presentation, we see the questions, 84 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 3: We're gonna get to that, all. 85 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 2: Right, bet seller financing. What I was saying is it's 86 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 2: usually a better option because seller financing typically does not 87 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:30,919 Speaker 2: report to the credit bureaus. Sellers typically just want to 88 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 2: get their money, and as long as you pay them, 89 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 2: they have no reason to report to the credit bureaus. 90 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,919 Speaker 2: So that means your debt to income racial is not 91 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 2: going to change because that debt that you have on 92 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 2: that land is not going to be reported, so you 93 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 2: know it, but nobody else is gonna know it. So 94 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 2: seller financing means you could go and put loans out 95 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 2: on twenty properties real quick and start flipping them on 96 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 2: how you might see it as an opportunity, and your 97 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 2: debt to income reach is not going to change, and 98 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 2: you'll be able to move on your projects or get 99 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 2: institutional funding as needed or additional credit cards as needed 100 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 2: without these land deals being on your credit report and 101 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 2: pulling your debt to income ratio to a lower score. 102 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 2: So with seller financing is scamming season, so be careful. 103 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 2: People will put a picture of a property up at 104 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 2: like they are the seller and you go and you're like, oh, 105 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 2: I just bought twenty five acres for five stacks, and 106 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 2: you did not just buy twenty five acres for five stacks. 107 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 2: So make sure you are doing your due diligence, that 108 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 2: you're checking the tax records to make sure that the 109 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 2: person who says that they are the owner the seller 110 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 2: is the seller. Check with the listing agent, make sure 111 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 2: that the listing agent is is an official broker. And 112 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 2: you protect yourself in every former fashion by going through 113 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 2: a closing attorney on your seller financing deal. That's how 114 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 2: you cover your assets. Okay, don't go do a seller 115 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 2: financing deal straight up, and you might not actually end 116 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 2: up buying this land, unless, of course, you are again 117 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 2: a season investor, a season real estate investor that's used 118 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 2: to buying properties and putting deeds in at the text 119 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 2: assessor's office and with the court in the county. If 120 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 2: that's not you, you need a real estate agent and you 121 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 2: need a close an attorney to ensure that your transaction 122 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 2: with the seller goes through smoothly. Another note, with seller financing, 123 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 2: or what's also known as owner financing, you negotiate with 124 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 2: the You can negotiate what you want and they can 125 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 2: negotiate what they need. So it could be a twenty 126 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 2: percent down payment, it could be a fifty percent down payment. 127 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 2: It can be a flat monthly rate of interest only 128 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 2: with a balloon payment at the end. So make sure 129 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 2: that you do good negotiating so that you get the 130 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 2: best financing terms possible, so that you don't end up 131 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 2: overpaying for this price of land. Because if that's the case, 132 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 2: you hustling backwards. So negotiate. Make sure that you got 133 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 2: your best negotiator doing the negotiating, and you don't lose 134 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 2: your shirt because you're financing a an exorberate interest rate, 135 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 2: you're putting too much money down. Any of those things 136 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:55,959 Speaker 2: can be a bad situation. So negotiate, negotiate, negotiate, and 137 00:08:56,040 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 2: make sure final note that the owner owns the property 138 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 2: the outright. Ideally, if the owner doesn't own the property outright, 139 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 2: don't buy it. If the property itself has a mortgage 140 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,079 Speaker 2: on it, that's going to be more than the down 141 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 2: payment you're going to pay, because when you pay that 142 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 2: down payment, you want that down payment to clear the mortgage. 143 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 2: No out that way, you can end up with the 144 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 2: deed in your name. From that moment you leave the 145 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 2: closing table, that deed being in your name means it's 146 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 2: your property. You can get USDA farm benefits, you can 147 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 2: get all of the things that you need. But as 148 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 2: long as there's a mortgage on that property, in that 149 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 2: seller's name. This deal is a no go in most states. 