- 0:30Speaker 2: About the money. This is the financing portion of your
- 0:33Speaker 2: land and development. We're going to talk about institutional funding,
- 0:36Speaker 2: seller financing, private lenders, and crowdfunding institutional funding. This is
- 0:44Speaker 2: where the slides get less cute with visuals, right, but
- 0:51Speaker 2: it's a serious matter. Farmers dot gov is a website
- 0:55Speaker 2: that I want to tell everybody to check out. You
- 0:59Speaker 2: might not have any intention of farming, but with what's
- 1:03Speaker 2: going on with food sovereignty, being able to purchase land
- 1:08Speaker 2: through the USDA and loan products that are available, as
- 1:14Speaker 2: well as being able to take advantage of any grants
- 1:19Speaker 2: and different things that are available with food sovereignty projects,
- 1:24Speaker 2: it's a no brainer. Look into Farmers dot gov. That
- 1:28Speaker 2: is a great resource. When you are purchasing land. Institutional
- 1:33Speaker 2: funding is your typical funding. That's when you go to
- 1:36Speaker 2: Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Chase, or Citizens Trust Bank,
- 1:44Speaker 2: Unity Bank and you say, I want to buy this
- 1:49Speaker 2: piece of land, I would like to build a home
- 1:52Speaker 2: on it, and I would like to sell it. They've
- 1:54Speaker 2: got the best rates that it's the hardest to get,
- 1:59Speaker 2: so you're going to need to speak to multiple lenders,
- 2:01Speaker 2: and you're going to do best by starting with a
- 2:04Speaker 2: bank that you already have a relationship with. So this
- 2:08Speaker 2: goes without saying, before you try your hand at investing
- 2:12Speaker 2: in any land, you should be credit worthy. You should
- 2:16Speaker 2: have an exceptional credit score. You should have money and
- 2:20Speaker 2: savings in the bank. At least, you know, twenty five
- 2:23Speaker 2: percent of your disposable income should be saved in the
- 2:27Speaker 2: bank before you start buying land and investing in this way. Yes,
- 2:33Speaker 2: you can buy affordable land at affordable prices cash outright,
- 2:40Speaker 2: and if that's the strategy you want to do, by
- 2:43Speaker 2: all means do it. But if you're going to do
- 2:46Speaker 2: a development project of scale, you're going to need institutional funding.
- 2:51Speaker 2: And to get the best rates and to even be
- 2:54Speaker 2: considered by a traditional lender, you are going to need
- 2:58Speaker 2: exceptional credit and experience that track record. Again, there's ways
- 3:04Speaker 2: to get around it if you don't have a track
- 3:07Speaker 2: record and no one on your team has a track record.
- 3:10Speaker 2: By partnering strategically with your constructor your excuse me, your builder,
- 3:16Speaker 2: your developer, speak with multiple lenders. Set up your LLC again,
- 3:22Speaker 2: talk to that strategy, that business consultant, that strategist, that
- 3:26Speaker 2: business attorney. Put your LLC into position by having the best,
- 3:33Speaker 2: most credit worthy people on your LLC, people who have
- 3:37Speaker 2: experience in maybe they have been a general contractor if
- 3:43Speaker 2: you have someone in your family or in your friend group,
- 3:46Speaker 2: use the people who are in the best position to
- 3:50Speaker 2: be able to go after institutional funding. If you do that,
- 3:56Speaker 2: seller financing is the better option if you know you'd
- 4:01Speaker 2: have less than perfect credit.
- 4:07Speaker 3: No ash, hold on ask because we got to hear that.
- 4:12Speaker 3: We gotta hear that. The good folks that zoom something
- 4:15Speaker 3: your sound kIPS going in and.
- 4:17Speaker 4: Out, they're trying to sensor you like your sound your asking,
- 4:21Speaker 4: can you repeat that because your sound yourself is cutting
- 4:24Speaker 4: off like every like ten minutes for like a minute.
- 4:26Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 4:26Speaker 4: I don't know what's going on, but can you can
- 4:30Speaker 4: you start back at the beginning of seller financing please?
- 4:32Speaker 3: We can't. We can't let that go on muted.
- 4:34Speaker 2: Yes, I apologize. I probably have an unstable internet connection.
- 4:39Speaker 4: It's all good any anytime, anytime. Let you do that again,
- 4:42Speaker 4: because we don't want anybody to miss any information. Like
- 4:45Speaker 4: when your sound goes out, we'll just start talking because
- 4:48Speaker 4: it's usually like only for like thirty seconds, So then
- 4:50Speaker 4: we'll start talking and then we could just bring you
- 4:52Speaker 4: back into just so whenever you hear it start talking,
- 4:55Speaker 4: just know that your sound cut out, and then we'll
- 4:57Speaker 4: just bring you back in when your sound comes back on.
- 4:59Speaker 3: Yeah, because I got my know to ash and I'm like, wait,
- 5:01Speaker 3: what just happened?
- 5:04Speaker 5: Get the information? Hook a crook man, that's a fact.
