Welcome to the land podcast, a platform for people looking to educate themselves in the world of land ownership, land investing, staying up to date with current land trends in the Midwest, and hearing from industry experts and professionals. On today's episode, we are back in the studio to talk with Mike Kuhlkin. We discuss: Mike shares his journey to land ownership He’s a pastor in Perry, NY, with a passion for hunting After years of borrowing and leasing, he bought property Family dynamics influenced his desire for land ownership They leased property for 10 years while getting finances in order A move to the Southern Tier changed their financial situation They sold their home, gaining $50,000 profit They followed Dave Ramsey's financial principles In 2017, they found a 20-acre property listed for 10 years They made a lowball offer of $50,000, which was accepted at $57,000 The property had a history as a gas consolidation site Closing took several months due to legal and environmental issues They financed the property with a 15-year adjustable-rate mortgage The challenges of building on landlocked property They’ve started habitat management and farming on their land The experience has exceeded their initial hunting-only expectations And so much more! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.whitetailmasteracademy.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Use code '⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HOFER' to save 10% off at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.theprairiefarm.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Massive potential tax savings: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ASMLABS.Net⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -Moultrie: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/moultrie_⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -Hawke Optics: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/hawkeoptics_⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -OnX: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/onX_Hunt⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -Painted Arrow: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/PaintedArrow

Welcome to the land podcast, a platform for people looking to educate themselves in the world of land ownership, land investing, staying up to date with current land trends in the Midwest, and hearing from industry experts and professionals. On today's episode, we are back on the road in Iowa and we made a pit stop to talk with none other than Steve Hanson. We discuss: Life offers no do-overs, but reflection can lead to valuable insights Real estate principles remain constant despite market changes Steve bought his first farm at 22, before even owning a house Skepticism from others surrounded his early land purchases Lack of prior experience allowed for a fresh perspective on land investment A key mistake was not being aggressive enough in purchasing land Price thresholds often deterred him from buying more land Market plateaus typically last one to two years before a shift occurs Learning to adapt to changing market conditions over time Liquidity is a significant concern when investing in land Taking risks is essential for achieving success in land investment Understanding 1031 exchanges is crucial for building generational wealth Holding onto farms for two to three years is ideal for maximizing value Focus on good deals rather than waiting for perfect conditions And so much more! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.whitetailmasteracademy.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Use code '⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HOFER' to save 10% off at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.theprairiefarm.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Massive potential tax savings: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ASMLABS.Net⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -Moultrie: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/moultrie_⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -Hawke Optics: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/hawkeoptics_⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -OnX: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/onX_Hunt⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -Painted Arrow: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/PaintedArrow
