Direct Mail Acquisition Ideas (LA 945)

Transcript:

Steven Butala:                   Steve and Jill here.

Jill DeWit:                            Howdy.

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 sunny southern California.

Steven Butala:                   Today Jill and I talk about direct mail acquisition ideas.

Jill DeWit:                            Well we all know one.

Steven Butala:                   Let's hear.

Jill DeWit:                            What we do. Land. But wait there's other ways? There's other things?

Steven Butala:                   We purchase real estate through direct mail sending direct mail offers.

Jill DeWit:                            Yeah.

Steven Butala:                   Mostly land. Jill and I buy a lot of houses this way and immediately resale 'em house flip renovators. And we'll be releasing a program called House Academy in a couple months. Or a month or so if everything goes right.

Jill DeWit:                            Yep.

Steven Butala:                   Today's show is about some other things that you can use this real estate data for if you're a little bit creative and quite frankly I learn a lot about this from our other members. They're like, "Hey did you know that we've been buying and selling land and houses for quite some time and we just bought an office building 'cause of doing this?" That kind of stuff. That's what this shows about.

Jill DeWit:                            Exactly.

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.

Jill DeWit:                            Riley asks, "Hello there my name is Riley and I'm based out of Davis county Utah. I'm 18 years old and about to graduate high school." Well this is cool. "However, I didn't attend a regular school. I attended an early college." Okay therefore you're smart. I got that. "Therefore I will be graduating high school with my associates degree in Science from Weber State." Good job. "The last few years people have always asked me what I want to do and I always tell them I want to go into sports science. The full truth is I have always wanted to be an investor. This is what I want to do for the rest of my life. Something where I can work for myself on a daily basis. I do not want my salary to be set by a boss. I want to be my own boss and make a good living and that gives me plenty of time for a future family."

Jill DeWit:                            "The biggest concern is how can someone like me, 18 year old minimal budget, get into rural estate, rural real estate investing? What are some methods I can use to find smaller and cheaper properties that fit my budget to start off? Would it be worth my time to find someone that would invest in me and supply monetary value to kickstart my investing? I'm open to all advice as I have no experience and I have many years ahead of me to learn and take risks." Cool Riley.

Steven Butala:                   Let me talk to you like a father for a second.

Jill DeWit:                            Uh-oh.

Steven Butala:                   No it's very good.

Jill DeWit:                            I'm just kidding.

Steven Butala:                   You're already way ahead.

Jill DeWit:                            It's awesome.

Steven Butala:                   Way, way, way ahead.

Jill DeWit:                            Yeah.

Steven Butala:                   Not only are you graduating from high school on time you're graduating with an associates degree which is great. And I'll tell you what I've always wanted to be I had a secret too just like you. I always wanted to be a private investor. And not necessarily in real estate, but I always wanted to use my money or people who believed in me, their money,
