Today, the terms ‘financial freedom’ and ‘time freedom’ are often thrown around, touted as being the benchmarks to success. While achieving financial independence and having an abundance of free time are worthy aspirations, we believe they are only a small part of what’s important.

Think of someone you know who is extremely successful but has made a very little positive impact in the world. This is the individual who has it all – all the time and money in the world, with anything and everything at their disposal – and yet they’re unsatisfied. They have plenty of personal freedom, but what they’re missing is a clear and purposeful ‘why.’
At Freedom Land Capital, we define success a little differently. We believe that using our God-given talents and resources to serve others is a marker of true, significant success; our purpose extends beyond our own wellbeing and looks outward to the wellbeing of those around us, such as our clients and our peers.

As a brand, FLC aims to promote and exemplify True Freedom – living an abundant, vibrant, and joyful life of serving God by loving others. We at FLC have set goals on how to achieve our purpose, and we seek to do so alongside our valued customers. We have defined our ‘why’ based upon several key reasons:

Our Values

The conception of FLC was founded on our set of shared values, and these values propel us to work in a way that serves our clients best. As lovers of integrity, discipline and quality stewardship, you can depend on us to help you through your journey to financial freedom. For no reason do we engage in any activity that jeopardizes these values, as they form the integral foundation on which our company is built.

Our Principles

Along with these core values, we have principles that are governed by them. These principles include:

• Intentions. We have your best interest at heart, and will be transparent and honest with you.
• Experience. We work towards ensuring that your experience with us results in high profit, win-win deals.
• Outcome. By partnering with us, you will be sure to gain access to the capital, clarity, and connections you need.
• Partnership. You are part of the team when working with us – and we are glad to have you!
• Education. We stay ahead of the curve so that our business can serve you to the highest standard.
• Integrity. You can expect our utmost honesty, transparency, and respect at all times.

Our Customers

You are the reason our company exists, and we do not take that lightly. We understand your pain points; we know that many people have been scarred in the past by dishonest real estate agents, and as such, we prioritize transparency when dealing with you.

What we seek to achieve by doing this is to build your trust in us. We value well-formed, long-term relationships built on reliability and trustworthiness. For this reason, we are very intentional in hiring the right people and doing the right thing.

Our Goals

As a company, we have goals that we strive to achieve. Hitting target goals and exceeding them where possible is encouraging; it reminds us that we are indeed making an impact in the world. We work hard to ensure that meeting our goals is our minimum achievement. Our topmost, of course, is to become the #1 most recognized and respected brand in the land investing industry.

To Set the Pace

As our customers, you may be business owners just like us. Perhaps you find it difficult staying focused on your goals and remembering why you do what you do. Your individual or company purpose may look entirely different to ours, but we encourage anyone searching for lost motivation to think about their greater purpose. It’s never too late to define or redefine your ‘why’!

So, what is our ‘why’? Look holistically at everything we have listed in this article – our values, principles, and reasoning – and there you have our purpose. We strive to bring fairness and honesty to every action that we take, whilst ensuring each step is consistent with our purpose and helps us achieve our goals. In sharing our purpose, we hope we have been able to inspire you to define your purpose – and, if need be, redefine what you already have to help you sail ahead.

Do you have a great land deal that you want to invest in but have decided against, either because you don’t have the money or because that single investment would tap out your funds?  You may have considered using alternate sources of capital to fund your deal but don’t know where to start, who you can trust, or if it even makes sense to do so. 

Although you may initially have reservations about working with an investor in your land deal, partnering up to buy land has many advantages and benefits.

What are the benefits of having a funding partner for your land deal? Do the benefits outweigh any associated risks? How can bringing a funding partner on board help you achieve your goals?

We hope to address why we think using funding for your land deals makes sense (most of the time)!

Higher Return on Investment (ROI) 

When you use outside capital to fund 100% of the land acquisition costs, your investment is close to $0.  Even after splitting your profits with the capital partner, your ROI dramatically increases compared to funding the deal yourself. 

Not only does joining forces with an investor with similar goals to yours bring in the much-needed capital injection required to boost your land deal, but it also makes securing additional funding in the future much more straightforward.

Increase Volume

Bringing a funding partner on board means that you get the financial muscle to get more deals done than if you relied solely on your resources. As a result, you will be better prepared to move quickly on any lucrative offers as soon as they become available, increasing the volume of deals you can complete and boosting your profitability.

If funding allows you to double your volume, but you’re splitting the profit 50% with a funding partner, it doesn’t take a mathematician to see this doesn’t work. However, with a larger land deal volume, you can take advantage of the benefits of scale. By increasing your current deal flow by five times, for instance, you can see why a funding partner helps you make the most of your investment. 

