Key Points From This Episode:

In this episode of the Real Estate Hustlers podcast, we had the pleasure of speaking with Dan Hippercost, the CEO of Front Range Land. Dan shared his journey from managing businesses in high school and college to diving into real estate investing at the age of 21. His early start and strategic approach have led him to a successful career in real estate, particularly in land and development.

Dan’s lightbulb moment came after reading “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” which inspired him to start with house hacking and then move into land investing. He emphasized the importance of having cash for real estate investing, as even seller-financed deals require capital for unexpected expenses. Dan’s active business, Front Range Land, focuses on direct-to-seller marketing for land, which he then buys and sells, occasionally putting new construction on some lots.

Throughout the episode, Dan highlighted the significance of follow-up in the land acquisition process, often engaging in 20 to 30 conversations before securing a deal. He also clarified the difference between raw land and shovel-ready lots, with his business focusing on the latter for quicker turnarounds and reduced risk.

Dan also discussed his new venture, Ground Up Partners, which aims to provide capital for land deals to investors who lack the necessary funds. He shared insights into his marketing strategies, including direct mail and targeted cold calling, and the use of a CRM tailored for land investing.

In terms of his portfolio, Dan’s goal is to use land investing as a cash-generating machine to fund the acquisition of more rental properties. He operates primarily in Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Colorado, targeting markets with strong population and job growth for his active business, while focusing on Colorado for long-term holds.

Dan also touched on the challenges of financing land, the value of mentorship, and the benefits of running a local real estate meetup group. He concluded the episode by inviting listeners to connect with him on social media or his website for more information on land investing.
