Does Land Maverick Society offer some kind of payment plan?
If all paid upfront:
$15,000
If paid on installments:
$2,500 one time down payment
$6,000 * 3 months ($18,000 + $2,500 = $20,500 total)
$3,500 * 6 months ($21,000 + $2,500 = $23,500 total)
$2,500 * 9 months ($22,500 + $2,500 = $25,000 total)

How much time should I have available to dedicate towards land?
Obviously, the more time you put in the land business, the more you’ll get out of it. That said, if you’re just getting started and have a goal of building to 1-3 deals per month, 10-15 hours a week should be plenty.

Beyond the cost of joining Land Maverick Society, what other expenses should I plan for concerning the land business?
I would separate the expenses related to the land business into two buckets:
Bucket 1: Marketing & Property Acquisition Costs
Bucket 2: Everything Else
Your two largest expenses in the land business are Marketing & Property Acquisition Costs. Everything else comes out to about $360- $500 a month and includes:
Land.id

Propstream

Pebble REI (First 6 months free)

Regarding property acquisition costs:
you can plan on offsetting Acquisition Costs by funding through the Land Maverick Society, but if you choose to self-fund, based the averages in Jaren’s personal land business, the average purchase price per property is around $30,000-$40,000
Regarding marketing costs:
If we’re talking direct mail and you plan on mailing through Pebble REI, the cost of colorized letter with a double window envelop is $0.62 cents
Pebble Letter pricing
In most markets (not all but most) you can anticipate around 1 deal per 3,000 direct mail letters.
At $0.62 per letter, 3,000 would cost a total of $1,860

How much marketing should I plan on doing per month?
That ultimately depends on how many deals you want to do in relation to your available working capital but if you’re just getting started in the land business, I would suggest not committing to marketing on monthly basis.
I would suggest running your business “campaign-to-campaign”
Send out one marketing campaign, process the leads that come from it and not send out any more marketing until any deals this specific campaign yielded, sold successfully.
Then I would plan on rolling some of the revenue earned from these deals selling, into the next marketing campaign.
This way, you’re not committing to thousands of dollars a month in business expense before you really know what you’re doing.

What is the primary marketing channel Jaren recommends for generating motivated seller leads?
For beginners, direct mail is the best medium because the leads are generally more qualified.
As you grow and scale, however, Jaren recommends and provides guidance on setting up a multi-channel approach that includes direct mail, ringless voicemail drops, sms, emails, cold calling and more.

How does deal funding work? 
Through our exclusive funding partner, Rooster Capital, members have access to deal funding between $15,000 and $250,000 per acquisition for 50/50 split.
If the acquisition cost is higher than $250,000 it’s a 60/40 split in our favor because there is more capital at risk.
You can learn more by going to landmavericks.com/funding which has a video overview and a “Funding Guide” PDF you can download.

Do I need prior real estate or business experience to be successful?
No. In fact, having no prior real estate experience is almost better sometimes because you’re a clean slate and don’t have any competing ideology against what we teach. Jaren will walk you through every step of developing your land business, from selecting a good market, setting up your lead processing infrastructure, marketing, navigating the phones, running comps and due diligence, working with land agents – and much, much more!

I have a day-job with demanding / changing hours. Can Jaren meet with me at odd hours around my work schedule?
Generally, yes. By default members use landmavericks.com/training to schedule training sessions Tuesday through Thursday, but if there isn’t suitable availability or you need to schedule a session outside of the normal timeframe, all you have to do is reach out to Jaren’s executive assistant via text, email or Slack and she’ll help you nail down a time that works for everyone.

How is Jaren’s land flipping business model different than others?
We generally don’t do any seller-financing but sell our properties for cash, through the MLS
We heavily rely on local, land-specialized agents to help us with comps, due diligence and most importantly, getting properties sold!
We also always get title insurance on the deals we do, so we don’t self-close whatsoever.
We also intentionally target more expensive land deals, as we have found that they make more money with less effort.

Beyond land flipping, does Jaren touch on more advanced land strategies such as minor sub divides, entitlements or improvements?
Yes! For properties best suited for these types of strategies, Jaren can partner with you on the deal, provide funding and guide you through the process from beginning to end.

