Show Notes: https://retipster.com/255-jeremy-brown/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=xnS-sipc0NA In this episode, I talk with Jeremy Brown, a land investor with a fascinating backstory. Before land, Jeremy spent 17 years in publishing, helping authors write and market books in a way that built authority and launched businesses. But when his son was born with severe bilateral clubfoot, everything changed. His family hit the road in a sprinter van, traveling the country for treatment, and land investing became the only thing that could keep them financially afloat while working 10–15 hours a week. We cover Jeremy’s pivot from publishing to real estate, how he made over $18K on a deal that paid for critical treatment, the power of storytelling in seller conversations, and the “BURN” framework that helps investors unlock off-market deals by using their life story. 0:07 - Introduction to Jeremy Brown 1:04 - From publishing to land investing 3:51 - The medical crisis that changed everything 7:06 - Life in a van & chasing treatment 8:51 - Embracing problems as blessings 10:53 - Lessons from 500+ author interviews 12:19 - The most stressful moment in the van 14:33 - The $18K deal that saved the day 16:15 - How faith shaped their journey 20:31 - Would God have provided without land? 22:33 - How he made money from books without Amazon 27:20 - Why niche books are a secret weapon 31:16 - Will books lose value in the AI era? 32:13 - Publishing skills that gave him a land edge 36:42 - What is the BURN framework? 41:54 - The deal saved by storytelling 45:35 - How he made $15K+ on 10–15 hrs/week 48:29 - Going deep in one county 52:01 - How to spot a good market 55:59 - Finding new markets & protecting downside 56:16 - What Jeremy wants his sons to remember 58:22 - Advice for overwhelmed investors 59:58 - Where to connect with Jeremy #landinvesting #landinvestor #realestatestrategy #landflipping #landflipper #retipsterpodcast #offmarketdeals #realestatestorytelling #rezoningland #selfstoragedeals #realestateportfolio #landdevelopment #faithbasedbusiness #burnframework #truthandhonor #landbuyingtips #clubfootjourney #landinvestorjourney #realestatepodcast *📊 Manage Land Deals Like a Pro with Stride CRM* https://go.retipster.com/stride/yt-xnS-sipc0NA *Land Portal: The Data Edge Every Land Investor Needs* https://go.retipster.com/landportal/yt-xnS-sipc0NA (REtipster Affiliate Link) *🙋🏻‍♂️ Get the REtipster Newsletter (It's FREE)!* https://welcome.retipster.com/newsletter/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=xnS-sipc0NA *🚀 Land Investor’s Action Plan (Free 5-Day Course!)* https://welcome.retipster.com/5-day-email-course/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=xnS-sipc0NA *⚠️ Land Buyer’s Survival Guide (Free 5-Day Course!)* https://welcome.retipster.com/survival-guide/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=xnS-sipc0NA *👉 10X Your Income from Land Investing* https://welcome.retipster.com/webinar-invite/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=xnS-sipc0NA *😀 Join the REtipster Forum!* https://forum.retipster.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=xnS-sipc0NA *🛠️ All My Favorite Tools and Resources 🛠️* https://retipster.com/resources/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=xnS-sipc0NA
