Creative Ways To Buy Land With No Money
How can people buy land when they have no money? I will walk you through exactly how to get creative in your land investing and get an abundance of properties. But before I get into that strategy, I want you to know we dropped our comprehensive course—How To Buy Land Really Really Cheap. The course covers everything from choosing investment areas, assessing property values, and making offers on properties. Then we get into how to close on properties, get the money to fund your investment, and how to protect yourself when you're making insanely low offers to people.

Now let’s get into some creative ways to buy land when you have little to no money. The reality of the whole game of life is creativity. So what can you do when you want to win and don't have money? I know you're going to think, yeah, sounds crazy, but the truth is money is simply the easiest thing to trade. But you can trade with anything, really. Now I've done this myself to test and see if it's possible because we love to debunk things around here. So if you really want to make your dream of owning land come true, you need to try several different ways. One great way is by trading skills or services that you already have. Another way is to trade hard assets or sell your things.
Try Selling Or Trading Items
The first thing I tried was to take my collection of silver and gold coins and reach out to some land investors. Lots of land investors love that type of stuff—you buy land, you buy precious metals. So I reached out to land investors and offered my coins that were valued at XYZ in trade for any properties of that value. Then I was going to take the properties and sell them on seller financing deals. And literally, the first person I reached out to said yes! Keep in mind you're not usually going to get that lucky. Honestly, I hoped I wouldn't get that lucky because I wanted to make this super creative content piece. But anyway, the first person I reached out to said they would absolutely make the trade. Full disclosure: I knew this person from the online platforms, but we weren't personal friends or anything. So I sent him the coins, and he reviewed all the inventory. Everything looked good, and in exchange, he gave me three properties in Arizona. Then I listed them online on seller financing terms, and I started making passive income from those properties.
Trade Your Services Or Skills
Another creative thing I've done is trade videos for land. Many land investors are older individuals in the game. They're not always that good with their social presence. So I reached out to dozens of people before I got a yes. In this case, it took me a little more effort on the front end to sell someone on the concept, but it was worth it in the end. I told the investor I would do x number of YouTube videos for their company promoting their properties in exchange for x number of properties. Finally, I got someone to say yes. I ended up with a bundle of New Mexico deals in exchange for doing some promotions for them. So if you have a skill set in something, then try to leverage those skills for a property. I've shared on my YouTube channel that my background is in the carpet and flooring industry. I'm a contractor by trade, a blue-collar dude. I could trade those services for land if I really wanted to, so just take note of what you have available and try to use it creatively. Just because you don't have cash in the bank doesn't mean you don't have a way to purchase properties. Take a skill and a little bit of sweat equity and use it to get the money to purchase a few properties.
A Few Other Options
There are several other ways you could get some extra cash to start buying land. You could start a side hustle on the weekend, clean out someone's garage, or even clean someone's house. Maybe you get $200 from the services you provide, and you can use that to purchase a really cheap lot outright. Then you can list it online on seller financing terms and get monthly payments for the property. So let's say you cleaned out someone's garage for $200, and then you negotiate a great deal online for a property for the same price. Now you purchase and list it on a land investment platform or Craigslist if you're broke. Go ahead and list it for $25 down $25 a month for 48 months. This is going to give you a note of $1,200. You just turned your $200 investment into $1,200! So this is a way to create abundance fast, in small little increments.
Wrapping Up
You can take control and change a situation where you have absolutely nothing. Get your hustle on and trade for a property. You can sell the property for monthly payments. Then you have a new cash flow stream. And as that cash comes in, you could reinvest that into more land deals and continue the process. Keep building up your monthly passive income stream until you hit financial freedom. So this is the whole game here—get creative. Just because you don't have cash in your pocket does not mean you cannot succeed at the investment game. You start small, get your hustle on, and figure out what you could trade. Then start trading, and don't be afraid of rejection. Everybody gets rejected. You just have to get through enough no's until you get that official yes. When you get that yes, start riding that wave.