- 5:07Speaker 3: Shout out to every Shout out to everybody that has
- 5:09Speaker 3: their hand raise.
- 5:10Speaker 5: We're gonna get to that.
- 5:10Speaker 3: When Ashley fins with the presentation, we see the questions,
- 5:13Speaker 3: We're gonna get to that, all.
- 5:14Speaker 2: Right, bet seller financing. What I was saying is it's
- 5:18Speaker 2: usually a better option because seller financing typically does not
- 5:24Speaker 2: report to the credit bureaus. Sellers typically just want to
- 5:30Speaker 2: get their money, and as long as you pay them,
- 5:32Speaker 2: they have no reason to report to the credit bureaus.
- 5:35Speaker 2: So that means your debt to income racial is not
- 5:39Speaker 2: going to change because that debt that you have on
- 5:42Speaker 2: that land is not going to be reported, so you
- 5:46Speaker 2: know it, but nobody else is gonna know it. So
- 5:49Speaker 2: seller financing means you could go and put loans out
- 5:52Speaker 2: on twenty properties real quick and start flipping them on
- 5:56Speaker 2: how you might see it as an opportunity, and your
- 5:58Speaker 2: debt to income reach is not going to change, and
- 6:02Speaker 2: you'll be able to move on your projects or get
- 6:06Speaker 2: institutional funding as needed or additional credit cards as needed
- 6:11Speaker 2: without these land deals being on your credit report and
- 6:15Speaker 2: pulling your debt to income ratio to a lower score.
- 6:21Speaker 2: So with seller financing is scamming season, so be careful.
- 6:28Speaker 2: People will put a picture of a property up at
- 6:31Speaker 2: like they are the seller and you go and you're like, oh,
- 6:35Speaker 2: I just bought twenty five acres for five stacks, and
- 6:39Speaker 2: you did not just buy twenty five acres for five stacks.
- 6:43Speaker 2: So make sure you are doing your due diligence, that
- 6:46Speaker 2: you're checking the tax records to make sure that the
- 6:51Speaker 2: person who says that they are the owner the seller
- 6:54Speaker 2: is the seller. Check with the listing agent, make sure
- 6:58Speaker 2: that the listing agent is is an official broker. And
- 7:02Speaker 2: you protect yourself in every former fashion by going through
- 7:07Speaker 2: a closing attorney on your seller financing deal. That's how
- 7:12Speaker 2: you cover your assets. Okay, don't go do a seller
- 7:17Speaker 2: financing deal straight up, and you might not actually end
- 7:22Speaker 2: up buying this land, unless, of course, you are again
- 7:26Speaker 2: a season investor, a season real estate investor that's used
- 7:30Speaker 2: to buying properties and putting deeds in at the text
- 7:34Speaker 2: assessor's office and with the court in the county. If
- 7:38Speaker 2: that's not you, you need a real estate agent and you
- 7:41Speaker 2: need a close an attorney to ensure that your transaction
- 7:45Speaker 2: with the seller goes through smoothly. Another note, with seller financing,
- 7:50Speaker 2: or what's also known as owner financing, you negotiate with
- 7:59Speaker 2: the You can negotiate what you want and they can
- 8:05Speaker 2: negotiate what they need. So it could be a twenty
- 8:09Speaker 2: percent down payment, it could be a fifty percent down payment.
- 8:13Speaker 2: It can be a flat monthly rate of interest only
- 8:17Speaker 2: with a balloon payment at the end. So make sure
- 8:20Speaker 2: that you do good negotiating so that you get the
- 8:24Speaker 2: best financing terms possible, so that you don't end up
- 8:29Speaker 2: overpaying for this price of land. Because if that's the case,
- 8:33Speaker 2: you hustling backwards. So negotiate. Make sure that you got
- 8:38Speaker 2: your best negotiator doing the negotiating, and you don't lose
- 8:42Speaker 2: your shirt because you're financing a an exorberate interest rate,
- 8:47Speaker 2: you're putting too much money down. Any of those things
- 8:50Speaker 2: can be a bad situation. So negotiate, negotiate, negotiate, and
- 8:56Speaker 2: make sure final note that the owner owns the property
- 9:00Speaker 2: the outright. Ideally, if the owner doesn't own the property outright,
- 9:05Speaker 2: don't buy it. If the property itself has a mortgage
- 9:10Speaker 2: on it, that's going to be more than the down
- 9:14Speaker 2: payment you're going to pay, because when you pay that
- 9:17Speaker 2: down payment, you want that down payment to clear the mortgage.
- 9:21Speaker 2: No out that way, you can end up with the
- 9:24Speaker 2: deed in your name. From that moment you leave the
- 9:28Speaker 2: closing table, that deed being in your name means it's
- 9:32Speaker 2: your property. You can get USDA farm benefits, you can
- 9:40Speaker 2: get all of the things that you need. But as
- 9:42Speaker 2: long as there's a mortgage on that property, in that
- 9:45Speaker 2: seller's name. This deal is a no go in most states.