150 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 2: You can't have a property and sell it while you 151 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 2: still have a mortgage on it, So be mindful that 152 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 2: that mortgage needs to get cleared, and if it can't 153 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 2: get cleared, it needs to be assumed, and you need 154 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 2: to go through the process of legally assuming that mortgage 155 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 2: with the mortgage holder and do it the right way 156 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 2: because you do not want to lose your money. Private 157 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 2: money lenders highest interest rates, hands down, that's not the 158 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 2: way to go if you can avoid it, but it's 159 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 2: easier to get most cases. It's based on the deal. 160 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 2: And you can also get private money from family and 161 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 2: friends if you are lucky enough to have people who 162 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 2: are financially Asstoote and who have savings and are interested 163 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 2: and able to invest in deals like landdills and new 164 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 2: construction opportunities. So if you have somebody in your circle, 165 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 2: go get that private money first. Negotiate, negotiate, negotiate, win 166 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 2: when right, And if you don't have private money of 167 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 2: ail to you in your own personal network, you can 168 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,839 Speaker 2: go to a hard money lender. Hard money lenders are 169 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 2: essentially borrowing the money of all the people in their network. 170 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 2: To be able to make loans to you at exorberant 171 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 2: interest rates. A good interest rate for somebody who has 172 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 2: a pretty good credit score who wants to bus and 173 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 2: move before their business has been in business for at 174 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 2: least six months. Because typically all of these financing options, 175 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 2: except for seller financing, you're gonna want to be in 176 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 2: business for at least six months, unless you are doing 177 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,319 Speaker 2: a farming business in which you can use a USDA 178 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 2: startup loan to fund your land purchase and your farming 179 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 2: operational expenses. But otherwise you are going to need to 180 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 2: have been in business for at least six months, unless 181 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 2: you're again going with a hard money lender. If not 182 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,839 Speaker 2: your heart, your heart money lender is going to look 183 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 2: at the credit score of the primary or the managing partner. 184 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 2: If that person has like a seven hundred credit score 185 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 2: or better, you don't have to have been in business 186 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 2: for six months. Again, Typically the deal will dictate the 187 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 2: private money lenders situation where you might not need to 188 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 2: have good credit, but you definitely need to go and 189 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 2: have these conversations again negotiating with your private money lenders. 190 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 2: My favorite private money lender is direct lending Partners. They 191 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 2: typically do not do deals on land. Most private money 192 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 2: lenders or hard money lenders do not do deals on 193 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:51,239 Speaker 2: just land. But again, this is America. Anything is possible 194 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 2: when you negotiate and open your mouth. Crowdfunding less hoops, 195 00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 2: less successful crowdfunding. When we started our when we decided 196 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 2: to purchase land and we were looking at Toomsboro, we 197 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 2: went on to go fund me and we looked and 198 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 2: seen about fifteen or twenty crowdfunding campaigns of people trying 199 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 2: to fundraise the one point seven million dollars for the 200 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,839 Speaker 2: city of Toombsboro. Right, crickets on all of the on 201 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 2: all of the crowdfunding like, nobody raised more than like 202 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:34,959 Speaker 2: a thousand dollars on any of these crowdfunding website on 203 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 2: this GoFundMe. So crowdfunding, while everybody gets really excited about 204 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:45,319 Speaker 2: it as an option, it's not usually successful unless you're 205 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 2: very strategic and you have a huge marketing campaign and 206 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 2: a great story. We were able to raise over eighty 207 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 2: seven thousand, We're almost close to our eighty eight thousand 208 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 2: dollars goal. And we used that as a kind of 209 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 2: like a building fun where we were able to clear 210 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 2: our land and put down gravel and you know, lay 211 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 2: down areas for us to do our uh pavilions and 212 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 2: our stages and all those types of things. And so 213 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 2: that was a long and hard process to raise eighty 214 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 2: eight thousand dollars and we still haven't reached our goal. 215 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 2: So I crowdfunding is an option. It doesn't take a 216 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 2: lot other than a strong story and marketing campaign, but 217 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 2: they don't tend to go as far or be as 218 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 2: successful as you would like them to be. And it 219 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 2: takes a ton of money to be able to genuinely 220 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 2: develop large projects, especially when they don't have, you know, 221 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 2: connection to certain infrastructure. So crowdfunding is definitely a later choice. 