If you are a novice or small scale real estate developer, this one is for you.

In this episode of the podcast, I sit down with Andrew Overton of Creative Land Strategies. Andrew is a development consultant and mentor with 25 years of experience and a nationwide reach.

There are a bunch of great lessons in this conversation. But my favorite is the idea that acting classes are better than a law degree.

The best part of all of it for me is that Andrew really has the heart of a teacher. So much so that he's created a real estate development certificate program that he sells on his website for a very reasonable rate. He practically gives it away. So check that out at creativelandstrategies.com.