- 9:49Speaker 2: You can't have a property and sell it while you
- 9:53Speaker 2: still have a mortgage on it, So be mindful that
- 9:57Speaker 2: that mortgage needs to get cleared, and if it can't
- 10:00Speaker 2: get cleared, it needs to be assumed, and you need
- 10:03Speaker 2: to go through the process of legally assuming that mortgage
- 10:06Speaker 2: with the mortgage holder and do it the right way
- 10:10Speaker 2: because you do not want to lose your money. Private
- 10:14Speaker 2: money lenders highest interest rates, hands down, that's not the
- 10:19Speaker 2: way to go if you can avoid it, but it's
- 10:21Speaker 2: easier to get most cases. It's based on the deal.
- 10:26Speaker 2: And you can also get private money from family and
- 10:29Speaker 2: friends if you are lucky enough to have people who
- 10:32Speaker 2: are financially Asstoote and who have savings and are interested
- 10:38Speaker 2: and able to invest in deals like landdills and new
- 10:44Speaker 2: construction opportunities. So if you have somebody in your circle,
- 10:49Speaker 2: go get that private money first. Negotiate, negotiate, negotiate, win
- 10:54Speaker 2: when right, And if you don't have private money of
- 10:59Speaker 2: ail to you in your own personal network, you can
- 11:03Speaker 2: go to a hard money lender. Hard money lenders are
- 11:06Speaker 2: essentially borrowing the money of all the people in their network.
- 11:11Speaker 2: To be able to make loans to you at exorberant
- 11:15Speaker 2: interest rates. A good interest rate for somebody who has
- 11:21Speaker 2: a pretty good credit score who wants to bus and
- 11:24Speaker 2: move before their business has been in business for at
- 11:27Speaker 2: least six months. Because typically all of these financing options,
- 11:31Speaker 2: except for seller financing, you're gonna want to be in
- 11:35Speaker 2: business for at least six months, unless you are doing
- 11:37Speaker 2: a farming business in which you can use a USDA
- 11:41Speaker 2: startup loan to fund your land purchase and your farming
- 11:46Speaker 2: operational expenses. But otherwise you are going to need to
- 11:53Speaker 2: have been in business for at least six months, unless
- 11:57Speaker 2: you're again going with a hard money lender. If not
- 12:01Speaker 2: your heart, your heart money lender is going to look
- 12:03Speaker 2: at the credit score of the primary or the managing partner.
- 12:09Speaker 2: If that person has like a seven hundred credit score
- 12:12Speaker 2: or better, you don't have to have been in business
- 12:14Speaker 2: for six months. Again, Typically the deal will dictate the
- 12:20Speaker 2: private money lenders situation where you might not need to
- 12:23Speaker 2: have good credit, but you definitely need to go and
- 12:28Speaker 2: have these conversations again negotiating with your private money lenders.
- 12:32Speaker 2: My favorite private money lender is direct lending Partners. They
- 12:37Speaker 2: typically do not do deals on land. Most private money
- 12:42Speaker 2: lenders or hard money lenders do not do deals on
- 12:46Speaker 2: just land. But again, this is America. Anything is possible
- 12:51Speaker 2: when you negotiate and open your mouth. Crowdfunding less hoops,
- 12:56Speaker 2: less successful crowdfunding. When we started our when we decided
- 13:03Speaker 2: to purchase land and we were looking at Toomsboro, we
- 13:07Speaker 2: went on to go fund me and we looked and
- 13:10Speaker 2: seen about fifteen or twenty crowdfunding campaigns of people trying
- 13:18Speaker 2: to fundraise the one point seven million dollars for the
- 13:23Speaker 2: city of Toombsboro. Right, crickets on all of the on
- 13:26Speaker 2: all of the crowdfunding like, nobody raised more than like
- 13:30Speaker 2: a thousand dollars on any of these crowdfunding website on
- 13:35Speaker 2: this GoFundMe. So crowdfunding, while everybody gets really excited about
- 13:40Speaker 2: it as an option, it's not usually successful unless you're
- 13:45Speaker 2: very strategic and you have a huge marketing campaign and
- 13:49Speaker 2: a great story. We were able to raise over eighty
- 13:52Speaker 2: seven thousand, We're almost close to our eighty eight thousand
- 13:56Speaker 2: dollars goal. And we used that as a kind of
- 13:59Speaker 2: like a building fun where we were able to clear
- 14:02Speaker 2: our land and put down gravel and you know, lay
- 14:06Speaker 2: down areas for us to do our uh pavilions and
- 14:13Speaker 2: our stages and all those types of things. And so
- 14:17Speaker 2: that was a long and hard process to raise eighty
- 14:20Speaker 2: eight thousand dollars and we still haven't reached our goal.
- 14:23Speaker 2: So I crowdfunding is an option. It doesn't take a
- 14:28Speaker 2: lot other than a strong story and marketing campaign, but
- 14:32Speaker 2: they don't tend to go as far or be as
- 14:35Speaker 2: successful as you would like them to be. And it
- 14:37Speaker 2: takes a ton of money to be able to genuinely
- 14:41Speaker 2: develop large projects, especially when they don't have, you know,
- 14:46Speaker 2: connection to certain infrastructure. So crowdfunding is definitely a later choice.
