0% Business Credit: Too Good to Be True? Ari Page Explains

272: In this episode, I sat down with Ari Page, CEO of Fund & Grow, to break down how investors can access 0% business credit and use it like a line of credit to fund real estate deals.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/272)We talked about how this strategy actually works, how much funding you can realistically expect, and where it makes sense (and where it absolutely doesn’t). If you’re a land investor or real estate investor trying to scale without relying on traditional lenders, this is a powerful tool—but it comes with real risks if you don’t use it correctly.Ari also explained how stacking business credit cards works, how some investors are getting up to $300K in funding, and why your credit profile matters more than your net worth.If you’ve ever wondered how to fund deals faster without tying up your own cash, this conversation will give you a clear picture of what’s possible—and what to watch out for. 📊 Manage Land Deals Like a Pro with Stride CRMBuilt for Land Investors!

The New Reality of Land Investing w/ Dave Denniston

265: Dave Denniston is back on the REtipster Podcast to talk about his pivot into curative title investing, why he stopped sending 60,000 mailers a month, and what the land business really looks like from the inside of a $3M+ operation.(Show Notes: REtipster.com/265)Dave is one of the most active investors I know, and in this conversation, he gets refreshingly honest about what is working and what is not.

He talks about why he started it as an introvert, what makes it unlike any other land event, and what burned him out after running four or five of them in a single year. We also cover the problems he ran into with national title companies and his vision for growing revenue from $3M to $ 10M.Dave is also launching a new podcast under the REtipster network called Leadership in Land, focused on the people side of the business.
