AZREIA's Very Own LANDMAN ft. Dave Franecki

On this episode of The AZREIA Show, longtime investor Dave Franecki shares his experience navigating multiple market cycles and explains why he focuses on buying and subdividing land to keep investing simple. He walks through his approach to finding deals using guerrilla marketing and MLS searches, particularly targeting properties with high days-on-market. Dave dives into his creative financing strategies, including seller-financed lots, typically around $30,000 with larger down payments, 12% interest, and shorter-term balloons. He also explains how he assigns or sells notes and uses a servicing company to manage them efficiently. Plus, he shares lessons learned from past high-rate environments and the performance of note investing after 2008. He also offers timely advice for investors facing uncertain markets: anticipate economic shifts, reduce debt, build liquidity, and partner with experienced investors. Dave emphasizes the importance of doing strong due diligence, including surveys and flood zone checks, while treating people fairly. His insights provide actionable strategies for creating value, controlling inventory, and finding opportunity even in challenging times. 01:06 Meet Dave Franecki 01:31 Why Dave Chose Land 02:31 Seller Financing Strategy 05:02 Avoiding Landlord Life 07:24 Creative Deals in High Rates 09:17 High DOM Negotiation Edge 11:57 How to Pitch Seller Carry 16:19 Partnering and Mentorship 17:12 Notes Explained and Deal Math 19:24 Seller Carry Note Setup 20:28 Servicing and Assigning Notes 21:27 Finding Dirt Deals on MLS 21:57 Tonopah Growth and Solar 23:15 Due Diligence and Flood Zones 24:21 Market Outlook and Liquidity 26:52 Home Run Deals and Notes 29:57 Deal Pain and Problem Solving 31:28 Notes Business Today 32:19 Contact Info and Resources 34:21 Final Takeaways and Wrap -- Contact Alden of Silver Crest Opportunity Fund at http://silvercrestopportunityfund.com "AZREIA does not endorse specific investments.