- 14:53Speaker 2: And then there is regulation crowdfunding, which you can raise
- 14:58Speaker 2: up to one million and seventy thousand dollars. I'm not
- 15:02Speaker 2: very familiar with crowdfunding, and I would love if Troy
- 15:08Speaker 2: and Rashad could get somebody who has done some crowdfunding
- 15:13Speaker 2: in the EYL University at some point, because.
- 15:16Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we did Chrisinegal Chrisinegal, and I'm sure he'll
- 15:20Speaker 4: come back again and get he could do it.
- 15:22Speaker 5: We can do a class on crowdfunding for sure.
- 15:24Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 15:24Speaker 4: Yeah, he had a very he had a very successful
- 15:26Speaker 4: crowdfunding campaign that they raised over a million dollars.
- 15:29Speaker 2: See what I'm saying. So we I can't speak to that,
- 15:32Speaker 2: but that right there, this is how we really start
- 15:36Speaker 2: to develop land. Deal. So that's something that you guys
- 15:41Speaker 2: are gonna come back, have to become earners and come
- 15:43Speaker 2: back and get this class when it comes. All right,
- 15:48Speaker 2: So let's get to the bill. The discovery period. There's
- 15:53Speaker 2: a master planning period, there's a design phase of construction
- 15:58Speaker 2: and marketing. Discovery starting from scratch means you need to
- 16:04Speaker 2: discover the limitations and the restrictions of the land. I
- 16:08Speaker 2: saw somebody in the comments say something about feasibility studies.
- 16:15Speaker 2: That's this moment of discovery. Right. You can do a
- 16:19Speaker 2: feasibility study before you buy the land, but that's a
- 16:24Speaker 2: whole lot of money to put into something and then
- 16:27Speaker 2: decide not to buy it or go forth. If you
- 16:32Speaker 2: study the area, you do your due diligence, you know
- 16:35Speaker 2: what's happening in the community, You've got a clear vision
- 16:39Speaker 2: when you purchase that land. You can do your feasibility
- 16:43Speaker 2: study after the fact. Because developing land is really a
- 16:49Speaker 2: lengthy process. It's not an overnight success type situation. It's
- 16:54Speaker 2: going to cause for a civil engineer to come in
- 16:57Speaker 2: to study the grating and the slopes of the land.
- 17:00Speaker 2: There's gonna be someone who goes and drills into the
- 17:03Speaker 2: dirt to see how much weight the dirt can withstand,
- 17:08Speaker 2: so you know how high you can build and what
- 17:12Speaker 2: you can build, and what kind of materials there's gonna
- 17:15Speaker 2: be best based on the climate. I'm skipping ahead, but
- 17:19Speaker 2: ultimately this discovery period is where you're gonna get your
- 17:24Speaker 2: topographical survey done and you're gonna want to understand the
- 17:28Speaker 2: demographics of the area. Again, what the median income is,
- 17:33Speaker 2: are people graduating from college? Is the crime rates high?
- 17:38Speaker 2: All of that good stuff. So that is your discovery period,
- 17:43Speaker 2: your master planning period. This is where you're a person
- 17:47Speaker 2: that you hired as your master planner looks at where
- 17:51Speaker 2: we're gonna put everything at the infrastructure and the roads.
- 17:55Speaker 2: Ingress and egress means how you go into the neighborhood,
- 17:59Speaker 2: how you go out of the neighborhood, how you go
- 18:01Speaker 2: into your driveway, how you go out of your driveway,
- 18:05Speaker 2: waste management, stormwater runoff. They're gonna plan all of these things.
- 18:11Speaker 2: You are not the person that does that. There's a
- 18:15Speaker 2: master planner, a developer or architect, a civil engineer. There
- 18:19Speaker 2: are a team of experts that sit down and do
- 18:23Speaker 2: your master planning if you're doing a large scale project.
- 18:27Speaker 2: If you're doing a smaller scale project, you still need
- 18:30Speaker 2: the same people, but you might be able to work
- 18:32Speaker 2: with a boutique company that has two, three, four people.
- 18:36Speaker 2: Maybe we're in the same ernest.
- 18:39Speaker 5: What's up?
- 18:39Speaker 3: You ever walk into a small business and everything just
- 18:42Speaker 3: works like the checkout is fast, or seats of digital
- 18:46Speaker 3: tipping is a breeze and you're out the door before

- 21:33Speaker 2: anywhere from one hundred and fifty dollars to seven fifty
- 21:36Speaker 2: an hour, depending on the experience of the master planner,
- 21:41Speaker 2: and so you could be looking again depending on the
- 21:44Speaker 2: amount of the pri acreage of the project. Are we
- 21:47Speaker 2: talking about developing ten acres of land one acre of land?
- 21:51Speaker 2: Are we talking about developing four hundred acres of land?