Spread Risk

As with any other investment, there is always the possibility of suffering losses when you enter a land deal. However, the benefit of having a funding partner is that you bear any losses together, so the burden on you is much less compared to taking on the entire loss from your deal.

Using funders also allows you to protect your principal and ultimately spend more time, money, and effort on improving your systems or sending more mail.   

A Second Pair of Eyes

Besides your due diligence, your capital partner will also play a role in analyzing the deal since they also have an interest in the success of the land deal. They provide a new perspective – validating a sound investment, or potentially uncovering some red flags.  

When you have an investment partner sifting through the details of a potential land deal, you can take the opportunity to tap into their knowledge and experience to help you make informed decisions. What’s more, you will possibly save yourself plenty of financial headaches as a result.

Leverage Funder’s Network/ Knowledge

Depending on the land-specific experience level of your funding partner, the capital partner can assist either deal-specific or a more general level by providing tools, tips, and other valuable resources and connections. 

Additionally, you cannot overstate the importance of networking to the success of your investment. When you work with a funding partner, you increase the pool of potential buyers, agents, title companies and other land investors available to you.

Bigger Deals

When you know you have a capital source ready, willing, and able to fund your deals, your confidence in the investment goes up.  Acquiring much larger and more profitable properties will become a reality. 

By placing you in a stronger purchasing position, having a funding partner allows you to invest in property deals that you would otherwise be unable to afford. As noted above, if your funding partner specializes in the land-buying space, you could leverage their knowledge and connections to find bigger deals.

Talk To Us about Funding For Your Land Investments

Even the most seasoned land investor knows that they cannot do everything themselves. You need to do whatever you know well and let your funding partner handle their specialty to succeed.

Understanding that no one wants to hassle with additional layers of complexity in their deals, Freedom Land Capital aims to create a simple, streamlined approach to funding land investments.

This is a B2B article. And no, we’re not talking about Business to Business. Today, it’s Bible to Business! You never thought the Bible could be applied to business? Well, think again. As we are about to see, many of our business principles are inspired by the Word of God.

There’s so much wisdom we can glean from Scripture, but sometimes it can be hard to apply directly into our lives. It can certainly be a challenge to apply it into our businesses! I came across a portion of scripture this morning while listening to the book, Faith Driven Entrepreneur. It struck me how directly applicable it was to Real Estate investing, and so I wanted to share my thoughts.

In Ecclesiastes 11:4, Solomon says, “Whoever watches the wind will not plant; whoever looks at the clouds will not reap.” He goes on to say in verse 6, “sow your seed in the morning, and at evening let your hands not be idle.” Reading all of Ecclesiastes, but Chapter 11 in particular, helps to put the verse into perspective. Here are our big takeaways from this particular section that we can use in our daily lives as investors.

1. Focus on the opportunity, not the potentially unfavorable outcomes.

It’s easy to dwell on the bad things that might occur in a particular venture, as that is the mind’s default state. The key is to focus on potential success rather than potential failure. In whatever venture you embark on, there is always the chance that something will go wrong. Instead of dwelling on this, ask yourself, Where’s my focus? Discover ways of redirecting your focus. It may take time, but eventually, focusing on the potential positives will become automatic.

2. Don’t delay taking a shot at something out of fear.

Act now and go for gold! Fear and worry are detrimental to the entrepreneur. In other parts of Ecclesiastes, Solomon talks about proper planning and weighing all the risks. Of course, these are important steps that should not be ignored, but sometimes we dwell on the minor details and delay taking a leap of faith. There’ll never be a right time to take any step, especially when in fear – so just take the step! Ask yourself: what are you putting off, and why are you doing so?

3. Take risks and work hard.

Solomon demonstrates that it’s not enough to just plant your seeds and sit back and hope something happens. He says we need to be proactive in our endeavors. Make the investment, then follow up on it and do everything you can to ensure it’ll be a success. You can’t blame anyone for your lack of success when you make a half-hearted effort. Where are you being idle? This is a question we should ask ourselves today. If you are being idle in a particular area of life, set measures to change that dynamic moving forward.

Bottom Line

You may have missed opportunities in the past because you were afraid, too skeptical, or kept pushing it for later. If that’s the case, you aren’t alone – these barriers to success are struggles we have all faced at some point or another. With high risks come high returns, and you can only overcome inaction by doing the opposite. No matter how long you’ve been holding yourself back, it’s never too late to re-evaluate your fears and just do it.

We hope this scripture encourages you. Ecclesiastes 11:4-6 “Whoever watches the wind will not plant; whoever looks at the clouds will not reap. ^{5As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things. 6Sow your seed in the morning, and at evening let your hands not be idle, for you do not know which will succeed, whether this or that, or whether both will do equally well.}

In other words, Just Go For It!
