Real Estate Hacks: Earn Passive Income Without Renters

Plenty of agents earn passive income by renting out investment properties, but did you know that there’s a way to generate passive earnings without the hassle of renters? That’s right; it’s possible to collect a check every month with a different type of real estate investment strategy. Mark Podolsky, a professional land investor with more than a decade of experience, sat down with Pat to explain how it works.

Essentially, Mark’s strategy is a unique take on land resale. Instead of buying land and reselling it to someone who has the ability to purchase it outright, Mark resells his properties to people who need seller financing. Not only does this increase his pool of potential buyers, it allows him to generate passive earnings every month. Read about his 3-step process and consider giving it a shot. To learn about his system in more detail, listen to the complete podcast interview below.

Earn Passive Income Reselling Land in 3 Steps

Ready to give Mark’s land-resale strategy a shot? It’s really not so different from a strategy for earning income with rental property. Here’s the step-by-step system Mark has perfected and proven over the course of more than a decade:

Perform county research – The first step in Mark’s system is crucial for turning a profit. You want to ensure you purchase land at a discounted rate in an area where you’ll have a pool of potential buyers. The easiest way to do this is to go to the county treasurer and get a list of properties with delinquent taxes. Scrub this list to remove industrial properties, commercial properties, and properties with homes.

Come up with offers – Now that you have some potential properties in front of you, it’s time to come up with offers that are low enough to turn a profit but high enough to get accepted. You can do this most effectively by looking at comps. Once you’ve determined the value of a potential purchase, make your offer. Mark has found that offering 23 cents on the dollar tends to work best.

Market your property – When one of your offers gets accepted, it’s time to start marketing it to potential buyers. Start by marketing the property to neighbors. If they aren’t interested, market it via Craigslist, Facebook sale groups, or one of the other sites Mark discussed during the interview. Remember: Emphasize seller financing while marketing to broaden your buyer pool and increase your chances of closing quickly.