- 21:55Speaker 2: That master plan to lay out those streets, those roads,
- 21:59Speaker 2: all all of that designed from the information they got
- 22:03Speaker 2: in discovery, from that topography report. They're gonna do all
- 22:08Speaker 2: of that and it can cost anywhere from ten to
- 22:10Speaker 2: fifty thousand or more depending on how much land you
- 22:15Speaker 2: are getting planned and who the planner is. Design phase
- 22:21Speaker 2: Designing is the next step to your development process. This
- 22:26Speaker 2: goes beyond that initial discovery phase intto building homes and
- 22:33Speaker 2: structures and retail and commercial based on the climate the area,
- 22:39Speaker 2: the needs of the citizens. Areas that are prone to
- 22:43Speaker 2: like tornadoes and hurricanes, they will require different kind of
- 22:47Speaker 2: building materials than places that are by and don't have
- 22:54Speaker 2: those type of climate changes and issues. So all of
- 22:59Speaker 2: that can increase the cost of what you're designing. And
- 23:03Speaker 2: this is where you can make a lot of money
- 23:06Speaker 2: or lose a lot of money because you can overly
- 23:09Speaker 2: design and you design something that's too high end for
- 23:13Speaker 2: the area, and now you're not selling because it was
- 23:17Speaker 2: not the kind of design for this neighborhood. Community and culture.
- 23:23Speaker 2: Purchasing land where there's wetlands, deep valleys, other topic, graphical challenges.
- 23:29Speaker 2: That's going to create larger budgets because now you're talking
- 23:32Speaker 2: about building bridges and how you lay in your foundation.
- 23:35Speaker 2: So all of that stuff is a part of the
- 23:38Speaker 2: design fast and it's going to create and have a
- 23:41Speaker 2: certain budget that will change according to the complexity of
- 23:45Speaker 2: the design and the uh, what's the word I want
- 23:55Speaker 2: to use, the style, the aesthetic of it. Okay, construction
- 24:03Speaker 2: This is the second to the last stage of the
- 24:05Speaker 2: rawland development process. In most cases, it's gonna be the first.
- 24:10Speaker 2: Your horizontal development. That's the grading of your roles, that's
- 24:15Speaker 2: the curves, that's utilities. Eventually you know you're gonna start
- 24:19Speaker 2: building the property from the ground up. When you looking
- 24:23Speaker 2: for a contract or your construction team, they're gonna get
- 24:27Speaker 2: paid in increments from your construction loan and once they
- 24:33Speaker 2: have gotten all of the construction done, you're ready to
- 24:38Speaker 2: go onto the next phase. And construction again can take
- 24:42Speaker 2: longer timeframes based on the complexity of the design, the
- 24:48Speaker 2: materials chant leaks in the supply chain or of trying
- 24:54Speaker 2: to get certain materials to you. If you have certain
- 24:58Speaker 2: materials that you are using because you're committed to green building,
- 25:03Speaker 2: or you have a high end design, all of that
- 25:07Speaker 2: can lead to higher budgets and costs. When you're looking
- 25:11Speaker 2: for a contractor or contractors. You can google what state,
- 25:17Speaker 2: what city you're in. If you want to hire you
- 25:19Speaker 2: know a minority contractor, a black contractor. Google that put
- 25:24Speaker 2: Georgia Minority Contractors Association, put Florida Black Chamber of Commerce,
- 25:31Speaker 2: put DC Business League into the results. Call them up
- 25:39Speaker 2: and find a reputable contractor if you don't already have
- 25:44Speaker 2: someone you know. In branding and marketing, that's the last
- 25:50Speaker 2: stage once you've gotten your building done. Before you've gotten
- 25:56Speaker 2: your buildings done to be perfectly honest, branding and marketing
- 26:00Speaker 2: is what's going to sell this community that you just
- 26:03Speaker 2: invested your time, energy and money into. Branding is how
- 26:07Speaker 2: you sell, tell the story of why you built it,
- 26:10Speaker 2: and attract your ideal residents to the community. And marketing
- 26:15Speaker 2: is the active placement of materials and formats that will
- 26:19Speaker 2: allow them to see that story and get that story
- 26:22Speaker 2: in front of the masses so i can show you
- 26:25Speaker 2: better than I can tell you. And I'm going to
- 26:27Speaker 2: take you to a community right here in Georgia that's dope.
- 26:31Speaker 2: In marketing, this is called Trillist. This is a community
- 26:36Speaker 2: that's been being built over the last ten years. It's
- 26:39Speaker 2: actually a community that was founded by a production studio
- 26:44Speaker 2: called pine Wood Studios. It's in Fayetteville, Georgia. This marketing
- 26:51Speaker 2: is what attracts their ideal client. Their values is what
- 26:56Speaker 2: attracts their ideal client. The community that they are building
- 27:02Speaker 2: is for makers, entrepreneurs and storytellers where they can for
- 27:07Speaker 2: fine fulfillment in every way. This is branding a community
- 27:12Speaker 2: tailor made for storytellers. Well, it was a studio that
- 27:17Speaker 2: purchased land built it up, similar to what Tyler Perry
- 27:21Speaker 2: did when he purchased land in East Point to build
- 27:24Speaker 2: Tyler Perry's studios. They built a community that's that economic development.
