E48: Investing In Vacant Land with Brent Bowers

Joining Co-Host Rob Coldwell today is Brent Bowers, coach at TheLandSharks.com. Brent began building his income with a single rental property, and quickly learned that there was a fortune to be made in land acquisitions. With very little competition, there was room for growth buying and selling land. From there, his company grew and he continued to build a coaching and networking program called The Land Sharks, which continues to succeed today. In Brent’s Words: As an Army Officer with over 8 years of service, Brent Bowers was spending a great deal of time away from his family, and he knew he needed to make some changes in order to be more present with his wife and children. His interest in real estate began in 2007 when he purchased his first home, so Brent began exploring real estate investing as a way to support his family while being able to enjoy more time with them as well. In a short amount of time, Brent was able to expand his business, hire a team, and (most importantly) spend quality time with his family while still working hard and helping others. While Brent invests in many different types of real estate, his favorite investment strategy deals with buying and selling vacant land, and he enjoys sharing his expertise in this area with his coaching clients. Brent chooses to live his life based on Bob Burg’s quote, “Your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people’s interests first.” He is passionate about helping other people find success in real estate investing, particularly in land investments. Brent Bowers is currently the CEO of ZechBuysHouses LLC. Vacant Land of the Free, Discounted Houses Colorado Springs, Rent2Own Colorado and Co-Working & Shared Space are all under the ZechBuysHouses Brand.
