Summary
I've never invested in raw land. My #1 reason? Since raw land has no utility, there's no way to pull income from it. And at this stage of my life, I value income-producing assets.
But, my guest on today's show has a great system for solving that problem.
He has parlayed raw land into a very helpful income stream leading to his own financial freedom.
Enjoy my interview with Mark!