- 27:30Speaker 2: It's got restaurants in there, homes and so when you
- 27:36Speaker 2: are considering land development and what you're buying, things happen
- 27:42Speaker 2: in phases. And so I wanted to show you this
- 27:45Speaker 2: because when you start talking about doing a land project,
- 27:48Speaker 2: you have to have vision and you have to know
- 27:50Speaker 2: where you're going. So I wanted to show you guys
- 27:53Speaker 2: Trellis and I'm going to show you got close that door,
- 27:56Speaker 2: please star, thank you, Yes and Sarambi, Georgia. Again marketing,
- 28:08Speaker 2: it just looks like the kind of place where you
- 28:11Speaker 2: want to live. Right, They got goats. So when you
- 28:15Speaker 2: start thinking about your project, begin with the end in mind,
- 28:20Speaker 2: and think about who's going to live here, and build
- 28:23Speaker 2: for them, and build in a way that the story
- 28:26Speaker 2: is compelling. That's what we're doing with Freedom Georgia. All
- 28:31Speaker 2: right now, I'm going to take you guys to the
- 28:35Speaker 2: final stage, and I got three minutes before we go
- 28:38Speaker 2: to questions, some insight and inspiration. Don't wait for opportunities
- 28:42Speaker 2: to come, get up and make them, Madam CJ. Walker.
- 28:47Speaker 2: The charter chartering a city. Listen, if you are interested
- 28:53Speaker 2: in chartering a city, hit me up. But the reality is,
- 28:57Speaker 2: as we begin to be more strategic and work these
- 29:00Speaker 2: ideas and principles of group economics and collective economics, and
- 29:06Speaker 2: we're building collectively communities that are safe, that are thriving,
- 29:11Speaker 2: the logical next step is a city charter. A city
- 29:15Speaker 2: charter is going to open you up for benefits that
- 29:19Speaker 2: will give you more control over your community long term.
- 29:24Speaker 2: When it comes to how your community is developed, police,
- 29:29Speaker 2: the zoning, the ordinances, the health outcomes, how money that
- 29:34Speaker 2: gets sent down from the federal government to the state
- 29:38Speaker 2: government gets distributed is based on these cities and their
- 29:45Speaker 2: populations and density. So we really got to look at
- 29:50Speaker 2: how being a city and taking these developments where we're
- 29:55Speaker 2: building our own infrastructure, building our own culture of shared
- 29:59Speaker 2: value values. Then we turn go to the next step,
- 30:03Speaker 2: which is a city charter and electing officials who are
- 30:10Speaker 2: going to represent our values and do what's best for
- 30:15Speaker 2: the residents that live in this city. This is called placemaking,
- 30:20Speaker 2: is what we're doing. It's not just about land developing.
- 30:23Speaker 2: This is about making places where people feel safe, where
- 30:27Speaker 2: people have peace, protection, prosperity, and a city is a
- 30:33Speaker 2: government structure that allows that to actually happen. So that's
- 30:37Speaker 2: our next step. That's what we're going with this. So
- 30:40Speaker 2: get strategic, work together with your comrades, with your partners,
- 30:44Speaker 2: with your like minded business folks in the area, get
- 30:47Speaker 2: with your economic development authority, get with your black Chambers
- 30:53Speaker 2: of commerces, and let's start building these cities according to
- 30:58Speaker 2: our needs, our design. This is how we be strategic.
- 31:02Speaker 4: That was powerful, Thank you, Thank you. That was That
- 31:05Speaker 4: was an amazing presentation. So I don't want people to
- 31:08Speaker 4: take that lightly. It's like, you know, for all the
- 31:12Speaker 4: years that we go to school, whether it's elementary, high school, college,
- 31:18Speaker 4: even master degree programs, me personally. I never, you know,
- 31:23Speaker 4: was taught the process of buying land and this stuff is.
- 31:27Speaker 4: You would think that this would be one of the
- 31:29Speaker 4: key things that would consist of an educational experience because
- 31:33Speaker 4: we all have to live somewhere and land is the
- 31:36Speaker 4: key component of the planet Earth. And it never, it
- 31:40Speaker 4: never was actually taught to ninety nine percent of us.
- 31:44Speaker 4: So it's amazing that you were able to come on
- 31:49Speaker 4: here and teach this, and we're thankful, so thank you
- 31:53Speaker 4: for that. And you know, it's also amazing that we
- 31:56Speaker 4: was able just to even have this platform to actually
- 31:59Speaker 4: educate people. And it's a very encouraging thing and I'm
- 32:03Speaker 4: sure everybody is extremely appreciative of it, but do not
- 32:06Speaker 4: take it for granted. Sometimes when you when you get
- 32:08Speaker 4: things and it's free, you don't fully appreciate it. But
- 32:12Speaker 4: it's like, you know, this could have been Harvard, this
- 32:14Speaker 4: could have been Yale, this could have been any any.
- 32:17Speaker 5: Level of education.
