Building Passive Income with Land with Brent Bowers

Published: Jan. 17, 2022, 6 a.m.

As an Army Officer with over 8 years of service, Brent Bowers was spending a great deal of time away from his family, and he knew he needed to make some changes in order to be more present with his wife and children. His interest in real estate began in 2007 when he purchased his first home, so Brent began exploring real estate investing as a way to support his family while being able to enjoy more time with them as well. In a short amount of time, Brent was able to expand his business, hire a team, and (most importantly) spend quality time with his family while still working hard and helping others. While Brent invests in many different types of real estate, his favorite investment strategy deals with buying and selling vacant land, and he enjoys sharing his expertise in this area with his coaching clients. Brent chooses to live his life based on Bob Burg\u2019s quote, \u201cYour influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people\u2019s interests first.\u201d He is passionate about helping other people find success in real estate investing, particularly inland investments.\xa0\n\xa0\n[00:01 - 07:46] Opening Segment\nGet to know Brent Bowers\nBrent\u2019s journey to being a real estate rockstar\nThe Best Way to Get Started in Real Estate\n\xa0\n[07:47 - 16:10] Building Passive Income with Land\nTurning Real Estate into Passive Income\nForced to build a team by being in the military\nPassive Income and Lifestyle Freedom\nBrent\u2019s Overarching Strategy\nWe\u2019re speed, we\u2019re convenience: Buying \u2153 value and getting full value\xa0\n\u201cThere\u2019s nothing sexy about land.\u201d\nHow economic disruptions affected Brent\u2019s business\nPaying More, Selling Faster, Selling More\n\xa0\n[16:11 - 27:53]\xa0 Keeping Your Lines Active\nWhy realtors don\u2019t want inexpensive properties\nThe Teeter Totter Method\nMailing Landowners and Tax Bills\nWhy Brent would still keep answering the phone\nSetting Specific Lines\nHow to Answer the Phone from 8 to 5\n\xa0\n[27:54 - 37:09] Closing Segment\nQuick break for our sponsorsGroundfloor offers short-term, high-yield real estate debt investments to the general public.
