Jack Butala: Jack Butala with Jill DeWit.

Jill DeWit: Hi.

Jack Butala: Welcome to our show. In this episode, Jill and I talk about 40 acres for 4,000 bucks. Is that too good to be true?

Jill DeWit: Wow.

Jack Butala: Great show today, Jill. Let's take a question posted by one of our members on SuccessPlant.com, our free online community.

Jill DeWit: Cool. Ryan wrote, "I just moved back to Denver and the market is crazy. It has been hard to find a place to live for my family and I, so I decided to see if I could use Data to Doorstep and mailings to get a personal house or duplex property that is at least 20 to 25% discounted. That way I can get in for only the closing cost. I need some help figuring out what criteria to use in Data to Doorstep to get a highly targeted list. Any help ASAP." Sounds like he's looking for a roof. "Thanks, Ryan." Awesome. Awesome, awesome, awesome.

Jack Butala: I've got a couple things to say.

Jill DeWit: I am so glad that Ryan is understanding the big picture on all of this. Ryan knows how to do this with land, so Ryan made the natural progression to ...

Jack Butala: Is that our rock star, Ryan? That's the guy that kills it, the Ryan that kills it in our group, right?

Jill DeWit: Yeah.

Jack Butala: There's more than one Ryan, but I know he's doing really well.

Jill DeWit: Yeah. He's obviously going like you and I years ago said, oh gee, light bulb went off. I guess if it works for land, it might work for something else.

Jack Butala: That's what Data to Doorstep is. It works for all property types from vacant land to skyscrapers and everything in between. Yes. The answer is heck yes, and I'm happy for you. A lot of our members use it for this. We are in the process of putting together a whole program on how to buy your next primary residence for a lot less than you think. What I don't understand is that way I can only get it for the closing cost.

Jill DeWit: Maybe that's the money that he's got set aside or something.

Jack Butala: Well, I think what he means is the lender's going to let him out of the down payment because he bought it so cheap. In my experience, that's not how it works at all.

Jill DeWit: I didn't even read that part of it.

Jack Butala: The point to making a down payment is so that you got some skin in the game. If you're going to sidetrack that ... If you found a lender that does this, will you let me know please?

Jill DeWit: I love it. Oh my gosh.

Jack Butala: All we do around here is buy property for way less than 25% off. I guess we could get it all for free then.

Jill DeWit: Answer the question, Claire.

Jack Butala: No, good for you. Primary resident, our products used, heck yes.

Jill DeWit: I guess he's wondering about the criteria. You know what I would do, Ryan? Go on my ... I just put it on there, on Land Academy, if you dig through Data to Doorstep, you're going to find a criteria ... Excuse me. Search criteria list. You could easily go and print that out and highlight the things that you need to know. That will help you to go through, because otherwise you're sitting there guessing and going, "Where's that found?" and all of that good stuff. You can sit in there, Ryan, and you can isolate a duplex, you can isolate the size of the property, you can isolate how many bedrooms, how many bathrooms. You can even isolate ... I wonder if you saw this. You can isolate the direction that the property faces, by the way, which is just mind boggling. You can put in lakefront.

Jack Butala: There's a mapping function.

Jill DeWit: Yeah.
