- Seller Financing for Income: This strategy involves purchasing land at a significantly lower price than the market value and then selling it at a retail price, offering seller financing to the buyer. The buyer typically makes a down payment and pays off the remaining amount over time, including interest. This method allows the investor to earn both from the sale and the ongoing interest income, enhancing overall returns. For example, if you had purchased land for $35,000, with a retail value of $50,000, he could offer seller financing to a buyer at the retail price, requiring a down payment and setting a mortgage with interest, thereby earning income over the term of the mortgage, plus the equity of buying right.
- Building Development and Construction: This involves buying land and developing it into a residential or commercial property. This could include building a vacation home, rental property, or even a small commercial establishment. This approach is more hands-on and involves construction and development but can result in significant value addition to the property. It's especially effective in high-demand areas like Secret Beach, where rental income and property value are likely to increase over time.
- Short-term Flipping: This strategy would involve Steve buying properties at a lower cost, making improvements or waiting for a short period for the land value to appreciate, and then selling them for a profit. This approach requires a good understanding of the market trends and timing the sale correctly to maximize profits.
