Buying an Island with Boat Access Only (LA 1254)

Transcript:

Steven Butala:

Steve and Jill here.

Jill DeWit:

Hello.

Steven Butala:

Welcome to the Land Academy show. Entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala.

Jill DeWit:

And I'm Jill DeWitt broadcasting from sunny, Southern California.

Steven Butala:

Today Jill and I are buying an ..., Wow, how's that for subconscious? Today, Jill and I talk about buying an island with boat access only.

Jill DeWit:

What were you going to say we are buying?

Steven Butala:

Today Jill and I are buying an island with boat access only. How great would that be?

Jill DeWit:

Wouldn't that be great? Awesome. See you. Good luck finding us. That would be good.

Steven Butala:

I was talking about satellite. I was talking about somebody who really knows about this recently about the future of cell towers. This guy, his family own a ton of cell towers.

Jill DeWit:

Mm-hmm (affirmative).

Steven Butala:

You know who I'm talking about?

Jill DeWit:

No.

Steven Butala:

I'll tell you later. It's somebody that we know very well that ... Because we haven't ever talked about business socially. It's a good thing.

Jill DeWit:

Okay.

Steven Butala:

Anyway, that this-

Jill DeWit:

What does he drink, then I'll know who he is. Right?

Steven Butala:

His wife doesn't drink at all, because usually she's the designated driver, which I really respect. And he drinks, I'm not sure. No, he drinks red wine and they live [crosstalk 00:01:08].

Jill DeWit:

They live North of us?

Steven Butala:

Yeah.

Jill DeWit:

Oh, that guy?

Steven Butala:

So ...

Jill DeWit:

Cool. I never knew what he did.

Steven Butala:

The satellite technology is, from a satellite perspective, that the mobile technology, I say this because we're talking about living on an island, satellite technology is there, from what I understand, in the sky. It's the devices that we have, can't be this small. They have to be pretty intensely large to make it effective.

Jill DeWit:

Like the old brick?

Steven Butala:

Yeah.

Jill DeWit:

Here it is. You heard it here first, we're going back to the old bricks.

Jill DeWit:

Could you imagine?

Steven Butala:

So, apparently we're a long way away from having a satellite receptor in our pocket.

Jill DeWit:

I understand.

Steven Butala:

But that's not what the show's about.

Jill DeWit:

Why does that work with my watch? Because I can do a satellite subscription, but I think maybe it ties into something else. I don't know.

Steven Butala:

So, it's satellite ... So I wonder if you can truly get the data package-

Jill DeWit:

Because I got the Garmin watch because I'm a geek.

Steven Butala:

I wonder if you can get the real large size, high speed data pack. It's like 5G style in a device that's that small? It's one thing to send GPS coordinates.

Jill DeWit:

Mm-hmm (affirmative).

Steven Butala:

Which is what I think you're talking about, right?

Jill DeWit:

Right.

Steven Butala:

It's not data packets. You can't watch YouTube on your watch from a satellite.

Jill DeWit:

No, but I can monitor my elevation, my speed, I can ... It's pretty good now without the satellite subscription, but it would be awesome with the satellite subscription, it would be that much more accurate.

Steven Butala:

Garmin makes a watch that's four digits, it's not cheap, and we're talking about it. Jill's a perfect customer for that.

Jill DeWit:

Totally.

Steven Butala:

She's a pilot, she's got ... Because we're all about customer data here [crosstalk 00:02:43].

Jill DeWit:

I like all techy stuff.

Steven Butala:

Because we buy and sell real estate. So, we need to ... If you can hone in on your customer, whoever they are, I don't care if you sell water heaters or real estate, you're going to do well. And so, they have this figured out.

Jill DeWit:

I knew the Apple watch wasn't singing to me. And then when this came out, I'm like, "That's the one."

Steven Butala:

The features on that are amazing. And she will endlessly ...