- 32:18Speaker 4: I would uh, I would argue that this was this
- 32:21Speaker 4: was right up there and better than when anybody else
- 32:25Speaker 4: could have done, whether Oxford, anywhere in the world. So
- 32:29Speaker 4: that's that's extremely powerful. And now, like I said, this
- 32:31Speaker 4: kind of information can literally change the trajectory of our
- 32:37Speaker 4: you know, existence in this country and is something that
- 32:41Speaker 4: we have not known about for hundreds of years, for centuries.
- 32:45Speaker 4: So now that we're coming into this information, it's important
- 32:49Speaker 4: that a we learn as much as possible, we apply it,
- 32:53Speaker 4: and also we work together as a group. So yeah,
- 32:56Speaker 4: that's that's something that is extremely extremely powerful.
- 32:59Speaker 5: So once thank you. So what we're gonna what.
- 33:02Speaker 4: We're gonna go into now is question answers for about
- 33:04Speaker 4: twenty minutes. So once again, if anybody joined late, this
- 33:08Speaker 4: is a special edition of eyl University, so once a month,
- 33:12Speaker 4: every single month. So with eyl University, we're educational platform.
- 33:16Speaker 4: Outside of what you see on the podcast. The podcasts
- 33:19Speaker 4: are episodes where you learn a lot. This is more
- 33:23Speaker 4: of a hands on learning experience. So every single Wednesday
- 33:27Speaker 4: at eight o'clock Eastern Standard time, we bring experts from
- 33:31Speaker 4: the field in and they teach a class via zoom
- 33:34Speaker 4: and it's on everything everything from how to wholesale real estate,
- 33:38Speaker 4: to how to analyze the real estate, they'll investing, cryptocurrency,
- 33:43Speaker 4: you name it.
- 33:43Speaker 5: We've had a class and we're going to have more classes.
- 33:46Speaker 4: And then that's every week and then every other Sunday
- 33:51Speaker 4: is our book club headed up by Troy, and then
- 33:55Speaker 4: the alternate Sunday is MG no mortgage guy. He has
- 33:58Speaker 4: a real estate call and then once a month I
- 34:01Speaker 4: do a financial planning call. So those are all the
- 34:04Speaker 4: things that are in existence of Eyo University now right now.
- 34:08Speaker 4: But as I said, we're actually we're putting Eyo University
- 34:12Speaker 4: the undergrad department as you know it. We're gonna we're
- 34:15Speaker 4: gonna end it. This is this will be the last
- 34:16Speaker 4: week of Eyo University as you know it. We're taking
- 34:20Speaker 4: a win a break for two weeks and then we're
- 34:21Speaker 4: coming back in twenty twenty one. We're coming back in
- 34:23Speaker 4: twenty twenty one with a whole new, revamped product. We're
- 34:27Speaker 4: gonna have a professor series where we're bringing in experts
- 34:31Speaker 4: to teach classes four times a year. So it's not
- 34:34Speaker 4: just gonna be one off because sometimes it's hard to
- 34:36Speaker 4: learn with just a one off class.
- 34:38Speaker 5: So we're gonna do four different classes. Business is gonna.
- 34:41Speaker 4: Teach about taxes, ash cash, You gonna teach about financial literacy.
- 34:44Speaker 4: Brandon Rule will teach about real estates, so Being will
- 34:47Speaker 4: teach about all things legal. Quentin Martin will be our
- 34:51Speaker 4: investor teacher kwame uncle will teach about a variety of
- 34:58Speaker 4: different business topics and credit. We will teach about.
- 35:02Speaker 5: The world of credit.
- 35:05Speaker 4: And actually I heard might be interested in being a
- 35:08Speaker 4: professor also, So I don't want to put her on
- 35:11Speaker 4: the spot.
- 35:11Speaker 2: But I've been there. I already said I am down.
- 35:15Speaker 4: So I'm about let me ask you this, because you're
- 35:19Speaker 4: a member of euy University, how has your experience been
- 35:21Speaker 4: so far?
- 35:22Speaker 5: You just joined a couple days ago. Behind you, it
- 35:24Speaker 5: was not a couple.
- 35:25Speaker 2: Of days ago. It's been a couple of weeks. Thank
- 35:27Speaker 2: you very much. You trying to play me like I
- 35:29Speaker 2: just signed up, Like I just jumped on your bandwagon. Okay,
- 35:35Speaker 2: I actually signed up after I did the first e
- 35:38Speaker 2: y L University with y'all. One of my partners, Greg Mullen,
- 35:43Speaker 2: shout out to.
- 35:43Speaker 7: Him, shout the shout out to calv He's also earner.
- 35:50Speaker 7: So I was like, oh, I can't have Kevin and
- 35:52Speaker 7: Greg getting all this good information without me.
- 35:57Speaker 2: So yeah, it's been a great ex experience. Like I've
- 36:01Speaker 2: just been going hard in the real estate section. But
- 36:03Speaker 2: it's like so many classes, Like I'm not even like
- 36:08Speaker 2: it's too much I'm like, it's a lot, Like it's stuff.
