@F1mech Great work and insight this weekend, hope to see you back on soon.

[Jon LeClerc @Jon_LeClerc]

@MattP1Gallagher Delulu 💯
I’m with you 🙌🏎️

[Jon LeClerc @Jon_LeClerc]

@robbiehendricks Robbie, I met you at Dan Pierson's Black Card event in April, loved your presentation. Been enjoying your dad jokes and RE insight on here too. Appreciate you sharing.

[Jon LeClerc @Jon_LeClerc]

@mhp_guy Heck yeah. That was the only place I could get my size 14s back in the day!

[Jon LeClerc @Jon_LeClerc]

@robbiehendricks Agreed. Never fun to see folks eat shit on a deal but good to see someone of his stature own up to it.

[Jon LeClerc @Jon_LeClerc]

I've got one of those fun/not fun addictive personalities. It's an asset and liability.

7+ years ago booze was getting most of that attention.

Since sobriety that same trait built 3 businesses and helps us raise 3 kids.

Took me a while to point it somewhere meaningful.

Hard Money for land investors. Who has some deals?

58 acres in TN. Little went to plan.

Bought at $200K. Acreage discrepancy w/ deed + GIS. Got a fresh survey. Worth it.

Sadly seller passed away mid-escrow. Family honored the deal.

Market cooled. Started at $449K, dropped over 10 months. Sold for $309,900.

Would do it again.

@ShaanVP @RyanHoliday Coffee and read at 5am before the kiddos wake up.

[Jon LeClerc @Jon_LeClerc]

@SteveStuWill Wife and I sold ours shortly after our first kid and after we both almost got taken out by a sloppy driver. Such a blast but seemed selfish once we brought kids into the mix.

[Jon LeClerc @Jon_LeClerc]

@WillColeman31 @AnticBikes Best purchase I’ve made in a while! Electric, fun cruising with the kids but also rips and wheelies 😎

[Jon LeClerc @Jon_LeClerc]

It’s easy to lose yourself in the hustle.

Here’s your reminder to have some fun.

This thing, even a few mins a day, has brought me so much joy.

@Mortgage_AI Would love to give it a try

[Jon LeClerc @Jon_LeClerc]

A year ago we had 15 people on our land investing team.

Today it's 4 full time with a couple contract folks handling data, systems, and outsourced lead gen.

Less managing, more doing.

Leaner, faster, more profitable.

This gives me energy, doesn't take it.

[Jon LeClerc @Jon_LeClerc]

@Mortgage_AI Land is a tough one to comp unless your dealing with infill lots or a homogenous market. Would be interested how it performs with rural and recreational land especially in high variable areas like New England.

[Jon LeClerc @Jon_LeClerc]

@ShaanVP Mowing the lawn just did the trick

[Jon LeClerc @Jon_LeClerc]

@ridgeyork @ridgeyork for sure, we always complete survey's in our DD period prior to purchase. If it comes back smaller, it gives us the option to renegotiate if needed or walk away.

[Jon LeClerc @Jon_LeClerc]

Bought a 4 acre parcel in Maine for $22K.

Got a fresh survey. Maine's GIS mapping is atrocious.
Turns out it was 7 acres. Upward sloping w/ seasonal views.

Sold for $71,600.

Lesson: survey when questionable. Adds marketability, potential acreage + value.

@N8RealEstate Buying notes isn't my specialty but land is. Happy to help.
