Conclusion: The Game Plan

Conclusion, the game plan. In real life, strategy is actually very straightforward. You pick a general direction and implement it like hell. Jack Welch. You are now armed with a powerful playbook that will provide you with the plays necessary to adapt to any market and to build a seven-figure land investing business. I just wouldn't feel right about handing you a playbook, though, without telling you how to properly use it. In this short and final chapter of the book, I'd like you to understand that there is no best play. Other investors and my coaching students ask me to pick a favorite play, and I respond by asking them which child of theirs is their favorite. We both chuckle a little and they usually respond that it depends on the day of the week and how each kid is behaving. Well, that's exactly how I feel about these plays in this playbook. There are certain times based on the economy that one play outperforms another. And that is when you lean in and exploit that play in shelf another one that perhaps isn't suited for the current market conditions. The single most important thing is that you take action and get started running these plays. You may not execute perfectly the first time around, but eventually if you watch the game film after the play is complete. Well then you can build on that on what you did right and clean up what you did poorly. I also want to share with you one last powerful tip that can make these plays even more profitable. Now remember, all these plays came from aha moments after I ran countywide marketing campaigns and I have been said that after running all of these plays in the playbook intentionally, I made another powerful discovery that some of these plays could be combined or stacked together to produce an even more profitable outcome. Let me explain what I mean and give you some examples. The trophy hunting play plus subdividing play. I first noticed that I could combine my subdivided play with the trophy hunting play. I could target 40 acre trophy properties that had joined state land or federal land and instead of just flipping them, I could subdivid them in a manner so that all of the child parcels were also trophy properties. This provided the value out of forcing appreciation plus all of the child parcels had the same attributes as the parent trophy property, which meant they would sell quickly due to their appeal and demand. The portfolio take down play plus the assignment play. One of the fastest ways to collect a quick payday is by targeting multiple parcels or portfolios of parcels, getting them under contract and then running the assignment play, aka full saline land. This hybrid play allows you to capture a large amount of equitable interest and then assign the contract to another investor, which results in a supersized assignment fee. To date, the only investors I know running this play are myself and the students I have taught it to. The subdividing play plus the assignment play. Sometimes you don't want to spend the time, energy or effort on a subdivide project or maybe you know of an investor who is looking for a specific area to subdivide. In either instance, you can intentionally target subdividable properties and then after you get the subdivided candidate under contract, you then wholesale it to another investor via an assignment and collect a healthy assignment fee. The trophy hunting play plus the assignment play. Similar to the subdivided candidate properties above being assignable, the trophy property is no different. The reality is that you can pair the wholesale or assignment play with almost any other play in the playbook, including targeting trophy properties, then assigning them to another investor or builder. The subdividing play plus the big league seller financing play. The pairing of these two plays is a beautiful thing and almost feels like you're a kid using a cheat code on a video game. The idea behind pairing these plays is that you can acquire one parcel of subdividable land by intentionally targeting those property types. You then proceed to subdivide the parent parcel up into four or five child parcels and sell each of them off with seller financing collecting four or five monthly payments while charging 10% plus interest on each note. This hack or hybrid play allowed me to create four plus notes with a single property acquisition. It is a complete game changer and will allow you to quickly build a note portfolio at four or five X the speed that others can. How about that for some powerful hybrid plays? They're plenty more variations but I wanted to mainly introduce the concept of stacking plays or running hybrid plays. Hopefully you can see the profit potential of these game changing hybrid plays. Feel free to create some of your own and improve upon mine. Now I've thrown a lot of strategy and tactics at you as I revealed my whole land investors playbook and you may be left wondering where to start. First you may want to begin with the first play in the playbook. It's no coincidence that the first play is also the simplest. I arranged it like that so you can get some traction having a few early wins as you build up to the more complex plays. So yes consider beginning at the beginning with land investing play number one. My other suggestion on how to start is admittedly a bit more self-serving. I would suggest visiting my website TravisKing.com. You'll find a mixture of free and paid content there all of which can be helpful in taking you from zero to 60 and revving up your land investing career. By now I hope you've been using the books companion website the land investors playbook.com. But if you haven't I would strongly encourage you to go there to enhance your experience and also see how you can get more in depth training on how to run these plays. You see through a book I can only tell you about these plays but in order to truly show you how to execute them and show you exactly where to click your mouse. Well an online course or training program or my mastermind is much better suited for that than a book or an audiobook. I want to thank you for taking the time to read this book all the way through including the introduction which I'm guessing that you didn't skip. Finishing this book and giving me a five star rating and review on Amazon is the highest compliment you can pay me as a writer. So again thank you. Best wishes now as you advance towards land investing mastery. In case you lost track of the page count we're now in the last play of the land investors playbook meaning it's time to say our goodbyes. I've never been good at that whether we're talking like in person goodbyes or me just hanging up the phone. Besides this probably isn't goodby. I'm hoping that that doesn't come across or sound creepy. The part about this not really being goodby. I'm certainly not going to stalk you after you close this book. Instead I have a feeling that perhaps you might just decide to stalk me but in a good way. Now let the books add it's in. What I'm referring to might be better described as following is in deciding for example you'll follow me by checking out my website TravisKing.com. Subscribing to any and all of my social media channels or even becoming involved in my coaching or mastermind programs. Speaking of following you've probably heard the expression follow the leader by having just read this book however I hope you'll now disregard that expression for this book is giving you the plays necessary for you to become a leader and not a follower. Now my hope is that this playbook provides you with the tactics and strategies that you need to take your land investing business to seven figures and beyond. To go from a one trick pony landflipper to the head coach of your land investing business with a jam packed playbook full of profitable plays that will allow you to adapt to any market and make no mistake you're up to the task. We've never met, but the fact that you've had the motivation to pick up the book and the discipline to read it all the way through is more than enough evidence. You've got this. Take that message to heart as you close this book and let it drive you to action. Here's to you and to your success on the dirt road to land investing mastery. Travis King.
