Our Last Mailer Deconstructed-We Created a Quarter of a Million Dollars (LA 1496) Transcript: Steven Butala: Steve and Jill here. Welcome to the Land Academy show, entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala. Jill DeWit: And I'm Jill Dewitt broadcasting from sweet Scottsdale, Arizona. Steven Butala: Today, Jill- Jill DeWit: I was going to say sweaty Scottsdale, Arizona. Not to make you and the rest of the country mad at us, but it's 22% humidity right now which is pretty darn high for us. Steven Butala: High for us. At 95 degrees, it starts to get- Jill DeWit: A little bit... Yeah. Steven Butala: Start to have thoughts of Christmas. And these things happen when it's may. Yeah. Jill DeWit: I'm like, "I need to be in the pool right now." Okay. Steven Butala: Today, Jill and I talk about how our last... well, we're going to deconstruct our last mailer and show you exactly how we made about a quarter of a million bucks on that. Jill DeWit: Cool. Steven Butala: Before we get into it, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the landinvestors.com online community. It's free. And if you're already a Land Academ member, please join us on Discord. Jill DeWit: Mike D wrote, "Hello everyone. I've actually been a member since August 2020, and I've done 10 deals since then, mostly buy for two to 5,000 and sell for double. I'm starting to gain some momentum. And I'm looking to get some help from members on how to move forward with confidence. I would like to discuss a rather large deal for me, buy for $150,000 and sell for $300,000. And I need the assurance from people that have been doing this a while that it's a good deal. Where can I post the details so it can be discussed? Thanks." Aww. Steven Butala: Mike D., you've done every single thing right, every single thing. It's been about six months, less than six months, you've done 10 deals just like Jill always talks about, get 10 deals under your belt. Who cares what they look like? Who cares how much money you make? Just to see if this is for you. And now you're ready to make $150,000 on a deal. And this is a great question. It's actually my favorite question of the week. I would reach out. There's two or three places that we have set up for this to really get some traction for you and people like you. I would start with Discord. I know you're a member because I can tell on Land Investors. We also have something called Deal Board, which we're kind of phasing out, but our members- Jill DeWit: Because of Land Tank now. Steven Butala: Our members won't let us phase it out because they like it. It's like a bulletin board in a hospital for guitar lessons. Jill DeWit: Yeah, exactly. Steven Butala: And then there's Land Tank. I'm not so sure if you don't have a deal, that Land Tank is the best place if it were me and I can speak confidently. If it were Jill, I would post it on all three places just to see what would happen. Jill DeWit: But I do want to sign purchase agreement though moving forward just to make sure because no one really has a deal until we have that, then we can really talk about it. Steven Butala: If you have a signed purchase agreement and you think the numbers are 150 to 300 and you put it on Land Tank, it won't last three minutes. There's vultures and I say that in a good way, money people in our group that are dying to fund property. Jill DeWit: I would like to add a point here too. We don't always have to double our money. So think about the numbers you've been doing to this point. What if you do it all wrong and you buy it for 150 and you sell it for 250 or 225, those are still great numbers. Steven Butala: We do deals like that all the time. Jill DeWit: So don't worry. Don't stress. If you know going into it, "I'm buying it for 150 no matter what. I really made a mistake. I sell it for 200," you're still going to be just fine. Steven Butala: Yep. That's a big topic for last week that came up a lot.