222 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 2: And then there is regulation crowdfunding, which you can raise 223 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 2: up to one million and seventy thousand dollars. I'm not 224 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 2: very familiar with crowdfunding, and I would love if Troy 225 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 2: and Rashad could get somebody who has done some crowdfunding 226 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 2: in the EYL University at some point, because. 227 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we did Chrisinegal Chrisinegal, and I'm sure he'll 228 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 4: come back again and get he could do it. 229 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 5: We can do a class on crowdfunding for sure. 230 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. 231 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, he had a very he had a very successful 232 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 4: crowdfunding campaign that they raised over a million dollars. 233 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 2: See what I'm saying. So we I can't speak to that, 234 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 2: but that right there, this is how we really start 235 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 2: to develop land. Deal. So that's something that you guys 236 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 2: are gonna come back, have to become earners and come 237 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 2: back and get this class when it comes. All right, 238 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 2: So let's get to the bill. The discovery period. There's 239 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 2: a master planning period, there's a design phase of construction 240 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 2: and marketing. Discovery starting from scratch means you need to 241 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 2: discover the limitations and the restrictions of the land. I 242 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 2: saw somebody in the comments say something about feasibility studies. 243 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 2: That's this moment of discovery. Right. You can do a 244 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 2: feasibility study before you buy the land, but that's a 245 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 2: whole lot of money to put into something and then 246 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 2: decide not to buy it or go forth. If you 247 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 2: study the area, you do your due diligence, you know 248 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 2: what's happening in the community, You've got a clear vision 249 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 2: when you purchase that land. You can do your feasibility 250 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 2: study after the fact. Because developing land is really a 251 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 2: lengthy process. It's not an overnight success type situation. It's 252 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 2: going to cause for a civil engineer to come in 253 00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 2: to study the grating and the slopes of the land. 254 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 2: There's gonna be someone who goes and drills into the 255 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 2: dirt to see how much weight the dirt can withstand, 256 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 2: so you know how high you can build and what 257 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 2: you can build, and what kind of materials there's gonna 258 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 2: be best based on the climate. I'm skipping ahead, but 259 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 2: ultimately this discovery period is where you're gonna get your 260 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 2: topographical survey done and you're gonna want to understand the 261 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 2: demographics of the area. Again, what the median income is, 262 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:38,120 Speaker 2: are people graduating from college? Is the crime rates high? 263 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 2: All of that good stuff. So that is your discovery period, 264 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 2: your master planning period. This is where you're a person 265 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:51,159 Speaker 2: that you hired as your master planner looks at where 266 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 2: we're gonna put everything at the infrastructure and the roads. 267 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 2: Ingress and egress means how you go into the neighborhood, 268 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 2: how you go out of the neighborhood, how you go 269 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 2: into your driveway, how you go out of your driveway, 270 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 2: waste management, stormwater runoff. They're gonna plan all of these things. 271 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 2: You are not the person that does that. There's a 272 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 2: master planner, a developer or architect, a civil engineer. There 273 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,160 Speaker 2: are a team of experts that sit down and do 274 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 2: your master planning if you're doing a large scale project. 275 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 2: If you're doing a smaller scale project, you still need 276 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 2: the same people, but you might be able to work 277 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 2: with a boutique company that has two, three, four people. 278 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 2: Maybe we're in the same ernest. 279 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:39,679 Speaker 5: What's up? 280 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,239 Speaker 3: You ever walk into a small business and everything just 281 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 3: works like the checkout is fast, or seats of digital 282 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 3: tipping is a breeze and you're out the door before 283 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 3: the line even builds.

Are we 332 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 2: talking about developing ten acres of land one acre of land? 333 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 2: Are we talking about developing four hundred acres of land? 334 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:59,439 Speaker 2: That master plan to lay out those streets, those roads, 335 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 2: all all of that designed from the information they got 336 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 2: in discovery, from that topography report. They're gonna do all 337 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 2: of that and it can cost anywhere from ten to 338 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 2: fifty thousand or more depending on how much land you 339 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:20,919 Speaker 2: are getting planned and who the planner is.

