The Dirt Cheap Investment Strategy : Jeremy Brown | Ep 63 | Path of Progress

In this powerful episode of Path of Progress, Alex Kononov interviews Jeremy Brown, a land investor who specializes in complex deals like rezoning, subdividing, and acquisitions others avoid—with over 100 deals across states. Jeremy's journey is more than deals: from a single dad at 19 starting PC repair, to building a 17-year publishing business (authoring/ghostwriting books, mailing thousands for leads), to facing his son's serious medical needs while living in an RV, then pivoting to land investing that thrived in crisis. He shares the BURN storytelling framework (Beginning-Urgency-Process-Newness) he built his company around, creative no-money-down strategies, authority marketing with books, and how his new book "Pursuit of the Deal" creates deal flow. Raw, faith-driven, and tactical—this is inspiration for anyone facing hardship while building wealth.📌 Key Takeaways:✅ Pivoting from 17 years in publishing to land during family crisis✅ BURN process: Storytelling to close deals, delegate, and manage projects✅ Mailing physical books + handwritten notes for leads (authority marketing math)✅ Creative financing: No big cash needed—small EMD, seller terms, assignments✅ Sweet spot deals: Buy under $250K, subdivide, recap with first 2 lots✅ Rezoning/subdividing tough land others ignore for big profits✅ Picking ideal customers (Pareto 80/20) for synergy and joy✅ Book as networking tool: Free giveaways to realtors/planners for referrals✅ Mindset gems: Double your money rule, think in pictures, divine appointments✅ One thing he wishes he knew early: Deals without upfront cash📚 Book Recommendations:– Book of Proverbs– Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill– Pursuit of the Deal by Jeremy Brown (launching soon)🌐 Connect with Jeremy Brown:🌐 Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/jeremy.d.brown.54📸 Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/jeremydbrown/💼 LinkedIn → https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremy-d-brown-7a0b263/📧 Email → [email protected]🎧 Listen & Watch the Full Episode:📺 YouTube → https://youtu.be/JxksbhKjuz4🎧 Spotify 🎧 Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/path-of-progress/id1782550599🙌 Stay Connected📲 Follow us:Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/pathofpro/Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/pathofpro/LinkedIn → https://www.linkedin.com/in/pathofpro/TikTok → https://www.tiktok.com/@pathofpro#PathOfProgress #JeremyBrown #LandInvesting #RealEstatePivot #CreativeFinancing #RezoningLand #SubdivideLand #AuthorityMarketing #BurnProcess #NoMoneyDown #SingleDadSuccess #RVtoRiches #RealEstateJourney #FaithAndBusiness #DealFlow #PursuitOfTheDeal #LandFlipping #ComplexDeals #StorytellingInSales #YoungEntrepreneur #OvercomeHardship
