Transcript:



Steven Jack Butala:

I'm Steven Jack Butala.



Jill K DeWit:

I'm Jill DeWit and this is the Land Academy Show.



Steven Jack Butala:

This is episode number 2,004, and today Jill and I are talking about the five most-asked questions by new Land-Academy members.



Jill K DeWit:

Is this your version, my version, or the team put them up? I'm just curious.



Steven Jack Butala:

What we'll do is reread-



Jill K DeWit:

I've got different questions like, "Are you guys married?" That's what I've just got to start with. This is why I'm asking.



Steven Jack Butala:

How do you answer that?



Jill K DeWit:

See, this is why I want to know. Let me tell you my top-five questions, and then you tell me yours.



Steven Jack Butala:

All right. Go ahead. We'll get to that, we will. Jill and I asked our staff to answer these questions and we'll be serious about it in a second, but I'd like to know your five.



Jill K DeWit:

Okay. "Are you guys married? Where the heck do you live? What do you mean you don't go see your property?"



Steven Jack Butala:

This is pretty accurate.



Jill K DeWit:

You like this? Exactly. "You made how much last year?"



Steven Jack Butala:

Yeah. Is this for real?



Jill K DeWit:

And, "Is this for real?" There we go, that's my five. What are your five?



Steven Jack Butala:

Jeez, my five are, "Is this for real?" Is number one. "What is all this? Can you please just tell me, let's cut to all the stuff. Stop horsing around on the show. What's the deal? Can you really buy land and resell it for more?"



Jill K DeWit:

That's your number one.



Steven Jack Butala:

That's at a cocktail party or from people that have been in the real-estate industry forever. I don't have five of them.



Jill K DeWit:

Oh, that was it.



Steven Jack Butala:

That's the main one like, "What's the deal? Is this for real?"



Jill K DeWit:

Yeah, it's so funny. From that cocktail party, it quickly goes to two things. It splits into, "Well, can I just give you some money?" "Yeah, thanks. No, I don't need that." Or, "Well, it's obviously easy if you idiots can do it."



Steven Jack Butala:

Yeah. I mean, here's a great example. Jill and I, we're doing our estate. We're finishing our estate planning, we're amending it, let's say, and we met with the lawyer that does it. He's like, "I looked you guys up before you got here, and I love land." This is probably a 70-plus-year-old guy who's probably got thousands and thousands of estates under his belt, and all he wants to do is talk about land. He doesn't care about our estate.



Jill K DeWit:

Exactly. Yeah, it's almost like it's like, "Eyes up here."



Steven Jack Butala:

That's a regular-



Jill K DeWit:

"Eyes off the plat map. My eyes are up here." That's a new thing. That's good. I'm more than just a plat map.



Steven Jack Butala:

I attribute that too and I was thinking about it. We are somewhat guilty of, Jill, making this sound easy.



Jill K DeWit:

Yeah, it's true. It happens all the time.



Steven Jack Butala:

You know what?
