Are you looking to buy a piece of land, but you're worried about finding a bank that can make you feel comfortable and help you find the type of loan you are looking for?

Establishing a relationship with your bank is very important; it makes the bank more transparent with you. Enjoy your farm for what it’s; stop trying to make a quick turn or an income out of it in a buyer's market. https://linktr.ee/TheLandPodcast https://linktr.ee/exodustrailcamera https://bit.ly/TheDeerGearPodcast

The first lesson that all land buyers need to learn is the difference between a good and a bad deal. Good deals will be profitable in the long run. Bad deals have a high purchase price but low future profit potential. Identifying good deals is challenging for inexperienced buyers, so it's important to get professional advice from an experienced land broker before making any commitments. In this episode, we have C.J. Garrett, and this episode is jam-packed full of real estate, selecting the right farm to buy, life lessons we all need to hear, and why you should stop overanalyzing deals. Just buy the ‘damn’ farm if you have to do it. We also talk about the importance of understanding things in life that need special attention at the expense of hunting.

Leasing hunting land is a good start. It gets you in the game, helps you learn project management, and gives you the ability and right to hunt without worrying about sharing the land. However, it comes with many challenges and leaves you wanting more which is what motivated Adam to buy his own hunting ground. Owning a piece of land is great, but being able to manipulate it the way you want is a game changer. Join this conversation with Adam Silvis as he details his first transaction. He bought a parcel last year, and he went through many steps and processes to scope the farm up. In the episode, Adam shares how he did it and his most significant challenges in the purchase process. If you are in the market and you’re getting your ducks in a row in order to buy a farm, get ready to take notes! Tune in! During this episode, you will learn about; [00:01] Episode intro and pre-show talk [03:02] A bit about Adam and what he does in the technology space [05:47] Adam's perspective on deer hunting in Pennsylvania [07:06] Adam growing up and how he got into deer hunting [09:33] What Adam learned in implementing projects from his grandfather [12:01] What has changed over the years in the farms and project such as hinge cuts [13:40] Access restriction trends and its impacts on deer hunting [18:41] Owning Vs leasing hunting land: The evolution that led Adam to buy his own land [22:05] Steps that Adam took that helped him set himself up to purchase his own land [25:08] Adam’s experience with leasing hunting ground in Ohio [27:58] How Adam lost access to his family hunting farm and set out to buy his property [33:29] How Adam acquired his first property, 125 acres PA, after losing his first parcel [42:52] The proximity of the property and what he like about the it [45:00] The process of surveying and how Adam is managing and running the property [52:52] Adam go-to approach on doing a select cut of low-quality timber [54:16] Adam advice on how to purchase your first piece of ground [58:58] Building and keeping those relationship to buy off market [01:00:02] Myths that Adam found to be completely false after going through the process [01:01:06] Why Adam regret not buying land sooner than later [01:02:41] What the future looks like for Adam and his goals [01:06:20] How you can reach out and connect with Adam [01:06:50] Ending the show and call to action Notable Quotes Owning a piece of land and being able to manipulate it the way you want is a game changer. Leasing a hunting land is a good start; it gets you in the game and management but leaves you wanting more. The negative experiences with leases are often due to less due diligence because there is a less long-term risk. If you put a little effort into your property, you can steal all your neighbor's deer. Starting with consistency is key; there are no shortcuts in life; if you don’t come from wealth, you have to start small and build on that. If you don’t own land or come from a family with a lot of land, it is easier to get into the game than you think. https://linktr.ee/TheLandPodcast https://linktr.ee/exodustrailcamera https://bit.ly/TheDeerGearPodcast