- 36:12Speaker 2: I've watched two classes. I literally sat there like taking notes,
- 36:16Speaker 2: and I was blown away by the level of information
- 36:20Speaker 2: and insight that I was able to get. As somebody
- 36:24Speaker 2: who know a little something, you know, I still was
- 36:26Speaker 2: able to learn, which is really cool.
- 36:28Speaker 3: Yeah, we're gonna we always, We're always gonna over deliver
- 36:32Speaker 3: an under promise.
- 36:33Speaker 5: That's that's all.
- 36:33Speaker 3: That's kind of how we live in right now.
- 36:35Speaker 5: And it's like the.
- 36:35Speaker 4: Most the most successful people always are investing themselves in
- 36:39Speaker 4: for Actually, obviously she's an extremely intelligent person and she's like, yo,
- 36:44Speaker 4: I want to be an earner.
- 36:45Speaker 5: I'm not. I'm not above being a member of Eyo University.
- 36:48Speaker 5: And she joined. I didn't even know she was joining.
- 36:50Speaker 4: She joined and she became a member and she she's
- 36:53Speaker 4: studying herself. So that's that's dope, and that's that says
- 36:56Speaker 4: a lot. So thank you for that. So we're going
- 36:59Speaker 4: to get to question. But before we do, like I
- 37:01Speaker 4: said this, this is the last thing that we're gonna
- 37:04Speaker 4: do for Eyle University this uh this year.
- 37:08Speaker 5: On Monday, we're changing it and then we're gonna come
- 37:10Speaker 5: back January first. If you're interested in joining Eyo University.
- 37:13Speaker 5: Like I said, we're revamping this whole thing. We with
- 37:16Speaker 5: the revamp, everything is changing, including the price. The price
- 37:20Speaker 5: is gonna double because we have we're paying professors now,
- 37:24Speaker 5: we got a full time admin. Everything is changing. We're
- 37:29Speaker 5: really really taking us to the next level. If you
- 37:31Speaker 5: joined today, it's forty percent off, which is four four
- 37:35Speaker 5: hundred dollars for the entire year, including seventy classes, all
- 37:38Speaker 5: stuff I just named your grandfathered them for that price
- 37:40Speaker 5: next year. And yeah, so this is the last forty
- 37:45Speaker 5: eight hours. You got forty eight hours before that changes.
- 37:48Speaker 5: So if you're interested, I pinned it in YouTube. It's
- 37:50Speaker 5: eyl university dot com into promo code freedom at the
- 37:56Speaker 5: end at checkout. And I mean, like, realistically, four hundred dollars,
- 38:01Speaker 5: that's like a that's a good dinner with two people
- 38:05Speaker 5: in New York City.
- 38:06Speaker 4: That's a good dinner, two people, a bottle of wine.
- 38:08Speaker 4: So to have this level of education, I think that
- 38:10Speaker 4: we there's nothing comparable to it, especially for that price point.
- 38:17Speaker 4: I mean, people charge ten thousand dollars, nine thousand dollars
- 38:20Speaker 4: for that level of education for a lot less, a
- 38:22Speaker 4: lot less actually.
- 38:25Speaker 3: I always say, man, there's no platform that has this
- 38:29Speaker 3: much information in so many different areas.
- 38:31Speaker 6: Man.
- 38:32Speaker 3: So, like you said, this is this is in college.
- 38:35Speaker 3: This is like two textbooks that you're not even gonna
- 38:37Speaker 3: use because they're gonna give you a new version of
- 38:39Speaker 3: it the next semester.
- 38:40Speaker 5: So Ashley.
- 38:41Speaker 4: Ashley's presentation was a book that was actly like a book,
- 38:45Speaker 4: like if you if you put that in book form,
- 38:47Speaker 4: that's about one hundred and forty.
- 38:49Speaker 3: Pages, and that was a scaled down version.
- 38:51Speaker 5: Yeah that's crazy, that's crazy.
- 38:53Speaker 4: So so yeah, we're interested in having all you guys
- 38:55Speaker 4: join is Pinned.
- 38:56Speaker 5: I'll put it back into YouTube.
- 38:58Speaker 4: It's Eyo University into promo code Freedom, and the price
- 39:04Speaker 4: will be doubling. It's the first time the price is
- 39:05Speaker 4: ever doubled. But we can do that in good conscious
- 39:08Speaker 4: because we're giving you a heads up. So we're giving
- 39:11Speaker 4: you a heads up that the price is doubling. In
- 39:14Speaker 4: two days.

- 39:36Speaker 6: The energy out there felt different.
- 39:37Speaker 2: What changed for the team today?
- 39:39Speaker 8: It was the new game day scratches from the California
- 39:41Speaker 8: Lottery players. Everything those games sent the team's energy through
- 39:44Speaker 8: the roof.
- 39:45Speaker 3: Are you saying it was the off field play that
- 39:47Speaker 3: made the difference on the field.
- 39:48Speaker 8: Hey, little play makes your day, and today it made
- 39:51Speaker 8: the game. That's all for now, Coach one more.
