I’m gullible. Which ones?

How can I base decisions and opinions about me and my family on anything other than what my eyes see? I didn’t say I dismiss your statistics reference. I am not wanting to be political, so I’ll just say that if your statistics are true, the rest of the country is doing a good job of resisting...

Is that what the news says? In all seriousness, it hasn’t been safe for me to fill my truck up within 5 miles of my place of work for the last 20 years. And new murder records are being set. Idc about the statistics.

Man, I don’t know. I haven’t intentionally watched “the news” on tv in years. When I happen to catch it or have to look at the newspaper for something specific, I’m generally surprised at the lack of coverage of some major issues and problems. The crime in my nearest metro area is at epic...

I’m with you. I have little respect for any politicians. If there’s enough support maintained for strong families and value of self sufficiency, personal accountability, I think we can weather these dark ages and come out the other side.

Lmao. You’re certainly useful.

Enjoyed listening to the podcast this week, Chad! Great story.

What I meant was that I think the ‘engineer vibe’ makes salesmen not want to work with us for the exact reasons you state. Overly analytical and practical to a fault. The first step is admitting you have a problem, right?!

Haha. Nah. We maybe. I can understand you’d suspect that — it was my first inclination, too. He wasn’t trying to talk me into buying it. This would be a flip, whereas what he’s helped me with before was more permanent opportunities. He was understanding of what I’m doing and was talking me thru...

I’m more interested in hearing about the flip property!

I’ve been baffled and intrigued by this business for 20 years. Thats not hyperbole. The number of incompetent land agents obviously pulling in multiple six figures in commissions blows my mind. I cuss them on one hand but would love to have that career, on the other hand. I honestly think I...

If you were pulling some cash out for land, would you pull it from equities or from treasuries/HYSA?

4X? I’d take my money and buy a tractor. As it were, I’m only up about 30%, so I’m holding tight.

I’ve actually never heard of “signing” with a buyer’s agent. What do you gain by doing that? Are they only working with buyers they’ve “signed?” Are you paying them?

This is helpful. Glad you chimed in. I have begun to see disclaimers that a buyer’s agent must accompany the buyer on the viewing. I can respect that. I’ve really really struggled in my area to find agents that will still show interest in working with me after not buying the first tract they...