All successful people have one thing in common, they work harder, put more hours into their work, and the more they do it, the more they become successful. However, applying the same principle to your hunting property by spending more time and doing more projects doesn't cue more deer on the farm. Putting too much human intrusion on your property makes it worst than if you did nothing. Sometimes it is hard to pull back from our natural tendency to work hard and our work ethics for success, but when it comes to your land parcel, less is more. Join this conversation with Don Higgins as he shares his hunting experience, mistakes, and the lessons he has learned along the way. Don's passion was ignited on a frosty November morning back in 1979 when a whitetail buck walked into Don's life and forever changed it. Although there were many mistakes made and lessons learned the hard way in those early years, Don figured things out, and today, that property stands as the very best whitetail hunting property Don has ever hunted. He has harvested the #2 typical in the state of IL behind none other than the Mel Johnson buck that ranked #6 of all time by the Pope and Young. On top of that, he has also harvested multiple 200” deer in the past 5 years. Get ready to take notes! Tune in! During this episode, you will learn about; [00:01] Episode intro and pre-show talk [03:18] How long Don has been managing his farm [03:32] Don's learning curve and lessons from his 30 years of managing the farm [05:09] Traits that successful people have and what you should focus on [06:30] Don's next bests state for hunting deers from Illinois and why [09:10] What captivated Don to purchase a property in Ohio state [11:41] How Don puts the plan together, and his partner brings in the heavy equipment [15:37] Things you should be doing in order to make hunting square the best [16:51] Providing something that deers cannot find in your area [17:44] Proven ways to improve and diversify your cover [18:53] What Don would do differently in planting cover for his farms [20:59] Don's advice on planting trees Vs. switch grass for cover [24:22] Top tier parcel checklist that Don uses to prospect for hunting property [25:43] The importance of hunting pressure around your farm [27:59] How to manage bad neighbors to make your farm growingly better [33:18] Why Don had to build a fence on one side of his sanctuary [35:24] Isolation and why it’s an important aspect when buying a property [38:58] Creating a spray path Vs a mowed path in your food crop [41:05] How Don started out and got all that he has now [43:06] Mistakes that Don made in managing his food plots and how you can avoid them [44:52] How you can reach out, connect or learn more about Don [45:33] Ending the show and call to action Notable Quotes Putting too much human intrusion on your property makes it worse than if you did nothing. Sometimes it is hard to pull back from our natural tendency to work hard for success, but when it comes to your hunting parcel, less is more. The more you diversify the food crops on your property, the better you can hold the deers. Use your effort to provide something that deer cannot find in the regions or areas within If you have a good cover, don't make it better by changing it into a different form of cover. It is hard to set your place apart if nobody is hunting anywhere around you; the deer will go everywhere and feel safe. Hunting pressure around you makes it easier to differentiate your farm as a safe place in the eyes of the local deer. Good fences make good neighbors. Buy a property that you can set apart from everything else around it Having a piece to yourself that you can manipulate any way you want is a game changer Don Higgins Website: https://higginsoutdoors.com/

So many of us often have this impression that there is a barrier to entry and getting into hunting is almost impossible, but there are many ways to get into it, and it’s so rewarding. There are people who are succeeding, and they come from different walks of life, different backgrounds, and have different goals, but they are doing it. You also don’t have to have a ton of money in your bank account or unlimited sources of funding to purchase your first parcel. Just get started with what you have. Start small, debunk the myths, make mistakes, and work your checklist. Join this conversation with Treyce Sanderson as he shares his most recent purchase and the process he went through to purchase this first parcel of land.

Just get started; once you start, it will be a bit easier Start out with what you have and build up on that You don’t have to have a ton of money in your bank account to purchase a parcel.

Land is one of the most important investments for your portfolio. It provides you with a steady cash flow and can also be used to create a passive stream of income. It's not as volatile as other investments, and it's also not as risky. Since it is a long-term investment, it requires patience, knowledge, and skills. But if you are well-versed in investing fundamentals, you should try it! With the increasing popularity of hunting, the demand for hunting land has increased and is now considered one of the best investments.

Buying your first property can be difficult. It requires a lot of research, time, and effort. However, online listings, information out there, and real estate agents can help you find the best properties to buy. Educating yourself and doing your due diligence before purchasing a property based on long-term value instead of the cost can help you get value and make more money in the long run. It doesn't matter where you are. Every area has its Price Tag, and you can get the highest returns wherever you operate if you use the right strategy. Your strategy should focus on your goals. So educate yourself to know what works for you and buy right. Focus on what you are good at and where you are comfortable to bring more value to the table. You have to bring more than just money to the table to create greater land value. Join the conversation with Slade Priest as we discuss lessons and strategies to buy and sell land profitably.

If you are looking for practical strategies to increase your food plot performance, no-till and light-till might be the answer. There are many benefits of employing no-till and light till rotation on your food plot. They will significantly improve the general health of your food plot soil by increasing organic matter, moisture retention, seed germination, and the overall performance of your food plot. However, using the no-till or the minimum till strategy depends on what you are planting and your food plot goals. Knowing what you want and what you need will help you get the best results. So, do your soil test soil, know where you are, know how big your food plot is, and have notes on each field to maximize your outcome and save money in the long run, Join the conversation with Lincoln Rohn as we discuss food plots, no-till and light till, culti-packers, planting cover, and deer.

Join this conversation with Steve Hanson as we discuss your journey to owning a hunting land. We discuss the land market since the 1980s farm crisis, common mistakes in the land buying process, and the importance of funding your land deal correctly. Steve encourages land owners to expand their search horizons. Once you have committed to buying a farm, be aggressive. If you see what you want, buy it. Do not wait for the perfect timing because that is just a fallacy. There are always good deals anywhere and every time. Being aggressive does not cost anything. Everybody can be aggressive.

Five Things To Consider When Buying And Transforming Your New Farm The layout of the property: Whether you're buying a property or leasing one, what is around that property is more important than what is on it. Look beyond the boundaries. Human intrusion ruins a lot of good things: You should look for properties with little human pressure. Make your property the prime property in the area (hub), and the deer from the surrounding property will come to your property at some point as part of their travel. The first thing to focus on is security: If you have the most secure property in an area, that is where they will go when the pressure is on. Security is the most important thing, and once Don figured this out, his success skyrocketed. Food will help populate deer on your farm, especially in the right season.
