Land Academy Shifts into Third Gear for 2022 (LA 1639) Transcript: Steven Butala: Steve and Jill here. Jill DeWit: Good day. Steven Butala: Welcome to the Land Academy Show. Entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala. Jill DeWit: And I'm Jill DeWit. Broadcasting from the valley of the sun. Steven Butala: Today Jill and I talk about how Land Academy is shifting into third gear for 2022. Jill DeWit: You just brought this up on Clubhouse last week. Steven Butala: I have. I have this thing about there are stages in everything. Usually four stages. Three or four stages in everything. So Land Academy is getting into stage three. Which, stage three of everything is the most exciting for me. It's like, "Yeah, we know what works!" I'll explain it all, but stage four is where it all works and you're just eating bonbons and hanging out. It's not that fun. Jill DeWit: By the way, I was going to thank everyone who suffered through yesterday's show. It was kind of a hodge podge of topics. I think it was funny though. I just wanted to get that out of there. Steven Butala: Oh yesterday's podcast? Jill DeWit: We were all over the place. It's kind of like, "Who are these people?" Steven Butala: You know, if your girl's like mine, the holiday season is here. So everything is a distraction from that. See, Jill's whole life right now is about Thanksgiving. By the time this airs, Thanksgiving might even be on. Jill DeWit: It will be Tuesday. Steven Butala: And then it's about Christmas after that. And then it's about New Year's. We have a tremendous amount of decorations for all of these holidays. It really starts with Halloween. So working for Jill is no fun. Jill DeWit: What? Steven Butala: Because it gets in the way of decorating and getting turkeys and stuff. Jill DeWit: You don't work for me. You don't work for me. Steven Butala: I didn't say that. Jill DeWit: Oh, okay. Steven Butala: I said, working for Jill is a real distraction against what she wants to spend time on, which is the holidays. Jill DeWit: I didn't understand the way you worded that, but I think I know where you're going. Steven Butala: It's a backwards compliment. So really Jill sitting here just doing the show is getting in the way of what she wants to do for Thanksgiving. Jill DeWit: Oh! I'm like, where are you going with this. Steven Butala: Mm-hmm. Jill DeWit: I understand. Steven Butala: That started yesterday with the podcast. Before we get into it, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the landinvestors.com online community.

Steven Butala: Fifty acre access list. Jill DeWit: Thank you. Parcel for 42,000. He used the word that started with an L for those of you who are listening and I just hate that word. We both do. Before acquiring, we spoke with property owners around it until we came across a nice lady who was willing to give us an easement for next to nothing. Now we're under contract to sell. What did we buy for again? Steven Butala: Fifty. Jill DeWit: Fifty thousand. Steven Butala: Forty two. Jill DeWit: Now we're under contract to sell for $210,000. Steven Butala: Buy for 42, sell for 210. Jill DeWit: Because he made a call and found a nice lady who would give access. Steven Butala: Because they got on the phone, ran down Joe's checklist for when you buy a property. Talk to the neighbors. And they made $158,000. More than that. Jill DeWit: Ding ding. Steven Butala: One-hundred and seventy. Jill DeWit: Beautiful. Is there any more to it? Steven Butala: Nope. Jill DeWit: Okay. That was awesome. So there was really no question. Steven Butala: No. Jill DeWit: That was just a statement. Steven Butala: This whole week is really a celebration of, because it's Thanksgiving. Jill DeWit: Good. Steven Butala:
