(Show Notes: https://REtipster.com/58 ) Clint reached out to me recently because he’s been putting together a well-organized framework for selling vacant land properties (and even though Clint talks about this stuff in the context of the land business, I think a lot of this applies to every niche of real estate). He ga...

#48: Earlier this year, I heard about this guy named Will Mitchell, who is one of the major players in the Belize real estate market. (Show Notes: https://REtipster.com/48 ) Now - why Belize, of all places? Why are we talking about this?

They are looking for trustworthy tools and resources...
