I like to buy junk land. I like to buy land that somebody else won't buy because there's an issue. Because I had a mentor 20 years ago, you make your money on the dirt. If you can find a piece of land that's got an issue, every problem is solvable, that's where you'll make your money. All right, guys, here with Sean Kaplan in Nashville, Tennessee, your hometown, right? Yeah, hometown, baby.
Never been to L.A. We were talking just now. That's pretty crazy. Never been to L.A. Got to go check it out, I guess. You know, I don't know after hearing some of the stories. You must really like it here if you're not leaving often.
I love Nashville. You know, I was originally from New England, lived in New York and Vermont, but Nashville is super cool. Great people, tons of charisma and character here. I really love the fact that people just are not pretentious. It's a great town and there's a lot of opportunity. Absolutely. What opportunities have you been pursuing lately?
You know, well, I've gotten into real estate land development. I'm on my second piece of property. I found that's pretty lucrative, especially with the rural nature of Tennessee. It's not as lucrative as it was 10 years ago when I started, but there's still opportunity. Yeah. So you're buying land? I get Facebook ads for that all the time. Land flipping. I'm sure you get those too.
Or they're selling the lots at the lake that nobody wants for $14. I like to buy junk land. I like to buy land that somebody else won't buy because there's an issue. I had a mentor 20 years ago and he's like, you make your money on the dirt. He's like, if you can find a piece of land that's got an issue, every problem is solvable. He goes, that's where you'll make your money.
You can make millions of dollars just by doing that. That's interesting because some people would see that as more risk. It is risky, and there's heavy carrying costs because if you finance it, for example, you're making that payment, and it can be like one piece of land I have is five years. It's been five years to get through city council and get fixed. Actually, the final meeting is tonight.
Wow. Congrats, man. Five years, though. You've got to have some balls to be able to withstand that.
Yeah, we went to an auction at a lunch break with my buddy, who's my partner on it. And he's like, you want to go to this land auction? I was like, sure, whatever. And so we go and there wasn't a lot of people there and nobody started bidding. So they brought the bid price down and being a competitive guy, I was like, all right. So next thing I raised my hand and I realized we're in it.
And we bought this piece of land for $430,000. 37 acres right near downtown. And, um, we ended up finding out that it was unbuildable lot 15 minutes after we, we, we won the auction. So you couldn't build on it at all. I freaked out. And then I was like, I just remember hearing Steven tell me my mentor, like, Hey, everything's fixable. And, uh, we went through the steps. We'll go there tonight.
