Transcript: 



Steven Jack Butala:

I'm Steven Jack Butala.



Jill K DeWit:

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



Steven Jack Butala:

This is episode number 1,942, believe it or not. And today, we are talking in depth about marketing for sale land in 2023 in this economic downturn. And we'll talk later about the difference between buying and selling land as a hobby, or as a career.



Jill K DeWit:

I like this.



Steven Jack Butala:

I vote career.



Jill K DeWit:

Yeah, exactly.



Steven Jack Butala:

But I was reading in Discord, there's a lot of people that have joined that they have roots in the real estate, civil engineering maybe. They have history locally in dealing with land and landowners. And they joined because they want to do a couple deals a year, and they want to be part of the community.



Jill K DeWit:

Well, careful, 'cause that's how it turns into a career. That's the greatest thing.



Steven Jack Butala:

I don't know how you can-



Jill K DeWit:

Isn't that funny? Like, huh, wait a minute, I didn't even work that hard, and I just made $50,000. What would happen if I really tried?



Steven Jack Butala:

What would happen if I spent two hours a day instead of one?



Jill K DeWit:

Exactly.



Steven Jack Butala:

I couldn't stop myself. That's why we're here, actually.



Jill K DeWit:

Yep.



Steven Jack Butala:

Now let's take a question posted by one of our members on the Land Academy Discord online community. If you want to sneak peek at the Discord channel, please go to landacademy.com.