What discount percentage does Jaren suggest we offer land sellers?
For properties with a market value under $30,000, 30-40%
For properties with a market value over $30,000, 50%
We are most often offering 50% of market value

If I’m brand new, how soon can I expect an ROI? 
You need about 1-3 months to get setup, send out marketing, process leads and take title on a deal or two
Once you take title, the average days on market are about 90 days
So conservatively, within 3-6 months you should be gaining momentum and starting to make money from land deals selling.

What is the average profit per deal I can expect to make?
If you use us to fund the deal, on average members take home $10,000 after closing costs, agent commissions, acquisition costs reimbursement and a 50/50 split of the profit.
If you self-fund, the average bumps up to $20,000 per deal.

Realistically, how quickly can the land business replace my day-job?
Well, it depends on how much your day-job pays you and how much marketing capital and time you have to dedicate to your land business. That said, remember:
If you use LMS to fund the deal, the average profit per deal is $10,000
The cost of direct mail via Pebble REI is $0.63 per letter
In most markets, we can expect to get 1 deal per 3,000 direct mail letters.
If your goal was to make $20,000 a month, take-home…
You would only need to do about 3 land deals per month to reach that:
$10,000 Average Profit per Deal x 3 Deals = $30,000
$1,860 per 3,000 Units of Mail x 3 Potential Deals = $5,580 in Monthly Marketing Cost 
The average sales cycle is 90 days, so if you had the ability to commit to spending enough marketing dollars every month to yield the average amount deals you’d need to replace the money earned from your day-job, hypothetically you could do it in 3-6 months.

Do I need to be concerned about rising competition in the land business?
No! Only 3-6% of the land mass in the United States is developed land. That means that 93-96% of the land mass in the US is vacant land!
Sure, a portion of this is unusable or government owned, but lets say just 50% of the land mass of the U.S. was viable for doing deals… we have a lot of threshold for competition!
If you think about it, in other types of real estate, a market is limited to a city or town whereas a market in the land business by default, is an entire county!

Does Jaren actively do his own deals or does he just partner with Land Maverick Society Members? 
Jaren actively does his own deals. He co-owns iBuyLand with his wife Assiya, who runs the day-to-day operations. As of October 2023, iBuyLand has done $2.6 million in revenue on its own, completely separate from funding member deals.
Additionally, through funding deals for Land Maverick Members, we have done $2.5 million in revenue.

Does Jaren make more money from selling education or from doing deals? 
Definitely from doing deals!
That’s the ultimate goal of Land Maverick Society – to do deals with our members!

Does Jaren teach to target infill lots or more rural, recreational “bass-boat” properties?
Jaren teaches to go after all land properties that can make money. He will teach you to find a land agent that specializes in properties that are comparable to your subject property
If you’re working an infill lot, get an infill lot agent.
If you’re working a rural, recreational property, get a rural, recreational agent!
It’s that simple

Does Jaren teach to target a certain lot size range?
Jaren doesn’t focus so much on the size of the subject property but rather its market value.
You can have a 0.24 acre property in New York City that’s worth over million dollars and you can have 40 acres in the deserts of Arizona or New Mexico that’s worth $10-20,000!
Size doesn’t matter! It’s really about what the property can sell for!

How many clients is Jaren actively coaching?

Doesn’t really work that way – people join Land Maverick Society and are on all different levels in their business.

Think of Jaren like a managing broker of a real estate brokerage, some agents rarely call on their managing broker for guidance because they’re experienced, while others, especially those just getting started, call on their broker frequently.

That said though, I assume the real question is “Will Jaren have enough time to give me the attention I need to be successful, or is he growing so much that I’m just going to be a drop in the bucket? 

Yes, Jaren has time for you!

Because our business model heavily focuses on partnering with our members on deals, our interests are aligned. Jaren is incentivized to do all he can to ensure your success because the more successful you are, the more likely we’ll be able to partner on deals together!

We have systems and a team in place to help with the growth demands of the community, solely so that Jaren can stay accessible to our members.
