If you’re reaching out to distressed property owners, I’ve noticed something interesting—land often generates more hot leads than residential properties. Why?
People tend to be less emotionally attached to vacant land compared to their homes. Selling land is often viewed as a purely financial decision, whereas selling a house can bring up memories, family ties, and other emotional barriers.
In my experience, land deals tend to move faster because of this. Less emotion, more action. But hey, that’s just what I’ve observed!
What about you? Have you seen the same trend, or do you think residential properties are still the better route?
Let’s be straight here - what you’re pointing out about land vs. residential properties is Land 101. The lower emotional attachment to vacant land compared to homes is something pretty much everyone in this business figured out their first year.
Are you new to our forum? This is one of the first things every land investor learns as they get into this space. The emotional factor in residential sales versus the more straightforward financial nature of land deals is basically established knowledge among most investors here.
I’d be interested to hear if you have any actual new insights beyond these basics? Maybe specific land niches you’ve found particularly profitable or unique approaches to these supposedly “hot” land leads that might add something fresh to the conversation?
No offense intended - we were all beginners once! Just hoping to push the discussion toward something we haven’t already covered dozens of times.
