In this episode, the team explains why high interest rates—while crushing traditional real estate—are actually creating a golden opportunity for land investors. As flippers, landlords, and syndicators struggle with expensive debt and shrinking margins, land investors quietly thrive by operating outside the banking system.
The team breaks down how buying land with cash and selling on owner financing removes interest rate risk entirely, while creating affordable options for buyers who can’t access traditional loans. Listeners will walk away understanding why high rates create more motivated sellers, more demand for seller financing, and a more resilient path to passive income built on simplicity, flexibility, and control.
Tune in as the team discusses:
- Why high interest rates hurt traditional real estate but barely affect land investors
- How paying cash and acting as the bank eliminates interest rate risk
- The impact of expensive financing on flippers, landlords, and syndicators
- Why motivated sellers increase when the economy tightens
- Creating demand by offering owner financing when banks won’t lend
- Building passive income through land notes instead of leveraged debt
- How simplicity and repeatability outperform complex real estate models
- Why land investing thrives in both high-rate and low-rate environments
- The long-term advantage of controlling price, terms, and buyer experience