This 341 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 2: goes beyond that initial discovery phase intto building homes and 342 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 2: structures and retail and commercial based on the climate the area, 343 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,399 Speaker 2: the needs of the citizens. Areas that are prone to 344 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 2: like tornadoes and hurricanes, they will require different kind of 345 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 2: building materials than places that are by and don't have 346 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 2: those type of climate changes and issues. So all of 347 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 2: that can increase the cost of what you're designing. And 348 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 2: this is where you can make a lot of money 349 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 2: or lose a lot of money because you can overly 350 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:13,159 Speaker 2: design and you design something that's too high end for 351 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,959 Speaker 2: the area, and now you're not selling because it was 352 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:22,880 Speaker 2: not the kind of design for this neighborhood. Community and culture. 353 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 2: Purchasing land where there's wetlands, deep valleys, other topic, graphical challenges. 354 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,120 Speaker 2: That's going to create larger budgets because now you're talking 355 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,439 Speaker 2: about building bridges and how you lay in your foundation. 356 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 2: So all of that stuff is a part of the 357 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 2: design fast and it's going to create and have a 358 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 2: certain budget that will change according to the complexity of 359 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 2: the design and the uh, what's the word I want 360 00:23:55,119 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 2: to use, the style, the aesthetic of it. Okay, construction 361 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 2: This is the second to the last stage of the 362 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 2: rawland development process. In most cases, it's gonna be the first. 363 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 2: Your horizontal development. That's the grading of your roles, that's 364 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 2: the curves, that's utilities. Eventually you know you're gonna start 365 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,679 Speaker 2: building the property from the ground up. When you looking 366 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 2: for a contract or your construction team, they're gonna get 367 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 2: paid in increments from your construction loan and once they 368 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 2: have gotten all of the construction done, you're ready to 369 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 2: go onto the next phase. And construction again can take 370 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 2: longer timeframes based on the complexity of the design, the 371 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 2: materials chant leaks in the supply chain or of trying 372 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 2: to get certain materials to you. If you have certain 373 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:02,959 Speaker 2: materials that you are using because you're committed to green building, 374 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 2: or you have a high end design, all of that 375 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 2: can lead to higher budgets and costs. When you're looking 376 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:16,919 Speaker 2: for a contractor or contractors. You can google what state, 377 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,679 Speaker 2: what city you're in. If you want to hire you 378 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 2: know a minority contractor, a black contractor. Google that put 379 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:30,919 Speaker 2: Georgia Minority Contractors Association, put Florida Black Chamber of Commerce, 380 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 2: put DC Business League into the results. Call them up 381 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 2: and find a reputable contractor if you don't already have 382 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 2: someone you know. In branding and marketing, that's the last 383 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:56,359 Speaker 2: stage once you've gotten your building done. Before you've gotten 384 00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 2: your buildings done to be perfectly honest, branding and marketing 385 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 2: is what's going to sell this community that you just 386 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 2: invested your time, energy and money into. Branding is how 387 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,400 Speaker 2: you sell, tell the story of why you built it, 388 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 2: and attract your ideal residents to the community. And marketing 389 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 2: is the active placement of materials and formats that will 390 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 2: allow them to see that story and get that story 391 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 2: in front of the masses so i can show you 392 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 2: better than I can tell you. And I'm going to 393 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 2: take you to a community right here in Georgia that's dope. 394 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 2: In marketing, this is called Trillist. This is a community 395 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,360 Speaker 2: that's been being built over the last ten years. It's 396 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 2: actually a community that was founded by a production studio 397 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 2: called pine Wood Studios. It's in Fayetteville, Georgia. This marketing 398 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 2: is what attracts their ideal client. Their values is what 399 00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 2: attracts their ideal client. The community that they are building 400 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 2: is for makers, entrepreneurs and storytellers where they can for 401 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:12,640 Speaker 2: fine fulfillment in every way. This is branding a community 402 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 2: tailor made for storytellers. Well, it was a studio that 403 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 2: purchased land built it up, similar to what Tyler Perry 404 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 2: did when he purchased land in East Point to build 405 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:30,719 Speaker 2: Tyler Perry's studios. They built a community that's that economic development. 406 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 2: It's got restaurants in there, homes and so when you 407 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 2: are considering land development and what you're buying, things happen 408 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 2: in phases. And so I wanted to show you this 409 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 2: because when you start talking about doing a land project, 410 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 2: you have to have vision and you have to know 411 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 2: where you're going. So I wanted to show you guys 412 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 2: Trellis and I'm going to show you got close that door, 413 00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 2: please star, thank you, Yes and Sarambi, Georgia. Again marketing, 414 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 2: it just looks like the kind of place where you 415 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:15,399 Speaker 2: want to live. Right, They got goats. So when you 416 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 2: start thinking about your project, begin with the end in mind, 417 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,159 Speaker 2: and think about who's going to live here, and build 418 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 2: for them, and build in a way that the story 419 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:31,719 Speaker 2: is compelling. That's what we're doing with Freedom Georgia. All 420 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 2: right now, I'm going to take you guys to the 421 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 2: final stage, and I got three minutes before we go 422 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 2: to questions, some insight and inspiration. Don't wait for opportunities 423 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 2: to come, get up and make them, Madam CJ. Walker. 