On this week’s episode of The Art of Passive Income, Mark and Scott welcome periodontist and real estate investor Jeff Anzalone to the show.

Jeff Anzalone is a periodontist who specializes in the treatment of the gums and bone supporting the teeth, minimally invasive tooth extractions, and in the placement of dental implants. He is a native of Northeast Louisiana and has opened up his periodontal practice in his home town of Monroe in 2006.

As a solo practitioner, Jeff was worried about not having a source of income if something should happen to him. He also owed close to $300,000 in student loans along with other debts. These concerns caused him to look into his financial future and sought other means to generate additional income. He learned to build many streams of passive income and after seven years he was debt-free. 

Jeff became passionate about sharing his debt-free journey, the strategies he learned, and basic investing principles with other doctors and high-income professionals. This resulted in the creation of his business Debt Free Doctor.  His goal is to teach everything he learned along the way to help others reach financial freedom much quicker than you’d ever thought possible.

Listen in as they discuss:

• What led Jeff to began real estate investing
• His real estate experience
• How did he recover from a major investment failure
• Helping doctors to create a plan to achieve financial freedom

And, more!

TIP OF THE WEEK

Mark: My tip of the week is to check out debtfreedr.com, there is a lot in here.

Scott: If you want to have your profile look good like on Facebook, check out mindyourbanners.com and you can get pretty images out there for your banner.

Jeff: This advice helps me along the way when I talk to people about Real Estate or syndications and you kind of had questions like “What are you talking about, I’m not really sure” unless I can’t explain it to a fifth-grader, don’t do it. Whatever it is, if you’re not comfortable with it, you don’t know then you don’t have business to do that. If you don’t know what you’re getting in to, then don’t do it. I put educational articles on my site at debtfreedr.com to help.

Melanie: The book called How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie taught me how to be a good leader; there’s something that I think in business that sometimes as CEOs from big companies we forget that everybody is human, we forget the accountability part. My biggest success is where I have been accountable for my mistake and being able to grow and learn from my mistake. So I learn and grow from them. The most important thing is to make people feel important and I think as a leader that’s the important thing to do.

Are landowners taken advantage of by land investors who send out offers that are deeply discounted? For this week’s round table episode, the Land Geeks discuss and share their perspective on this topic.

Joining Mark this week are:

• Scott Bossman
• Erik Peterson
• Tate Litchfield
• Scott Todd

Listen in as they go around the table and discuss if lands that are bought at a discounted price and marked up to make a profit is an insult to landowners. The Land Geeks also share some of their success stories when they purchased land at a discounted price from landowners. 

TIP OF THE WEEK

Scott Todd: The tip is pretty familiar, like Loom. If you’re not familiar with Loom, it’s a Chrome Plugin that will allow you to record a screen, like screen videos. It’s cool, it’s free but if you want to use HD quality it’s like $10 a month. Lately, I haven’t been using Loom for a long time, I’ve been using Zoom and you can use Zoom for free, and I also use flick.io for other things like videos. But for quick videos, I just want to share my screen with and not trying to make it long, like just want to share with a VA something I have a Vimeo account. Vimeo came out with a chrome plugin that basically does what Loom does. What I really like about the Vimeo plugin is that you hit the play button to record the screen and automatically it puts right into your Vimeo account. It shares with you the link right there on the screen. Usually, how I do it I would record it in Zoom on my computer, upload it into my Dropbox and share the link that way or put it in my Vimeo account. It’s free for standard recording, if you want HD recording you got to have like $9 account.

I wrote this book for the heart of the Entrepreneurs that they could just build thriving businesses.

Have you been wondering why land investors continue to purchase land in counties that are highly saturated with other land investors? For this week’s round table episode, the Land Geeks discuss this topic.

Joining Mark this week are:

• Scott Bossman
• Mike Zaino
• Erik Peterson
• Tate Litchfield
• Scott Todd

Listen in as they go around the table and discuss the reasons why they continue to invest in counties that are highly saturated with land investors instead of buying more land in counties with a lesser saturated market and fewer land investors.

TIP OF THE WEEK

Tate: This is a tool that I actually used to help a customer who is buying raw land from us, just check it. It’s not a typical tool, this tool is the Oregon Water Resources Department Well Report Mapping Tool, so if you go to it and you’re selling land in this area and you get the question that we often do: talk to me about water and depths, this tool will allow you to plug in your property. You can identify and give you a rough estimate of how deep you have to drill. It’s pretty cool, I like maps and GIS systems, it’s pretty similar to that but it’s got the water information. It will save you a call to the county. If you’re in Oregon or if you work for the state of Oregon, this works for you.
