Our main course shows you the exact strategies we've used to attract investors, but I'm not going to lie to you... it takes work. It's a lot of effort.
I created the Investors Network to do the heavy lifting for you.
It's like a social network where you can connect with likeminded, aligned investors that actually care about people and the planet.
These are folks that I have personally talked to or gotten to know.
We get a lot of people that reach out and want to create a homestead, retreat centre, farm or community (or mix of all of the above)...
They have the money, but not the time.
So if you have the time and want to make it happen, it's a win-win.
But what do investors get? What do they want in return?
Every investor is different, but in return for investing they usually want one or multiple of the following:
1. A safe self-sufficient place for them and their family
2. A vacation cabin property
3. Share in cash flow from the economic drivers on the land (which we teach you how to create in our courses)
Which is totally fair, because they're taking a risk by investing.
For someone like me, who grew up in basement suite rentals in poor parts of town with my mom, it didn't make sense that someone would give what I perceived as "so much money" for so little in return.
The thing is... it's not that much money to some people. This is true for MANY people actually.
Money is far more abundant than most people realize.
And it's WELL worth it to them to have a safe self-sufficient place they and their family can go, or a vacation property.
For some, they'll do it just for the "cool factor" so they can tell people they co-own an off grid property.
Which is totally fine with me! Haha
By the way, when we take investment we do 2 very important things:
1. We keep majority ownership and have a shareholders agreement in place (we'll teach you how we've done it)
This means that we have control of the land, what we do here, what we build, what business activities we do, whether we keep the land or sell it, etc.
The same as if we were the only owners.
2. We keep buyback rights (which we'll also show you)
This means you can buy the investor out in the future if you want to, and become a full owner.
This way, you can actually look at taking an investment more like taking a long-term loan.
How would you buy them out? You could use the economic drivers you'll build into the property to pay for it.
We don't want to buy our investors out because they're awesome and we enjoy working with them.
But we have that option if we ever wanted to use it.
What can you use investors for?
- To buy land
- To build infrastructure on the land
- To create a business or economic drivers on the land to create cash flow
- To expand on any of the above
You can use this if you do not own land and want to.
And you could use it if you do own land and want to build on it or expand.
The Investors Network package isn't JUST connecting you with people who are interested in investing.
It is also a private service where you get 1-on-1 support.
Here's how it works:
1. You can view potential investors profiles
2. You submit your pitch deck, business plan, and financial projections (which our course and business plan package help you create)
3. I send you a video of me reviewing your business plan, financial projections, and pitch deck personally and recommend any tweaks or improvements (aka I help you communicate your vision to investors)
4. You do a round of tweaks or improvements (if necessary)
5. Then I send your plans out to our list of potential investors, and put it on the networking platform for them to see
6. If they are interested, they can contact you directly and you can chat!
And continue the conversation from there!
Where do we find these investors?
We have two methods...
1. They find us and ask to join
2. We actively search for aligned people that are interested in projects like these. We actually invest quite a bit of money into finding these people for you... from detailed ads, to personal reach-outs, to investing in high level mastermind groups around the world to do the networking for you.
Then I personally talk to these people to see if they're aligned.
Using those methods, we've spent over $45,000 putting this together and networking on your behalf (high level mastermind events are expensive).
And we bundle it up in one nice package and offer it to you.
