173: How to Build, Grow, and Scale a Land Investing Business with Jack Bosch

Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing

Land is the often-overlooked asset class that can be the easiest—and most economical—entry into real estate investing.

On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan interviews Jack Bosch, an experienced business owner, entrepreneur, real estate investor, and respected industry leader. Jack is the bestselling author of “Forever Cash: Break the Earn-Spend Cycle, Take Charge of Your Life, Build Everlasting Wealth.” He is also the creator of Land Profit Generator. Jack and his wife Michelle are immigrants to the United States, and since 2008, they’ve bought and sold more than 4,000 properties.

Jonathan and Jack start their conversation by exploring Jack’s immigration to the United States from Germany in 1997, how he met his wife, Michelle, an immigrant from Honduras, and why they decided to remain in the States after college. Jack shares his disillusionment with the American dream, his entry into real estate, and why you should hold on to a steady income job for a while before pursuing real estate full-time. You’ll hear why he began dabbling in various asset classes before discovering land, who he buys from, and the typical scenario of someone selling land. Jack explains his methodology for finding deals, land's flexibility, and how to find a good deal using the internet. Finally, Jonathan and Jack delve into Land Profit Generator, Jack’s market choices, and how to create a great land transaction between buyer and seller.

Land can be a very affordable way to enter the real estate market, and Jack Bosch’s expertise can help you find the deal you’ve been seeking.
