In this episode of the Forever Cash Podcast, I speak about how to negotiate with sellers to get more land deals from your Land Profit Generator direct mail campaigns.
One of the essential skills you will need to develop as a real estate investor to get more land deals is negotiating with sellers and buyers.

When should you start to negotiate your land deals?
If you follow the Land Profit Generator method, you will start the deal process by sending between 500 to 1000 direct mail letters to landowners in your chosen county.
Once you send your letters, you can expect a response rate of approximately 4%. Typically this results in between 30 and 40 calls. Of those calls, you can expect at least 2 of your offers to be accepted outright. While a good portion of the landowners may not be the ideal seller, there will still be a few open to negotiation. If you want to get more land deals, you will need to know how to negotiate with these potentials sellers.
How does the renegotiation work?
A critical step to take after your direct mail campaign is to re-engage sellers that did not accept your first offer. You can do this by email, direct message, or texting your prospective seller, reminding them that a deal is on offer.
If the seller calls you back, you want to make sure that you are in the best possible position to open negotiations.
- Ask the seller if you can make an appointment to call them back at an opportune time
- Go back to your initial research and make sure that your property evaluation is as accurate as possible
- Take some time to decide on the uppermost limit that you are prepared to spend on the property
- Contact the seller and open negotiations with the aim of finding a middle ground.
A number of our students have followed these steps and have managed to close more land deals per direct message campaign whenever they reengage and negotiate with sellers.