424 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 2: The charter chartering a city. Listen, if you are interested 425 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 2: in chartering a city, hit me up. But the reality is, 426 00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 2: as we begin to be more strategic and work these 427 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 2: ideas and principles of group economics and collective economics, and 428 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 2: we're building collectively communities that are safe, that are thriving, 429 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 2: the logical next step is a city charter. A city 430 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 2: charter is going to open you up for benefits that 431 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 2: will give you more control over your community long term. 432 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 2: When it comes to how your community is developed, police, 433 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 2: the zoning, the ordinances, the health outcomes, how money that 434 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 2: gets sent down from the federal government to the state 435 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 2: government gets distributed is based on these cities and their 436 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 2: populations and density. So we really got to look at 437 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 2: how being a city and taking these developments where we're 438 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 2: building our own infrastructure, building our own culture of shared 439 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 2: value values. Then we turn go to the next step, 440 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 2: which is a city charter and electing officials who are 441 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 2: going to represent our values and do what's best for 442 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 2: the residents that live in this city. This is called placemaking, 443 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 2: is what we're doing. It's not just about land developing. 444 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 2: This is about making places where people feel safe, where 445 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 2: people have peace, protection, prosperity, and a city is a 446 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 2: government structure that allows that to actually happen. So that's 447 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 2: our next step. That's what we're going with this. So 448 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 2: get strategic, work together with your comrades, with your partners, 449 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 2: with your like minded business folks in the area, get 450 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 2: with your economic development authority, get with your black Chambers 451 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 2: of commerces, and let's start building these cities according to 452 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 2: our needs, our design. This is how we be strategic. 453 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 4: That was powerful, Thank you, Thank you. That was That 454 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 4: was an amazing presentation. So I don't want people to 455 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 4: take that lightly. It's like, you know, for all the 456 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 4: years that we go to school, whether it's elementary, high school, college, 457 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 4: even master degree programs, me personally. I never, you know, 458 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 4: was taught the process of buying land and this stuff is. 459 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 4: You would think that this would be one of the 460 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 4: key things that would consist of an educational experience because 461 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 4: we all have to live somewhere and land is the 462 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 4: key component of the planet Earth. And it never, it 463 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 4: never was actually taught to ninety nine percent of us. 464 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 4: So it's amazing that you were able to come on 465 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:53,719 Speaker 4: here and teach this, and we're thankful, so thank you 466 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 4: for that. And you know, it's also amazing that we 467 00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 4: was able just to even have this platform to actually 468 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 4: educate people. And it's a very encouraging thing and I'm 469 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 4: sure everybody is extremely appreciative of it, but do not 470 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 4: take it for granted. Sometimes when you when you get 471 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 4: things and it's free, you don't fully appreciate it. But 472 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 4: it's like, you know, this could have been Harvard, this 473 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 4: could have been Yale, this could have been any any. 474 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 5: Level of education. 475 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 4: I would uh, I would argue that this was this 476 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 4: was right up there and better than when anybody else 477 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 4: could have done, whether Oxford, anywhere in the world. So 478 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 4: that's that's extremely powerful. And now, like I said, this 479 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:36,000 Speaker 4: kind of information can literally change the trajectory of our 480 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 4: you know, existence in this country and is something that 481 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 4: we have not known about for hundreds of years, for centuries. 482 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 4: So now that we're coming into this information, it's important 483 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 4: that a we learn as much as possible, we apply it, 484 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 4: and also we work together as a group. So yeah, 485 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 4: that's that's something that is extremely extremely powerful. 486 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 5: So once thank you. So what we're gonna what. 487 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 4: We're gonna go into now is question answers for about 488 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 4: twenty minutes. So once again, if anybody joined late, this 489 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:12,840 Speaker 4: is a special edition of eyl University, so once a month, 490 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 4: every single month. So with eyl University, we're educational platform. 491 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 4: Outside of what you see on the podcast. The podcasts 492 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 4: are episodes where you learn a lot. This is more 493 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 4: of a hands on learning experience.
